Things I am loving at the moment......
1. This quote from an artist-- "I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.” — Vincent Van Gogh
3. Wearing red and pink which makes me feel energized and somehow fights off the cold weather!
4. Working on my granny squares....fun and scrappy crochet!
5. Listening to Reggae music which makes me feel I am in a warm tropical climate. [Many happy memories of our daughter's wedding in Jamaica!]
6. Resting and relaxing with a good book or movie. Getting enough sleep.
7.Being mindful of each moment (as much as possible, this takes practice!). Taking care of myself, emotionally and physically.
8. Tazo organic green tea. A favorite now!
9. Dark chocolate, of course!!!! [in small amounts, eaten slowly, melting rather than chewing]
10. Being involved in my community. (Not over-committed, but connected!)
Just finished today is this bear which I "created" for a local fund-raiser. We are given a "cookie cutter" teddy bear in either red, pink or white. We are to decorate it, dress it, make it "real". [I was rather not excited when I saw the flat red bear! Once I got started, he just sort of "grew". I think many of the dolls I make do the same thing...they "grow" themselves!] These are to be auctioned off at a soup supper February 28th.
The flat red cookie cutter bear has now become "Beartrand de la Mer", French sailor extraordinaire! He has a hand knit sweater and bell bottoms. His white beret has a black grosgrain band and a bright red pompom on top. In one hand he hold a miniature eiffel tower and his name tag has an antique picture of a mermaid, of course!
Now off to get some of that rest!

Wow....thank you so much for the link to the yoga video! I took a peek and added it to my favorites at YouTube and will use that one.
I like all the things that you're enjoying right now, and your little bear is so cute!
