<p><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: large;">This year for St. Patrick's Day I created the sweet mosaic heart ornament featuring shamrocks. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: large;">I
upcycled a heart ornament which already had gold paint, and I used
three small
china plates for the mosaic section. One plate had the gold border with
tiny hearts, and I used two other miscellaneous plates that had
shamrocks. The larger shamrocks
awkwardly surrounded the word DAD, so that plate was happy to be reused. None of it cost much at the resale
shop and I'm happy with the result.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: large;"> </span></p>

Welcome sign was a resale find as well, I've had it at least <a href="https://jeanneselep.blogspot.com/2011/03/st-pats-day-treasure.html" target="_blank">since 2011</a>. I was surprised at how nicely
the sign blended with the red chalkboard key holder (that I also
embellished with mosaics). I usually hang a seasonal ornament on one of
the pegs</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: large;"> as the seasons change, and so I needed something for St. Patrick's Day.<br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p>

<p><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: large;">"HAVE A LUCKY DAY" - I
planned on changing the chalkboard sign often, practicing and learning
chalk board art. Great idea, right? But since I first hung the
chalkboard it has only said "Have a Great Day". This is the first time I
have ever changed it, and it's sub-par chalkboard writing so far... I guess I have lots of room for improvement. (All those missed birthdays...)</span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;">

<p><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: large;">Sometimes in winter, after Christmas is past, I start to miss the colors of summer. I love the change of four seasons in Wisconsin, and winter snow is beautiful, but climate change in Wisconsin has evaporated the snow this year, leaving a subdued palette of grays, browns, charcoals and blues. After weeks and months of bare trees and bare ground, </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: large;">white (or gray) snow, </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: large;">and blue or gray sky, I start to long for the colors of spring and summer. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">I know very little about lotus plants, (wiki informs me they are Asian water plants). I have only seen lotus flowers in botanic gardens, and that very rarely. I find lotus flowers exotic, although they are in some ways close to water lilies, which are common in parts of the Midwest USA. Lotus pods look frankly alien. Since I almost never see lotus flowers blooming, I stopped and studied (photographed!) these lotus plants when I saw them.</span></p>

The centers of the lotus plants (the future seed pods) are strange as well, although I wasn't close enough to get better photos.<br /></span></p><p>

The best angle to get the strong reflection wasn't the best for composition, but I include it here anyway.

<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">I wanted to use my favorite Valentine themed china: "Love Story" by Mikasa, shown above. The "Love Story" pattern has silver reflective ribbons forming hearts, and I only have 2 place settings. As a main goal I wanted to use some 'new to me' rose edged floral
plates I got in 2023, Royal Albert's "Serena" pattern, shown below. Arranging started easily and then got complicated as I arranged and rearranged various dishes. </span>

It doesn't result in the greatest photo, but I feel the Welsh dresser is a fantastic piece of furniture, with 10 usable drawers and lots of space to display china. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">On
vacation, I always want the weather to be great for photos, but nature
doesn't always cooperate. On the fall day in late September when I went past Bow Lake in Banff
National Park, Canada, the day was gray with swirling clouds and light snow.</span></p><p>

<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">The view was still beautiful, despite the clouds. A light snow had dusted the mountains, accentuating the textures of the mountains' rocks and the large talus (rock debris) piles. In winter, or a heavy snow, the mountain would be mostly white. Without snow, the rock's textures are less pronounced.</span></p><p>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">My
photos from that day show an atmospheric and somewhat
dreamy mountain and reflection. The clouds moved below the mountain tops and the light changed from time to time as the sun tried to peek through. The misty shot makes the mountain look
deceptively small - the tiny band of green trees on the other side of
the lake are forests of tall towering evergreen trees.</span></p>

Canadian Highway 93 has pull-off spots, from where some of these photos were taken. Avalanche warnings are posted all along Highway 93. These tall peaks seem to be crumbly. We walked on some minor areas of talus, making me think that walking on the other side of the lake would not be my idea of safe. </span></span><br />

<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">She wasn't dressed for paddle boarding, but she's skilled enough to know she was unlikely to fall into the icy water; and what to do if she did fall into the water. (So don't try this on your own!) If you look closely at the large version of her photo, you will notice it is lightly snowing. Considering my daughter was paddle boarding in the mountains, while it was snowing, over icy cold water, I perhaps should have been more worried than I was. </span></p>

