It is very cold today! I would love to be on a warm beach somewhere. I will have to just view "Sand Dollar". I collected it a long time ago. It is mounted in a mass of silk and other fibers and beaded. Good memories!

January is a time to start over - evaluate the past - choose what to keep and what to delete or change. Someone on Facebook said that one should cut negative people and activities out of your life - but do not use your fabric scissors. I wish I had documented the author. I plan to delete some negative activities and add some that are pleasant. I started this year with an exhibit at the Denham Springs/Walker Library. If you get an opportunity, go by and see it. The staff was very helpful in the installation. It was a pleasant experience! "Wildfire" is on the front wall. I hand dyed the fabric and made the embellishments. It reminds me of a meadow on fire -animals running to safety. We often run from adversity to a safe place.
I like January 1st! It is an opportunity to start over. I planned to do so many things today but fate interfered. Loud fireworks till 2pm. Beautiful show! Someone ran off the road into my ditch at 3pm - so no sleep. Fortunately no one was injured. But I did do one thing I wanted. I watched the birds and walked about the yard - enjoying God's brilliant flowers! The Azaleas and Roses are blooming! It was so peaceful! I reread this poem that I found in 2017.
