May Day Project Mode

Dear Portland,
You know how I get when I'm in project mode. I have, for the last few days, been cranking out some major knitting projects, planning master books, and even gotten some stenciling started. I'm totally digging it. I feel like my style and aesthetic is really clear right now and I want to take full advantage of that as much as I can. I feel like I don't have all these outside influences that often overwhelm me and drown me like when I'm around you. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely am incredibly inspired by other artists and even just the world around me, but sometimes I can get lost or bombarded with things that aren't my own ideas. So today was very productive in that area. It feels really good to have enough time, and keep my head clear enough, to really work on projects that have been partially developing and also making room for new things.

Also today, one of my downstairs neighbors, Mary, came up and gave me a mini loaf of sourdough bread she had made and asked me if I wanted to go for a hike with her and her dog tomorrow. I'm really excited to finally get out on the land and really get to know my surroundings intimately. I have been craving the smell of wet conifers.

Happy May Day Portland, I can only imagine that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and look like giant snowflakes on the sidewalks.

About Me

The Learning Curve of an Adult Child is singularly me. I suppose it's about the trials and tribulations involved in what "they" call being a grown-up. But maybe it's just about things that happen and things I think about... (Also, that is my computer generated pirate name) My other blog, [hap]hazard, is my best friend and I. We enjoy adventuring.