I can only imagine it - mountains and clouds reflected below, all around, and the real mountains rising up in front of her. The lake was mirror smooth, but the camera caught more ripple detail, in the same way camera's can capture drops of water in a splash or waterfall that normally our eyes would not see.</span></p>

W</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">hen you stand on near the shore, the mountain's reflection seems to fill the lake. T</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">he lake has intense</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"> blue-green water in the right light conditions, which sometimes adds subtle color to the reflection.</span>

<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">The picture below was taken very near Bow Lake. For a moment the sun started to break through the clouds, and I snapped "a cool sight". But a camera can't capture the range of vision our eyes can see, and so the clouds are are grayer in the photo, the sun was blinding white, and the mountains and snow were less monochrome. This photo only gives a memory of the moment. But I included it here anyway. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">I had a collection of agate geode rock slices purchased over decades that I wanted to display or use somehow. Inspired by Sigmar Polke's stained glass windows in Zurich, Switzerland </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: medium;">(see below)</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">, I decided to use my agate slices to create a window of my own. This way, I could actually use my collection of rock slices instead of storing them wrapped in dusty bubble wrap in a crumbled brown paper bag in a brown box. (Can anyone relate?)</span>

<span style="color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: medium;">(Here
is the how-to...) I prepared the window, and washed the rocks and window very well. I auditioned and arranged the
rocks in a way I liked, using a light box. (auditioning the rocks for weeks!). I took a photo of the final arrangement as a reference. Then I spread
clear E6000 glue in a <i>thin</i> coat on the rocks to glue the rocks to the clean window glass, and let the glue dry. Clear silicon or new resin products would probably work as well.</span>

<p> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">HOW THIS WINDOW CHANGED MY LIFE, for the non-TLDR* crowd. <br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">So here's the story of how this window has changed my life. (Deep Breath...) I had the slices to use, and was inspired by Polke's Windows. I wasn't entirely satisfied by my selection. I heard about the Tucson Gem and Mineral show (the world's largest Gem and Mineral show!) because my son visited Tucson. By then, I had already finished this window, but still wanted to have a better selection of slices (for the next window!). My nephew lived in Tucson, and graciously let me visit. I went to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. (End of breath 1). Days before I left I invited my 20-something daughter to come along. She said yes. We went to the show; and also saw the Grand Canyon in the snow, and walked about 3 miles on the Angel
Bright trail (in snow!), and visited Saguaro National Park, and Antelope
Canyon, and Sedona and more. And I also skied for the first time in 30+ years. (Another breath). I fell in love with the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, and plan on seeing more shows. My daughter now wants to see all the National Parks. So I decided I too would make a goal of trying to see all the National Parks. (Breath) Because I went to the 2023 Tucson show, I have traveled on three other big vacations in 2023 and visited seven National Parks with my daughter; and visited three Canadian National Parks as well with my son and daughter. More trips are being planned for 2024 and beyond, all because of a dusty bag of rocks being turned into a minor art window! (End of deep breath.)</span>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">* non-TLDR - Fun note: My daughter informed me that TLDR (originally typed TL;DR) is a acronym for "Too Long; Didn't Read", used by some people as a way to summarize posts. Apparently TLDR has also morphed into being the header for a summary text at the beginning of articles or e-mails, to summarize for the TLDR crowd what the writing they won't read is about. I think it's interesting here because when blogging I'm always stressing to keep paragraphs short and compact, and that goal cuts into interesting story telling details and notes. Blogging styles and skills are constantly evolving for me, and this post in particular is an example of me playing with writing styles. BTW, I only first heard of TLDR in 2023, LOL! If you read this far into this post, thank you and here is an extra smile for you! 😃<br /></span></p>

