Creative This Week

Posted on | January 11, 2008 |

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have been painting and trying new things. To the left is the current state of the painting. It’s not done yet. It still needs some work and final touches, but I figured I’d show what I’ve been doing. It’s a creative process and it requires a lot of patience. I sort of get into a meditative state when I’m painting. It is a good place to be. I want to do some more work on this painting later today.

Several of you have asked for my progress on the new tote design. Well, maybe I’ll also start to work on my first tote later, if I feel up to it. I got some new fabrics the past few weeks, so I’m trying to just start and go with it. And I need to pull out my Fabric Mover. But that requires a completely bare table, which, in itself, is a project!

I have a slight cold right now, which I have been fighting all week. More than anything else, it’s annoying. I can’t be far from a box of tissues and my nose is starting to feel a bit raw. Last night I tossed and turned trying to find the position that allowed my sinuses to drain, but not choke me. Not a lot of fun! I finally got up and showered at 5 am, after trying again and again to sleep with no luck. I plan to stay in today, except for a potential visit to the health food store for some provisions!

As Monday is my treatment, I’m hopeful that a weekend of relaxing and drinking lots of fluids will help. I’ve used my teapot more the past few days than I had in a while. When I’m not feeling well, I’m partial to Stash Jasmine Blossom Green Tea. What is your favorite tea to feel better?
