My sister-in-law, Katie, recommended Saving Mr. Banks as a delightful movie.  She was absolutely right....  Mary

March 27

A near major disaster at the end of the day, so handed it off to people higher up the pay scale and headed out for a three day weekend.  Not my problem as of 4:30 pm....  Mary

March 26

Another long day but no disasters....  Mary

March 25

At least no truly dumb behavior today....  Mary

March 24

Today at work someone did a truly dumb thing.  I spent half of my day trying to undo it.  They don't pay me enough....  Mary

March 23

Being in the studio each day is the goal, so spring cleaning counts....  Mary

March 22

The luxury of weekends with no alarms set and extra sleep....  Mary

March 21

So tired.  Feel awful.  May sleep all weekend....  Mary

March 20

Last of two labs and three offices moved today. Thank heavens tomorrow is Friday....  Mary

March 19

Poor Monster had to go to the vet today for his annual check up.  Oh the death!  Oh the dying!  Oh the inhumanity.  He was, however, just fine and had even put some weight on his scrawny little frame....  Mary

March 18

Too tired from moving days at work to think of anything more creative than more beading....  Mary

March 17

Slowly but surely....  Mary

March 16

By doing short rows back and forth on the sides rather than going all the way around the central image, it feels like the beading goes faster.  It is surely just perception, but it feels faster....  Mary

March 15

Only four more border rotations to go....  Mary

March 14

Happy Pi Day!  Mary

March 13

This piece is a gift for someone, hence covering the central image....  Mary

March 12

It's been six months of postcards, so it is time to switch things up.  The requirement is to make art everyday and post it to be accountable, so it doesn't matter what the art is.  Did more bead work tonight....  Mary

March 11

I have probably written about the neuron ceiling in my new office hallway already, but it is the best thing about the whole building.  It is probably 15 feet long, and I guarantee that you cannot be grumpy while looking at this ceiling no matter how bad your day is going.  And it is just frosting on the cake that the ceiling is actually a fundraiser for epilepsy research....  Mary

March 10

Anne ordered a knit shirt for me with sequined polka-dots.  I haven't worn it yet, but I do find it amusing....  Mary

March 9

Years ago when Eileen worked at an antique store, she bought an octagonal stool from the 50s with wrought iron legs and a fabulous bark cloth cover.  It has spent the winter out on the screen porch, but I brought in back in on Friday.  It is a big favorite with all the cats....  Mary

March 8

The snow in our backyard has the most interesting mottled pattern.  The squirrels' path from tree to bird feeder is well worn....  Mary

March 7

A Twizzlers licorice twist....  Mary

March 6

First batch of grocery store daffodils for spring.  Heavenly scent....  Mary

March 5

From the Kleenex box on my desk....  Mary

March 4

This is what my brain feels like. The first three labs move starting tomorrow.  Sure hope we're ready....  Mary

March 3

My reading glasses....  Mary

March 2

One little rice chex.  Although after the dilly oyster crackers, nothing has quite measured up.  Better move on from food for awhile....  Mary

March 1

We had popcorn for dinner....  Mary
