This morning my daughter and I talked arts & crafts before I headed off to my appointment with the OT and work. She has been doing a lot of painting recently. Well, illumination really. I watch her from the other side of the living room as she scrolls through, well, scrolls as well as books and manuscripts that are online. After she chooses one she traces and paints it. There are a lot more steps than that. The steps are what we talked about. How she has broken down into steps what needs to happen and in what orders, for the art to happen. Not just the art of illumination but for embroidery stitches and weaving. She breaks it all up into 2 steps, even if it is a series of 2 step increments. When I describe how the tablet weaving I do is just 4 steps she decides that is too many. My goal now is to turn tablet weaving into a 2 step process instead of 4 that someday I may teach her how to weave that way. She has no problem with inkle weaving, that is a 2 step process. 😊
Sometimes it is the small things that make for the
happy of the day. After working for 7 hours on my feet and then driving the 1.5 hours to get home tonight taking off my shoes and socks felt like heaven.
How often do trees just grow together like that?
Or is it some trim job from days gone by?
Because this
song popped into my head.
