A balancing act. I better not drop anything.

More catch up tomorrow. #dyicad2019 #icad2019 #direction #words #acrylics #taleswithfriendsDay 42 - Daisy Yellow ICAD 2019 Challenge - Key Chain - #dyicad2019 #icad2019 #keychain #words #acrylics #taleswithfriendsDay 41 - Daisy Yellow ICAD 2019 Challenge-Card Catalog- Sleeplessness lends to loosening creative juices or it leads to defective thinking. The dog kept me up most of the because of a huge thunderstorm. I’m not much functional except for painting index cards. A good day for catching up. #dyicad2019 #icad2019 #cardcatalog #words #acrylics #taleswithfriendsA gorgeous Saturday. Going out for my swim this morning I can’t help but look back to admire my flowers, garden and the lines of the house. I had put it all together. Coming home after, I spent an hour watering and weeding. Perhaps it was a hot day to bake but the sour cream was calling out its due date. Rhubarb and sour cream muffins with 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white flour. Next batch will try 100% whole wheat. Sheba got a new batch of biscuits, too. We are now cooling off in the evening on the deck. #saturday #beautifulday #hot #flowers #garden #baking #rhubarbmuffins #coolingoff #taleswithfriendsMaking kimchi - cabbage, kale, carrots, daikon, green onions and spices. Good thing I have a food processor for shredding and grating. #makingkimchi #cabbage #kale #carrots #daikon #greenonions #spices #taleswithfriendsDay 40 - Daisy Yellow ICAD 2019 Challenge- Blueprint - My fingertips are bluish from making prints. I don’t seem to have well defined ones. They will never be able to identify me. I could make for a good thief! #dyicad2019 #icad2019 #blueprint #words #acrylics #taleswithfriends
