I am choosing to occasionally take a day off – an option I didn’t allow myself for years when I started this project. Really, I am again trying to make more time to tackle bigger projects and finish up other ones. The collages are still out on my worktable; I am figuring out ways of framing them up to display at the Harmony Collective gallery in the next month or two.
Just so you can have a picture, here’s a little mockup that I thought might make a nice little t-shirt or something, with some cats I painted last year.

I am still struggling with adjusting to the clock change (don’t get me started ranting about how stupid the twice-annual imposed ritual is!). I went to a lovely pub sing, far out in the Massachusetts hilltowns after work this day, and had a sweet visit with some old friends who used to be closer neighbors before I moved to Vermont. I got back home at nearly 11:00 New Time, and rather than check in to the studio, decided to go straight to bed in hopes of readjusting my personal clock toward getting up earlier in the morning. It sort of worked, I’ll try again tonight.
Yes indeed. Days off are important for body, mind and spirit. And sometimes a work does need more time. l adore the cats!