<p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">I had goals for 2023. In the beginning of 2023 I made the goal of posting a blog post at least once a month. Truly a modest goal, but something I hadn't done since 2009. I made this goal! As an additional "stretch" goal, I thought I should try to meet or exceed 15 posts. This will be my 16th post in 2023, which means I made more posts in 2023 than I have since 2011. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">[Notes: 1. I love the blog archive gadget on computer viewed blogs (you don't see the gadget with cell phone viewing.) 2. There were multiple months where I needed to "post soon, just to get the post in before the end of the month." I only posted because of my goal.]</span></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: large;">I
never knew either of my grandmothers, and I don't have anything made by
them. Maybe they didn't have the time or interest in creating
decorative items; or perhaps the items they created didn't last to be handed down; or perhaps items created were given to others. So I've
adopted needlework I've found at estate sales, and I mentally stitch connections to centuries of women
relatives I've never met who must have created...<br /></span></span>

can easily imagine the red reindeer runner being a favorite of some child in the household, who look forward to seeing the red reindeer reappear each Christmas. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: large;">Older children and adults may have favored the two train tea towels below. They are a set but are not
mirrored patterns. I think they were displayed but never used when I bought
them. The workmanship makes me smile - each stitch carefully crafted, and the creases firmly pressed in.</span></span>

The styles of previous decades hint at the maker's interests (and available patterns), and could possibly be used to roughly date them, but instead I am happy to enjoy them and reflect on how those earlier holidays may have differed from mine today.</span></span>

<br /><p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: large;">At
your Christmas gatherings this year and the future, take some time to notice any needlework if you are lucky enough to come across any. Even if (and especially if) some of the needlework seems "dated", ponder the thought of the maker's love and effort carrying the spirit of the holidays across time to the current day, and appreciate the works for all they

love affair with trees goes back decades, and it re-surges every fall when leaves in Wisconsin explode into fall colors. Easily identifiable maple leaves were an early love, because their showy fall colors stand out. At some point I became interested in oak trees. I realized I could recognize oak leaves, but I couldn't easily draw them. I realized why when I started collecting oak leaves to draw - there is no one typical oak leaf shape.</span></span></p>

<p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">What is
the shape of an oak leaf? Well, see above. Oak leaves have 5 to 10 lobed sections with pointy or rounded tips. While enjoying autumn I collected all sorts of oak leaves and dried them flat in books. Eventually I
amassed a collection of dried oak leaves, and for fun I used this collection to create the large monoprint* shown above, using the many shapes and sizes of oak leaves I had found.</span></span>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">The diversity of oak trees leaves here in my state boggles my mind. If I drew all these oak leaf shapes people would think I took SO much artistic license, because some of these
leaf shapes are so fantastic. Look at the crazy oak leaf below, how pinched the cutouts between the lobes go. It's like an animae or chibi version of an oak leaf. God or Nature creates fantastic shapes, in millions!</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Eventually I settled on the arrangement I printed below. I wanted my oak leaves to have bright fall colors, so I used the unlikely color of red ink for the print. But in reality, oak trees fall colors
typically are briefly yellow then brown, and frequently the (brown)
leaves stay on well into winter. A sometimes rich brown, but nothing showy like the maple trees. </span></span> </p>

collecting leaves, monoprints and printing, etc., but I will spare
whatever readers are still here. Below are some how-to notes only if you are interested...)</span></span>
<br /></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><b>* Notes</b>:
<br />A monoprint is a form of printmaking where the image can only be made once.
<br />
<br />My process is as follows: I "auditioned" leaves in a layout before individually inking them using a roller brayer and oil based red ink. The leaves are then laid onto a smooth plate, ink face up, and Arches paper is laid over the leaves. The "sandwich" of the plate, inked leaves, paper is then run through a printing press with felt blankets that squish the paper into the inked leaves. The paper is lifted off, any leaves sticking to the paper are removed and I have my monoprint! </span>
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"> The overall print dimensions are approximately 22 inches by 30 inches high (56cm by 76cm high). </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">
<br />Above is an image showing a layout concept vs. the actual print. Notice many of the leaves I ended up using are "mirror images". The large leaf in the middle is over 9 inches long, so now I look for smaller leaves when collecting leaves to dry. </span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">Haunting estate sales, rummage sales and resale shops allows me to find occasional fun items that become family legends. I once found six of the pumpkin and ghost tumblers above. They became family favorites, used constantly year round. Some of the glasses broke, and since I can't replace them, I eventually put them out of sight and only bring the remaining two out around Halloween. I gave one of the glasses to my daughter when she got an apartment, to remind her of home and make her smile. (She insists Halloween is her favorite holiday).<br /></span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span></span><p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">The batty glasses above became a favorite as well. I only found two of them. The glass is stronger, but the black bats don't hold up well in the dishwasher, and are now more of "charcoal" instead of black. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">I now think of the glasses as "ghost bats" - <b>SPOOKY</b>! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: medium;">Dishwashers can "etch" glassware and wear off images, and some glasses wear much more significantly. I should have hand washed these, but the dishwasher damage has been done, and the kids still like them, so I will bring them out each year, but they will still go in the dishwasher.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">Using vintage glassware regularly does take a toll on the glassware - Glasses break, and that's OK. Vintage glassware frequently arrives at a resale shop rarely used or unused, and "using up" a glass is a green option I like. It also teaches the kids to handle glass with more care - (maybe?).<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">When the kids were young, I was so happy to have matching glassware. I gleefully ditched the children's plastic as soon as they were old enough, good-bye plastic sippy cups! Then came the next battle. Every time someone wanted a drink, a new glass would be out, and on a hot day you could fill the top of the dishwasher with dozens of glasses used that day. I started trying to get the kids to use the same glass all day, which led to needing unique glasses so they could tell the glassware apart.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"> Does this happen in other families??? So much for matching glassware!</span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: large;">This post is a
tribute to these favorite glasses, in case they don't survive the Halloween season.</span></p><p><br />

