Unproductive next day

I tried to get up early to go to the library to make a start on the essay.

Just didn't get there. Had a bath and fell asleep on my bed for another 2 hours, cuddled up with my dogs and cats. My hair was completely dry by the time I woke up.

I did get to the library, but that was a less than good experience. Not enough books, none of which were available, the only ones that were available weren't much use and two boys decided to have a LOUD conversation at the table next to me.

Went to the public library, which was mercifully quiet and borrowed a couple of books, both immensely useful, and came home.

I visited my sick friend, who feels like a fraud because she is feeling very well despite not being as mobile as she would like. Came home and finished the felted piece I started yesterday. What do you think? I'm quietly pleased with my first ever embellished piece.

And now off to bed again, after a small snack.

This is so well done. I can see the muscles, feel the flow of blood beneath the skin. You did an amazing job with this process.

lovely piece. You are working hard. No wonder you needed a nap like that. Hey, I thought the rule in libraries was, Quiet. hmmm.

I love the colors in this! It looks like a fun process, have you done this type of felting work before? It's great!!

Very creative and interesting. I really like it!!

I have never done any embellishing but it doesn't really look like it would be that easy. So you have done a great job keeping the lines and yet also perspective.

ACtually embellishing is really easy, kind of like colouring in! Getting the outlines done was a little tricky but well worth it.
