Art Room

Sometimes, my daughter is just brilliant. I have a lovely little sun room, with space for my computer, a table, some plants, a storage cupboard, and a few other things. But my computer needs repair so I don’t use the space as a should. Instead, I have taken over the dining room table with art. Today, my daughter suggested I redo that room and make it just for my art.

I started making a few little steps in that direction today. I dealt with the stack of shredding. I made decisions about music books that have been sitting unused for too long. That led to a) playing the piano for a while and b) starting to cull the books on my music shelf. There was even a little time for singing and playing some tunes on the recorder. Once I start on a project like a serious room clean-up, I can often get really engaged, so I’m excited. Having my daughter egging me on is nice too.

I made a special effort to finish a project today so that I can move on to making art in a new space. I have mittens - mere days after what I hope is the last snowfall of the year.
