03-08-25 what a nice day
I had a good sleep and woke up with no intention of going anywhere. I made coffee and sat in my chair and started watching my shows did a few little chores and relaxed again and then I was scrolling Facebook when I saw a post by Kristen reminding me that I had wanted to go to the Opening at the gallery today it was already an hour well into it and so I got myself ready and headed there. I am so glad I did. I know what it feels like when people you know come out and support the things that you do and I also know what it feels like when they don’t so to be able to go to a show where I saw the artwork of two of my friends and to see them in person and to have wonderful conversations with artists and creators and watch demonstrations of felt art and wet felt forming and other things that I can’t even completely explain, but I took some cool pictures and it was soul filling.
I did buy a two dollar clearance incense holder with cute little package of incense and a gorgeous piece that Kristen made which I can’t get until the show is over at the end of April but it’s even called ‘Oooh so shiny’. it seriously called my name and one of my favourite things is to have art around me that I know the people who made it. We need to support the people that make beautiful things that bring us joy.
One of the demonstrators was Mary who does wet felting and I was so traced by her tea light holders that she made that I wanted to buy them, but she wasn’t selling them and I said, but if you were to make a couple that I could buy from you I would I would buy them and she just gave me two of them. Although I may be spoiling the surprise, my plan is to send one of them off to my friend Linda in England and then we can both have a beautiful piece of art and think of each other when they’re lit up. it is so lightweight and I can flatten it and mail easily. Mary even did a little video for me telling how to Restore it once it gets there.
After the show, I stopped at Encore to pick up a couple of my friends with benefits crawlers. It was crazy busy in there so there was not a chance I was sticking around instead. I decide to go to ABC country restaurant and try their burger for burger month. There was no one there and it was so peaceful. I read my book, enjoyed a Caesar, and the burger was excellent. My favourite one so far I think. Eventually, some people came in, but I sat there for an hour and a half or two just reading my book and enjoying being out.
Once home, I did all those chores that I normally do on Sunday, taking out the garbage changing the litter box, change my bed, doing the laundry, changing over the dishwasher, all those things. It was really quite a productive hour or so and then I’ve been watching my weird little guilty pleasure Highway Thru Hell ever since. it feels like tomorrow is a bonus day now, but I suspect I will get even more things done.
