I will be hosting the Thanksgiving meal for our family. I have been very busy this year and have not done any decorating for this holiday even though I love the colors and textures of fall. Russets, browns, olive greens, oh my. They are so lovely. Last year I seemed to have lots of time and had lots of autumn in my home. This year not a thing has been added. The problem is do I try to celebrate fall or do I wait and rush into winter?
I have a long list of things to do today. Pinning down all the dishes that are being brought. Making grocery list and then purchasing same. Cleaning house (specifically getting all the dust motes out from under the furniture and the corners. Checking on the rental property and possibly going to hardware store for the last remaining items that are needed. Bathing the dog ( a must to help her with her itchiness). Stopping by my Mom's and checking out her new ceiling in the large bedroom. So you can see it is lining up to be very busy.
At least I do not have to gather materials in the woods like the lovely pilgrim in the posting. I found her image on a wonderful site by graphicsfairy.blogspot.com. I also follow her blog so you can find it in my blogroll. She has accumulated a delightful assortment of images that she graciously shares for craft and art purposes.
My encaustic workshop was great. It is so much fun to help artists learn a new technique and see the way they interpret the material. I love meeting creative people and sharing ideas. I just need to remember to take pictures. Maybe one day I will be relaxed enough to snap a few quick pictures of some of the layout and process.
It seems my personal life may be quieting down. Hopefully!!! Some resolutions took place this week. I know I must be maturing because I am able to move on with my life and not get mired down in petty small feelings.
