Ugh – I just hate it when this happens. I had been riding a wonderful wave of creativity and sometime last week I came crashing back down to earth. I have figured out that my creativity wanes in direct correlation to increased work stress, so when my brain is being asked to be very analytical, it seems to suck all the creative juices with it.

Until just now, I forgot my own rule about this, and that is when I am not able to generate any new ideas, fall back on the excess ideas that I generated while I was in the creative flow. I have been a good little squirrel and have many nuts stashed, so to keep on, I just need to pull one out and mindlessly stitch until I can get my groove on again. Hope it comes back soon.

Until then, I think Theo has the right idea.

The warmth made me inspired to actually take Dean’s camera and prowl around outside in the sunshine. Look at the new growth comin up already on this Lion’s Tail! What a fabulous day.

Here is the new toy – the VW Thing. Couldn’t resist a pic under the live oak trees.

And some more pumpkin color, I do not know what it is with our house and pumpkins, but they seem to last forever!

Just look at that sky….had to bring out the ficus so it could get some sun and fresh air!

Went to Nanny Pop Pop’s yesterday and Nanny gave us Dean’s afghan from when he was a kid. I just love the blues and will have to try out the crochet pattern. Looks like it would hook up super fast.
