Another bright and sunny day.  It's the coolest day this week with the high in the low 70's.  No rain in the forecast, so hopefully today we get Duchess covered.

I have a vehicle to get around in today and there are a few errands I need to do.

The Season of Orange did appear in the main level.  I even got decorations up outside.  And although I have things ready (i.e. fall flowers and leaves already in bouquets) I still need to rearrange things on the upper level but that will probably only take an hour or so.  Believe it or not, yesterday I wound up with a little over 7,000 steps...the majority in the house!  I ask, how does that happen?

I was looking at some of my older creations and realized that I had done collage before...but most of it was fussy cutting like these three examples...



Both fussy cutting and free hand cutting produce collages as you can see...


Well, I am hoping that with the season of orange done, all the guild work done and the house relative clean I will have time for some creative work in my studio.

Cookie, our mischievous kitten, will be blocked from coming into my studio during that time.  I have to keep him out even when I am typing because he walks all over my keyboard.  Right now he is trying to get in but not until this post is done.

So, did you add some reading time in your routine?  It really is a benefit not only for your mental well being but also your leisure time.  Reading can be a entertaining as well as educational.

There's a new challenge posted...check it out.

Talk with you tomorrow...