(Periwinkle is a lavender tinted blue, the photos don't necessarily capture the color).

<span style="color: red;"><b>What went well:</b></span></span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">
I got to use the center of a lovely resale butterfly plate!<br />
I used vintage tiles and other beautiful materials.<br />
I used and was more adept at triangular piecing.<br />
I used multiple border elements and lined them up better than I did in a previous project (the table from this set, shown below, for example).<br /> I got to use an unusual color palette that makes me smile including periwinkle, cobalt and light blues inspired by the center butterfly plate.<br />
I'm happy with the materials used - clear silicon caulk, sanded grout, grout sealer.<br />
The project was fast, and finished! <br /></span> </span></span>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">I
love going to botanical gardens, breathing in the fresh and mostly fragrant air, moving about in the outdoors, and seeing thousands of
flowers in their moment of glory in a beautiful setting. Some flowers bloom only once a year for less then a week, so I make an effort to catch the blossoms often and at the best times. The camera comes along to document the
day and allow me to review later any discoveries. My camera also
encourages me to pause and take a closer look. The pause and
closer look may well be my favorite aspect of photography.</span></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;">

A group of flowers might have only one or two with their centers visible, or perhaps an entire area might be full of flowers striving to be noticed. (People are similar to flowers - many times their core is hidden, and there are short magical moments when the sun comes out and they reveal some beauty not normally seen, for those who pause to notice.) <br /></span></span></p><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">When I review my photos, sometimes days or months later, I occasionally find myself entranced by an photo I

20 years ago I saw a stunningly beautiful arrangement of one of my favorite flowers at a
restaurant. Composed entirely of Lilies of the Valley, it was
small and incredibly simple. (And therefore, of course, impossible for
me to duplicate.) The waitress said one of her co-workers had created
it from flowers in from her yard.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">Locations south of me are seeing signs of spring, but here in Wisconsin we had snow this weekend. To get in the Easter and Spring mindset, I decided to share a fantasy spring bird nest with eggs. The nest is real, the eggs and flowers are real, but the photo is entirely "styled". The photos where taken on April 2 in a previous year.</span></span></p>

The flowers spread easily (with encouragement). What does 'spreads easily (with encouragement)' mean? You place the tiny bulbs in the lawn, and over years the flowers will spread slowly, within a couple of square feet. If you want to have it spread over multiple areas you have to place the bulbs there. It seems to grow better in the shade, and the bulbs don't seem harmed by lawn weed chemicals. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">My daughter and I spent about one day visiting the Grand Canyon in February, getting out on the South Rim overlooks for both the sunset and sunrise. The overlooks had several people around at sunset. At sunrise, the cold (very cold) overlooks were effectively deserted. Warm clothing (and foot traction microspikes/cleats) made the experience wonderful.</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Watching the lighting change over time, the nearly full moon rising near sunset, (and setting around sunrise) and the shadows lengthen, deepen, and crawl across the landscape was both meditative and special. The moon glows in the morning until the sun begin to rise, and quickly turns pale as the advancing sun chases it under the horizon. </span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">I set a vintage glass window a</span></span>t the top of my stairs one year, and now it stays there from Christmas to Valentine's Day. I have a love of lettering, and I used four silver wooden letters to spell out 'LOVE'. After Christmas and before Valentines Day it looks the the vignette above. The lighting on the window changes throughout the day, casting fun shadows and a glow off the silver paint. </span></span><br />

