Today is tangled
Threads are tight, bits and pieces
Life in pandemic.
Art Prescription: As much as I relish keeping a positive upbeat, there is art that reflects our times.
Slow Stitching with fabric and embroidery:
Today
animals
Moving
Packing a lifetime
Downsizing into smaller
And one level please.
Art Prescription: It seems we spend the first half of our lives accumulating stuff. Then as we age we begin to not need as much, and eventually we need a one story home.
My neighbors are moving to a retirement village. I’m painting their house as a going away gift.

Full Day
So, it occurs to me that I have not sat down since my feet hit the floor this morning!
I’m taking care of two neighbor’s cats and watering their plants daily in this heat!
I swam and walked at Hillsborough Riverwalk with a friend!
Listed a new Stitch Kit in Etsy and worked on a house portrait.
7 pm I’m in bed!!
Sun
Heat of the bright sun
Radiates off my skin now
After a shower.
Art Prescription: and these are two shower days! Biked this morning and then walked this afternoon.
For an indoor cool activity I did list a new Stitch Kit in my Etsy shop!
This one is for kids and beginners! So fun!!
Freedom
Ask for what you want
And know what you need right now
Freedom of spirit.
Art Prescription: Why is it so hard for us to ask for what we want?
Complicated question in complicated times.

Hi from heat infested N.C.!
So, personally, I like sunbathing:
Today we went to historic Pullen Park in Raleigh. I hiked a bunched, but stairs? Excuse me? I don’t do stairs!!!
I do need a proper water bottle for these warm days, but for now I’m happy to drink from improvised cups. I’m pretty flexible.
I was very tired on the way home. Dreaming of catching squirrels!
So long,
diva
Photo Friday
July Daydream
Time for hat, mittens
Air crisp and cool, record scratch!!!
Shorts, sunscreen, and sweat!
Art Prescription: I can always put on more clothes, but to get away from July heat requires air condition!
This little bird hopped into my daydream today:
110 index heat
July has fury
Days of heat index, no rain
I run sprinkler.
I painted more snow scenes:
Christmas in July
In Victorian times women began their Christmas arts and crafts in July.
Seems cooling to paint a snow scene when the heat index is 110 degrees!!
Thank goodness my studio has air con. How did they do it in their hoop skirts and corsets and no air conditioning? No wonder the vapors happened so often!
