Drought

Weeks are flying by. It seems like the kids only just started the school year and now we're counting down the remaining days left before Summer vacation (30 something I believe)

I haven't finished anything creative lately - I have a number of unfinished paintings, a small quilt that needs batting and a backing, a couple of knitting projects on the needles and not much motivation to work on any of these. I'm going through a period of drought that I hope passes soon. "In a creative life, droughts are a necessity. The time in the desert brings us clarity and charity. When you are in a drought, know that it is to a purpose." - The Artist's Way

Murphys - Queen of the Sierras

Spent a couple of days skiing in Bear Valley during the Spring break - husband and kids skied, I read and knit. We stopped in Murphys on the way home which is always my favorite part of these trips.

Celebrations

I've been without my own computer for a few weeks so I haven't been able to post. Last month we celebrated Easter, my daughter's 13th birthday and the Persian New Year. My daughter was born on the first day of Spring which also happens to be the day of the Persian New Year or Norooz, a holiday celebrated by my husband's side of the family. It's always a special time of the year filled with family events and get togethers with friends.
