That is what I've been making the last couple of weeks. I couldn't figure out what was going on, it seems like everything I thought was a great idea turned terrible once I started working on it. I have a few things I need to get done by certain dates and that's adding to the stress. This morning I had an epiphany. It's Thanksgiving this Thursday and I'm having lots of people over to dinner, and next week my daughter is due to have our first grandchild. In the back (or front) of my mind, these dates have been hanging around and I can't concentrate on anything.
Today I decided to give in to the rest of my life, and cook. Cooking relaxes me, and it doesn't take a lot of thinking. I made lots and lots of manicotti, vegetarian and meat based. I'll take some over to my daughter for when she comes home from the hospital, and the rest is for the night before Thanksgiving, when the rest of the kids will be descending. In the background you can see some Rice Crispies, I'm making some R.C. treats next. It's amazing to me that when I'm doing something mindless like this I can come up with some interesting ideas for my art.
Happy Thanksgiving