I am going to quickly send out this short post, which will increase my posts this year by 50%. (From 2 to 3!) I haven't given up on blogging, but 2022 was a year of returning to travel, and 2022 was probably my most creative year yet. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">I went on 7 vacations (some small - weekend weddings, Trips to nearby Door County, WI), and one incredible trip to Italy - Milan, Venice, Florence, Cinque Terre and Lake Garda. I created more mosaics, worked on printmaking, improved my calligraphy (and attended IAMPETH's conference in Atlanta, Georgia), dabbled in ceramics (I wasn't planning on that, but...) and even learned how to use a forge. Quilting got a boost when I attended my first ever AQS Paducah Quilt show. <br /></span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">I hope to post more in 2023 - or travel more, create more, and hopefully I'll manage to do both! </span></span><br />

(Do cookies and deserts count?) Valentine's Day is especially favored if the colors pink and red make your heart sing; and if flowers, hearts and lace appeals to your soul like it does to mine.

(and sometimes I was literally only combining 2 or 3 elements to make one card!) I think finishing the first card took over 1 hour, but it was also a time spent enjoying the beautiful papers and embellishments. As we got into the swing of things, the following cards became easier and faster. Creative design takes time even with/especially with tons of materials at hand, and the results were worth it.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"> </span></span>

cutting a 3/4 of an inch square, so using 3/4 inch tiles is important part of this project.]</span></span></span></span></span></p><p>

<br />
<br />
<div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now that the Pandemic is over a year old, I decided to review and document my last year or so, my personal 2020 and 2021. This unique
time period will become a memory, but as current events
become common place, the memory of the start, the middle, and the now of
the pandemic start to morph, merge, change and fade.</span></span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">(Note for readers: Please skip this post if you are looking for a typical creative post. This wordy post probably won't resonate or entertain. But I wanted to document my experiences of a strange time period, my personal slice of the Pandemic. Every person experienced this time differently, depending on age, location, profession, activities, family status, parenting school age children, college students, living alone, etc. If you are interested, read on, and I'd love a comment. If you have a Pandemic reflection post, please put the link(s) in the comment section, I find them interesting to read as well.)</span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">2020 Year start</span></b><br />
2020 started out full of promise - I was dreaming of a probable trip to Europe in the summer ("Europe 2020"). My youngest two children were a college Junior and a college Senior. One was graduating from college in May 2020 and his job hunt was underway. (Class of 2020! Family Party! New job for him, somewhere...) My daughter was finishing her junior year of college, looking forward to a summer internship she'd gotten. (I would help her move - and visit her, maybe around the 4th of July!)
<br />
<br />
My May 2019 college graduate had started a good job in May 2019 and in Nov 2019 moved into an apartment nearby. And my oldest son started a new second job in January 2020. (That was exciting as well!) There were going to be two fun weddings this summer (all my family invited) to plan fun vacations around.<br />
<br />After living in the same house for over 2 decades, with the same 4 children, things were beginning to change - and so 2020 would be a year of changes and adjustments. That part I got right.

<br />
My daughter and I attempted to learn and use Blender animation software over her winter break, and my oldest son started a new job (at CSH). Then
my two students went back to college, and I bought a newer refurbished
PC which would be able to run animation software better. That was
fairly fortunate considering the pending pandemic. Wildfires in <a href="https://www.climate.gov/news-features/event-tracker/catastrophic-wildfires-southeastern-australia-2019-20" target="_blank">Australia</a> were making the news.

