Ok here we are at the end of the year, and one of my resolutions is to post to the blog more often. I am saying twice a month but I am hoping for much more. Life gets crazy and sometimes I have to reset and start again. So today is reset day, and I am adding another resolution to the list while I am at it. I am going to try to slow down and enjoy the little things a lot more. I have a feeling these things are going to come from my home, my studio work and my yard. I do not think I have shared this here before but I have chickens we started with a small number and what we have is a coop for 20-30 with 5 hens in it. They can entertain me for hours, so I am sharing a photo today that made me smile. I had a hectic morning with a flat tire and a few hours at the repair place followed by some more errands. I came home and let the dogs out and walked to the coop and what did I find 4 big brown eggs waiting for me. 
On the walk back to the house I saw this it made me smile again, the fresh snow was melting and raining off the tree above the fresh snow on the ground. The pattern made me think of silk dyed with kamosage knots a shibori technique. I think this photo may end up printed out and hanging in the studio I see great potential in it for what I am not sure yet.
I am looking at the new year with a great amount of hope, hope that I will find more studio time, hope that I will find more family time and hope that things will go smoothly and that I will notice the little things more and more.
