| St. Marks Lighthouse Dec. 31, 2013
Here's my list of 2013's bumps and blessings. All year long, when something changes me I write it down. I'm an ordinary woman observing the marks in my life, and no doubt missing many.
|
- My quilt Hope was accepted into a national art quilt show, Sacred Threads, near Washington, DC, last summer.
- The art quilt group Sew Arty is thriving, with members being acknowledged -- and recognizing ourselves -- as serious artists. There are 60 artists on our email list. All have taken steps large and small to make our world beautiful in 2013.
- For the first time, there was an art quilt section in the annual Quilt Show at the Florida Museum of History.
- I meditate kind of regularly now. I want to reclaim my spirit.
- I'm finally loosening my tight worrying mom grip to take pleasure in my sons as independent men.
- I bought a big granite mortar and pestle to grind fresh spices.
- My hair is getting shorter… maybe neater… and my closet is nearly empty … got rid of useless clothes to make more room for earrings.
- Photos abound. Instagram, tumblr. … even my iPhone takes high quality pictures. Last week I saw people taking videos and selfies after Christmas Mass in Jesu Church in downtown Miami. A sign in the new Perez Art Museum Miami admonishes no "professional" photography, please. Which implies all else is OK.
- We discovered Atlanta is not so far away, and we joined the great High Museum there.
- C. put duct tape over the camera lens on his iPad so nobody can see into our house -- it's a symbol, not a fear. Yet.
