Although my weekend started out with an unfortunate knitting event (see yesterday's post), it picked up from there. For one thing, I was able to bike for the first time in almost a year. It felt so good to get the exercise and to be able to go downtown without looking for parking. I am pleasantly surprised that the incision from my July 6 surgery (on the back of my right thigh) is fully healed already.
On my first trip, I visited my dad, who is in rehab now. A week ago he landed in the ER with sepsis. That was his fourth ER trip in 7 weeks. Three of them resulted in hospitalization and this is the second time he was released to rehab, not home. Poor guy. He is going through a lot.
I also went to a fund-raiser for the local Rape Crisis Center and to a sketching event with a friends.
And, I finally had time to try a project from this great book I got from the library:
If you look closely, you can see light pencil lines on this sheet of paper:
Then I covered the lines with a watercolor resist pen by Christine Adolph.
Then I played with my paints:
Now I'm waiting for a special Ranger transfer foil to arrive in the mail. When I rub that on these little paintings, the white lines should turn gold! These are little paintings that I'll make into cards. If the gold really works, I want to try larger paintings.
And I'll leave you with a picture of our darling kitten:
She's a keeper!
