Here is a drawing I made of my little organizing home - it's a very special building where lots of organizations meet to plan. It feels like the office lives and breathes. It's been around for a really long time. The couple who owns it bought it for this purpose - they are old hippies themselves. They rent it to all the groups for really cheap. Anyway I went to a training this weekend there so I doodled the space while I took some notes. It was a nice meditation on how places can viscerally make you feel hugged.  

This week I collaged a bookmark for a friend's future birthday since I plan to give her a book. I felt a lot of creativity wanting to be expressed but felt really blocked from actually doing it which was frustrating. But, the more I draw and make stuff the more I think sort of visually and imagine difference little scenes and artistic things I want to do and that is fun!  

Let's be real, this week was terrible. I got diagnosed with a chronic illness and got seriously pulverized at work in more ways than one. How'msoever, I was very creatively productive. I am starting another felted mobile for my nephew because the one me and Ilona made for him, he loves so much and am told he babbles to the felted creatures every morning. It was really helpful to make these and meditate on my love for him. I find felting really relaxing. I also taught my friend how to use shrinky dinks. We watched Chicken run 1 and 2 and crafted one of our favorite characters. I thought everyone knew about shrinky dinks but I was wrong. I love making them!!
