Life's a Stitch

You know how it is. Sometimes the days feel repetitive. I have a basic routine that includes my daily walk with the addition of a geocache now and then. Cooking or planning take away meals. Fitting in something creative: painting, knitting, debriefing with C about his woodworking frustrations and successes. Texting with the kids. Reading, paying the bills. Not too exciting, not much in the way of travel planning. Way too much time spent on online news. Grocery shopping every two weeks with occasional quick visits to the produce or local food stores. 

Next week, however, is the covid version of our art society's annual Christmas show. In the before times it was a huge weekend event, located in a rec centre with many people milling about. This year it will be in a storefront for the first three weeks of December. It'll be a bit smaller with a limit of five masked and socially distanced customers at a time.

I’ll have three framed paintings, a basket of smaller originals and a basket of cards made from prints. I finally finished my elephants, just in time:

this misty fall Pacific Northwest scene:

and another cardinal:

Definitely something to look forward to. It'll be interesting to see how the new format works out.
