30 Day Creativity Challenge – Day 4
…..my attempt at free form poetry
Sisters and Cousins
Sisters
sibling rivalry
shared memories
some bad but mostly good
some forgotten
others not
separated by marriage and distance
reunited by an aging parent
and children
Cousins
offspring of the sisters
separate lives
because of distance,
circumstance and work
a longing for family connection
reunited because of their children
an unbreakable bond of love
Four generations; Dad, my sister and I, my youngest daughter and her daughter and my sister’s son and daughter and her daughter’s son.

Skylights – Day 4 of January Squares
….thanks to Becky B for hosting #JanuaryLights
Over at the mall a lot of natural daylight comes through the amazing skylights over the stores, especially in the new additions that were recently completed. This skylight is one of the original ones that went in during the last major renovation about 20 years ago. 
Creativity Challenge – Day 3
….today I started a new crochet project
I’m more of a knitter but last year I decided I wanted to learn how to crochet. I took a class and discovered that I already had the basics down. After crocheting a few coffee cozies and dish clothes I stopped. Before I did that though I bought a pattern and yarn to make a shawl. It was suppose to be easy but every time I looked at it I couldn’t figure out the pattern. I’m very much a visual learner and I know that if somehow showed me how to start I’d be fine.
This week I came across a pattern for a very easy scarf that just uses double crochet. No problem…..until I started and I had a nagging feeling that I wasn’t doing it correctly. I went to the computer and a youtube video popped up and sure enough I was doing it incorrectly. Luckily I hadn’t done too many stitches and once I got going it was quite easy. The scarf is crocheted along the length so there are only 15 rows but I had to start with 223 chains. I’m just finishing my 4th row. It’s quite addictive and I’m sure I can finish in a few days. Here’s what it looks like so far.

Looking Up – Day 2 of the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
….thanks to All About Words for hosting the Creativity Challenge
Today I decided to play with the camera on my iPhone. I went to the mall to return a Christmas gift for my father and I noticed that if you look up there are some very interesting designs on the walls above the stores. I was more interested in the patterns and designs than the store names but you might recognize some of retail establishments in my montage of photos.
