I thought I had then realized I hadn't. So, my apologies!<br /><br />Winter blues defense? I choose another form of creative play. This year it's Zentangle. I love it. Minimal blues here. If the they do slip in, I gather hubby and wiener dogs and watch a movie.haezzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645330911551171795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-33065368115051987832015-03-17T15:41:23.069-04:002015-03-17T15:41:23.069-04:00Marvellous pieces!

I have been having issues lately with having enough energy since my work location has changed (hopefully temporarily) and adding an extra ninety minutes onto my day. I am so glad that the challenges I sign up force me into my studio.

It wasn't until I retired that I noticed how morose the winters days were. I was so busy working and raising kids, that while on this treadmill there wasn't time to see much of what winter looked like. By spending the winter in the Keys, I can do all kinds of water activities which I love and still do my beading. I am a lucky person!baymoondesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176264557341209150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-85294759310456419412015-03-14T13:25:08.029-04:002015-03-14T13:25:08.029-04:00Mary your pendant is beautiful and makes me feel t...Mary your pendant is beautiful and makes me feel the spring.

If I would live on the country side, don't have to work, just could have some walks in the snow, come back reading a good bock... I would maybe enjoy the beautiful sides more. But not in a city, not working full time... some days you never see the sun even if it was there! So... what I try to do is to create every day after work even if it is just for a few minutes (another layer of paint, putting a collection of beads togeter for a project, make some raw new form with polymer clay...). It keeps me sane and in winter time more than ever ;)Saraccinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002153353895199412noreply@blogger.com
