DID:
- Attended weekly quilting association meeting...
- Nearly finished stitching the last bird on the Flower Garden border...
- Purchased an interesting birthday gift for a friend...
- Stopped at Starbucks twice for my fave. drink: tea with 1 1/2 pumps of pumpkin spice syrup...
- Lunched with several quilters at La Madeleine Restaurant...
- Shopped at my LYS for a lovely skein of yarn for the Peace Project...
- Stopped at grocery store for bananas; got gas.
SAW:
- Sunrise...
- Beautiful baskets made by some of the quilters...
- A new antiques store (NTS: stop by tomorrow after my doctor's appointment)...
- Lovely cut flowers in an array of colors at the grocery store...
- A knitter wearing cool stars and stripes tennis shoes and carrying a matching bag...
- Lovely skeins of yarn...
- Sun setting.
HEARD:
"I even went online and read all the advice I could find about how to handle conversations about the election at Thanksgiving gatherings..." (This statement was made by a woman at the table next to ours at lunchtime.)
DRAW:
This s a quick - maybe 3 min- rendition of a new mantle decoration I bought today at my quilt group's annual craft show; several members also sell their wares at area craft shows...trust me, the real article looks a 1000 times better!
My 11/25 post introduced Lynda Barry's "6 Minutes Diary." Her book Syllabus is an actual reproduction of the notes, drawings, and syllabi she kept during her first three years of teaching in the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Art Department. Pages 60-65 provide more in-depth information and examples of this process. The book is fascinating and not a "quick read," by any stretch of the imagination. I thought it might be fun to try the exercise...I think it would be far more interesting had I actually written the diary page longhand, rather than type. Anyway, I'm going to plan to do this at least once a week for a while...It is fun.
Cheers~
