I LOVE dark, overcast mornings that drift into light showers all day. A lovely fall day like this reminds me of a certain cherished memory from childhood. A day like this fills me with energy to make things, get things sorted and organized, and it starts my brain going with jillions of ideas...so many that I often have to sit quietly and really listen for a little bit of guidance so that I can jot some of them down.
It also makes me want to concoct a soup or chili for dinner. When I came back from a quick run to Hiller's for ingredients I noticed -- once again -- that the squirrels had moved the yarn bombing snake off of my back landing (outside of my studio). I wasn't sure what was moving the snake until yesterday morning when I caught one (of the 2 or 3) gigantic fox squirrels dragging it down the steps. I sure surprised him -- ha!
Anyway, I moved the snake to the back porch (where the squirrels are actually eating my house) and gave him an adorable pose. I know it won't keep the squirrels away, but it might give them something else to focus on for a while.
Here are just a couple of the first jottings of ideas for a new hand sewn guy:
My evening was taken up with organizing, sorting, sweeping, etc. in the wet studio. I can actually walk around in there again! I still want to do a table clean up before I get back to the wet plaster cloth. Man this feels good!

| Wow -- all of those wads of paper that came as packing material folded up into just this much space! |
 |
| whew -- after! |