<b><span style="color: red;">FEBRUARY 2020</span></b>
<br />
I traveled to St. Petersburg Florida
in February, exploring museums and more for several days. Other 2020 trips were in the works - A national quilt show in Kentucky, and
more. (Santa Fe, someday I'll visit...). I was in more art classes and special interest clubs than I ever. (Calligraphy, mosaics, print-making, photography, gardening, etc.) I made blogging and creative goals. And I was spreading out at home doing creative projects. (<a href="http://jeanneselep.blogspot.com/2020/01/encouraging-others-with-mixed-media.html" target="_blank">This post</a> shows an example)
<br />
<br />
I was looking forward to Easter and the kids March spring break, knowing
it would be one of the last "Spring breaks" - (my kids being nearly done
with college). Maybe we would travel? </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>In late February, things started to look worrisome - some virus
was causing problems, and the stock market started to dive (Feb 24,
2020)... I went to a Wisconsin winter quilt show on Feb 29, 2020.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">MARCH 2020</span></b>
<br />I went to the Chicago Botanic Garden (CBG) Orchid show on March 2, 2020 (<a href="https://jeanneselep.blogspot.com/2020/02/orchids-in-bloom.html" target="_blank">Orchid post</a>, <a href="https://jeanneselep.blogspot.com/2020/03/orchid-kaleidoscopes.html" target="_blank">2nd post here</a>); the Paine Museum's March 6 floral arrangement show, and participated in multiple classes a week (mosaics, printing, photography, etc.) On Tues March 10 I entered an artwork into a local art show.<br /><br /> But... the CBG closed the orchid show early, before March 14, before the cool weekend orchid show event I was planning on going to. The market continued to decline. I also was stocking up on household supplies, and increasingly aware of anyone coughing. Shortages were happening at grocery stores. <br /> <br /> On Saturday March 14, I attended a quilt show </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">in Waukesha</span></span></span></span> that few others attended. The show was beautifully laid out, but visitors were absent. People were worried. My various classes started being canceled. <br /> <br /> In a flash (March 16, 2020) both college students moved home. There was not much warning, and no time to plan. They brought the contents of two dorms into my garage, and fun and energy into my house, but we had to reconfigure without much planning, setting up two study spaces. Both my college junior and college senior then started virtual college at home. Miranda had class "Is Humanity Doomed?" and javascript class, among others. The library closed the day after I checked out a lot of library materials.<br /> <br />Relatives picking up my niece from NYU in New York city when her campus closed up came down with Covid, and I did some grocery shopping for them while they were sick for weeks, so this was no imagined illness.<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">APRIL 2020 - M, N, and T living at home</span></b>
<br />
I started using Visual Studio (on my newer PC) to create a Javascript artwork application, gathering painting photos from across the web. It absorbed my time. My daughter had a 21st birthday at our home, not the 21st birthday with college friends in Chicago. Easter - April 12, 2020 - I barely remember it (<a href="https://jeanneselep.blogspot.com/2020/04/easter-2020.html" target="_blank">Easter post</a>). Stores were closed, and my son applied for unemployment. We all learned to "Zoom". I had dreams of dying from Covid, going to the grocery store felt dangerous, and I thought I/we would get/could die of Covid. Some people felt going to the grocery store with another person was awful. <br /> <br /> I spent lots of time on the PC reading and obsessing over the news, and often in the evening binge watching TV became something we did. (<a href="https://jeanneselep.blogspot.com/2020/04/is-your-home-your-castle.html" target="_blank">Post here</a>).<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">MAY 2020 - M, N, and T living at home</span></b>
<br />I continued making my Javascript application. We started a "Covid" Garden in the front yard, basically two raised beds nick-named "New Deephelm" and "New Lowgarth" by the kids who helped create and plant them. I took spring photos where I could, but the Chicago Botanic and other gardens were closed. My son graduated from college without a ceremony or party and increased his job search in a pandemic. Again, I spent lots of time on the PC reading "news". On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed by police in Minnesota, but I became much more aware of that in June.

<br /> All of my kids college classes were over, and my daughter's Internship started. Gardening continued. The family living at home went camping in Pennisula state park. The two June weddings were postponed, and riots were happening in Minnesota and Madison, (and all over the country). This impacted my son's girl friend living in Madison Wisconsin near the riots. Reading and watching news on the internet again occupied more time than ever. The library started lending books (by request only) sometime around this time, which was nice.<br /> <br />Memes and other posts also reflected the times.

