- Crepes for breakfast, sweet & pungent chicken for supper, and no-bake cherry cheesecake for dessert. Thanks so much to my family for making me feel special today ❤️Tomorrow I’m going to celebrate my birthday, and even though Covid has changed so many things, I’m going to take some time to focus on all the good things that have happened because of these changes. • • One of the most exciting and comforting things I’m enjoying is making bread. I failed miserably at making sourdough bread but I’m loving artisan bread! It’s easy and oh-so-tasty. As long as I can fit into my pants, I’ll keep making it. • • Another bonus has been family video chats when we’re too far apart to visit (at a safe distance). The visits that do happen are that much sweeter. • • I haven’t worked in a real garden since I lived at home in Dorion. In the past few weeks, we decided to use our neighbours’ rotor tiller (I’m so grateful they let us borrow it!), and we repurposed part of our lawn. Now it’s filled with sprouts and we’re looking forward to a great harvest. (I’m praying I don’t get eaten alive while weeding) 🌱 • • Teaching has changed and I miss seeing my students & making good use of studio materials and equipment. But, new projects and learning activities have kept me on my toes and my crazy-creative students have made things that would never have been made unless we were in this situation. I’ll really cherish the artworks made during this time. • • I learned I could do things I didn’t know I could do. I’ve patched jeans (& crosses it off my to-do list), I’ve cut both of our dogs coats and I learned how to cut Dion’s hair. From a video! 🙌🏼 • • On the weekends and late afternoons, I’ve gone hiking in places we haven’t explored before. I’ve been envious of hiking pictures posted by friends and hadn’t gone myself. Until this past month! And hopefully, I’ll use some of the pictures I’ve taken as inspiration for more paintings. ❤️ • • There’s more, but these are the ones that are special to me, and worth sharing. So many people tell us that gratitude goes a long way to helping us through tough times, and it really does make a difference. So, on the eve of a new year for me, I’m sharing the things I’m grateful for, with you. 😊 🧀Flower child. 🌸☀️My boys ❤️🎣

Just a Project. Just a Mark.
Yesterday, something happened that hadn’t happened before. A student was concerned that he wouldn’t finish his project by the due date (I have mixed feelings on due dates, but I won’t discuss this in today’s post). He said “I can … Continue reading
