January ATC WIP...

I took the day off yesterday. I'm not sick, but I'm not 100% either, so it was a complete day of rest. I have started my artist trading cards for Jan's January exchange. The theme is "snowflakes".  This is a super closeup!

I haven't had my morning coffee yet, so we'll see how I'm feeling once I'm actually rolling. Then I'll know whether it will be another day spent resting, or if I'll actually accomplish anything. sigh I hope your new year is off to a better start. I'll see you again tomorrow.

  1. I'm sorry to read you're feeling off. 😔 It is very important to just stop and smell the roses...one does not always need to be tending the roses. 😉 You and Handsome have had a very "eventful" year. Glad you can have some flexability to fit in a bit of rest...and hopefully rejuvenation. Looking forward to seeing your ATC as I'm already liking the iridescent looking thread on black! (Was also wondering if you had picked a word for the year...or did I miss that?)

    1. Hi Lois:
      I'm so glad you could see the iridescent quality of the thread. I was trying so hard to capture that! I'm feeling so much better today. Really just lethargic, so rest has helped immensely. Funny you asked about my Word of the Year. I planned that for Tuesday, so you didn't miss it. It will be up next time you visit!

    1. Hi Marilyn:
      There are twelve to make this month! I already have seven of them ready for the final touches, which I'll do when the other five are done. It was the perfect way to spend my down time. I'll share them as soon as they're finished.

  3. Sometimes I think it's not so much we're actually sick but just feeling off because of all the dietary indulgences over the holidays. Hope that's all it is for you!

    1. Hi MA:
      I wish there had been indulgences over the holidays. With the exception of me going alone to our elder son's for Christmas Eve, there really wasn't much merriment. We hardly put out decorations this year, and with Handsome being completely laid up, I ate the bare minimum. Perhaps that's what got to me. I might be fighting off what he actually had, but it hasn't had a foothold with me. It's just knocking at the door...and I'm not answering. lol I felt much better on Thursday, so I'm hoping I'm fit for work Friday night. Plus, it's going to be a busy weekend. Hopefully.