4th of July - I watched fireworks in Cedarburg. But that was it. No other July 4th activities. My sister-in-law got married, her post-poned wedding from June rescheduled to July. Remember how many thought the pandemic would wind down soon and normal life might resume quickly? It was becoming apparent that Covid might be around in fall impacting schooling. <span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">I worked on mosaics in a makeshift studio in the garage. </span></span>We had two separate house guests, O and C. We played Catan and made puzzles.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b>SEPTEMBER 2020 - M, N, and T living at home</b></span><br />My four children and I went to a wedding rescheduled from June. (We wore masks except for the picture). We went to the apple farm before Miranda moved back into her dorm. At her college all dorm rooms became "single" and she was tested for Covid once a week. Her college meals were to be eaten "carryout" in isolation, not in the beautiful eating spaces on campus, and she didn't have any in-person classes. Students were encouraged to have self selected "Pods" of about 5 people to interact with in person.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b>OCTOBER 2020 - N and T living at home</b></span><br />My mosaic classes started running again, and I was able to start some stained glass classes. There was a blitz of election reporting and news. I started doing altered book art on 3 books (garden, Paris, and miscellaneous.) I attended 2 classes in-person - one on Calligraphy and one on Copper Enamel. My church held two Sunday indoor services, and then a staff member got Covid and the church ended in-person services. My 2020 college grad started a good job at a medical lab, and my daughter got a job offer from her internship. <br />

</span></span>The elections were finally over - good bye junk mail and phone calls. I worked more
on altered book art, and had lasik surgery. I
started cataloging my books in the on-line library <a href="https://www.librarything.com" target="_blank">Library thing</a>. It encouraged me to organize books and more around the house. <br /> <br />Thanksgiving was "intimate" - a great home cooked meal with turkey (ordered fresh) and fixings for 4 people (JS, T, N, M). We had a extended family zoom chat on the same day. My Mosaic classes ended before Thanksgiving, and Miranda moved back home from college since she had had no classes in person and the experience was isolating. <span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<b><span style="color: red;">DECEMBER 2020 - M, N and T living at home</span></b><br />I cataloged more books into LibraryThing. Miranda finished up her 1st semester of college. I had no mosaic classes (and no other classes either). I went to several estate sales and resale shops, and bought 3 new pieces of (estate sale) furniture (dresser, bookcase, and a chair) that I then had to incorporate into the house. On the home repair front I got a new Garage door and new downspouts. I also got my piano tuned and windows cleaned. The window cleaner said in 30 years of work 2020 was the first time he washed windows in December. <span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></span>I wasted a lot of time playing games on my phone and playing the on-line game Dominion. Even though my kids were home, my tree was put up the latest ever, and other decorations were late. But I did make 8 batches of cookies! (I haven't made that many cookies in over 20 years.) (for the record - double batches of ginger snaps, peanut butter kisses, chocolate sandies, and cutout cookies!) I read a lot of travel books instead of decorating. <br /><br />We made a Christmas Beef Wellington for dinner, a very complicated recipe which actually turned out really well. Christmas was my immediate family, six people, with a extended family zoom chat after dinner.

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">A strange lethargy overtook me, wrecking my plans (or
resulting from no plans?). Cleaning the kitchen repeatedly, and the
rest of the house, from the college apartment aesthetic my children
leave it in, drains my creative energy that used to be encouraged by my
weekly mosaic and printing classes. Open studio time helps me, and that
no longer exists due to Covid. And yet I love having my adult children
here. </span></span></span></span><br /><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">I
had a goal of at least a post a month in 2020, and yet I didn't achieve
that. The July omission I understand, beautiful weather outside with
race riots around the country distracted from blogging. But I have no
real excuse for missing November and December. I started posts that
never happened. Grand ideas stayed in my head and in the draft post
stage, and didn't translate to actual implementation. <br /></span></span></span></span><br />

But who can say? </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">And
apparently 200,000 doses have been given to American adults, well ahead
of the most optimistic schedules, and now 25% of the adults in the USA
are fully vaccinated. This makes me hopeful for summer activities and
travel. I'm hoping for a fantastic 4th of July. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maybe even a graduation party for my college graduates? </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div>[By the way, the opening image of fire is from an EAA airshow war birds demonstration from 2013. he EAA is the Experimental Aircraft Association, an airplane museum here in Wisconsin. They have a huge summer airevent every year (when there isn't a pandemic), and they have an airshow day where old war airplanes fly by and pretend drop an occasional bomb, explosions triggered by experts safely for the audience. I always loved that I got some interesting photos from their carefully controlled explosions. Don't try this at home, people!]<br />
