Clearing Out

I accumulate things. Everywhere my stuff is, there are piles--magazines, art supplies, letters, kids' artwork, stuff. I made a little dent today. Anybody need some dusty baskets? Or semi-used candles? A brisker (warmer thingy that keeps chips and crackers fresh--unless you leave them too long)? Today was a sorting thru day. Stayed home all day, talked to the girls, trying to work out vacation plans, wiped down shelves and cleared stuff out.

Painting isn't happening yet. I took a glass workshop--using powdered glass and frit. Fun and freeing for me--good to learn some new techniques. I did paint one little bird, first coat anyway. The dismal pictures of the Gulf only make me sad and angry. I guess I need a painting workshop to jump start me. After next week...
