Full moon

The beautiful full moon sets in the west at 5:10am...

(I've been awake since 3:26am)

Go Red for Women!!

In recognition of "National Heart Health Awareness Day", I will be wearing red today (in fact, I've been wearing a red robe since 3:16am).

The needle felt mini hands and heart titled "I give my heart to you - A Grandmother's love for her Grandchild" was created for the “Art from the Heart of Bolton" display at the Nashoba Valley Winery. Members of the Bolton Artisans Guild created "heart" pieces for this special wine and chocolate reception on Feb 8, 2009 from 3:30 - 5:00pm

2:17am and all is well??

Well it looks like the Prednisone side effects are winning... INSOMNIA is a common side effect of the medication, and I'm one of the lucky ones whose asthma responds to the prednisone at the cost of sleep. One of the advantages of not sleeping is that I get to read about the possible other side effects.

• "My brain won't shut up" I can relate to this when I wake after 3-4 hours sleep
  
• Mood swings (my moods are always swinging, with or without the drug)
• Moon face (my greatest nightmare) so far it's just a little puffy
• Weight gain (I have a temporary excuse for my added pounds)
• Hungry horrors (loved the 1/2 package of sugar wafers at 10pm last night)
• Blurry vision (as long as it's temporary and doesn't hurt my laser vision)

A couple of weeks to go before I finish my dose. Good news is that while I'm in Vegas, I'll have something to do in the wee hours when the Moxie girls are sleeping - cha ching, cha ching!


On a happier note! Today's fiber adventure, a "felted stone rug" made of felted wool balls sewn together. I'm going to attempt to make one so I'll be making wool balls for a while (it takes >200 of them) or I might just make a mini rug for Doodle's dolls.

Another 4am wake up

This is becoming old really fast - I woke up at 4am again today. I started thinking about blogging - how crazy is that. So here I am at my pc wondering what creative work I can accomplish today. I can continue with the restaurant rendering or start another project. Knowing me, I'll be starting one or two different projects today - it's hard for me to stick to one thing - I'd rather work on several for variety.

I also want to work on my scarf and finish the color patterns piece so that I can work on the solid cabling and bubble stitches. This is the scarf in progress...

Do I want to blog?

Blogging takes time and commitment, neither of which I have much of these days.... It's a great way to share information and photos with friends and family, so I will "try my best" (that's Frances' background voice).
