Silver Linings?

Got an e-mail from my friend Janet this morning saying “no new entries on your blog, so you must be sick.” She’s right. Joshua was down with a “stomach flu” (fortunately of the flat-on-your-back, achy gut variety, not the hugging-the-toilet variety) last week…I mean the un-stoppable kid was out for three days, plus the weekend. Hasn’t been that sick since pre-school germ-sharing. Which he did, with me, then Eli. On Saturday, I started feeling yucky. It is THURSDAY, and I still feel yucky, albeit less bad than yesterday. So not much doing…except…

Drum roll….the silver lining is that this week I’ve lost more weight than the past two months at Curves! If I can keep most of this week’s loss off after returning to normal eating, that’ll make a total of 20 pounds off since June 1, 2005! Yeah! I think maybe celebration, in the form of a hot fudge sundae (one scoop of French Vanilla or Coffee, or maybe a 50-50 scoop, with hot fudge no whipped cream, please) when the ice cream place opens for the season. And only another 10 pounds to go!

As for art…I was supposed to be working on Tableau. Have I babbled about that here? Well, I’ll have to check the archives, but anyway here’s a scan of the initial sketch for the nativity Tableau quilt (and yes, some of it is thin pencil so it won’t be all that easy to “divine”…pun definitely intended LOL):
This quilt will be for my old school, San Domenico School (thank heavens they dropped the “for Girls” when they admitted boys to the lower school, K-8; upper school, 9-12, is still all girls), and will celebrate the annual Christmas program, based on the paintings of Fra Angelico. More about it, the school and preliminary sketches in coming days. Since I want to have it finished in time to enter into Houston (which means done by May 15 or so) I’d REALLY better get to work! At least Monday and Tuesday, though I didn’t feel well, I was able to sit at the computer and sketch composite images. I’ll share some of those in coming days….
