wrongeraServes me right for not checking for a while, but only now I discover that I can easily add background images to my journal. So I've done so. Purple ivy leaves on a black background. It's amazing what inverting colours can do, especially for plants. The greens turn into such amazing shades of purples, and I love how purple-on-black looks.
Haven't been doing much crafting lately. Knitting on and off on the Clapotis, which is starting to get a little bit boring but isn't quite long enough that I feel I can start on the decrease section and finally bind off. A lot of the crafting that I have been doing is more theoretical. Plans and mental designs and whatnot. Too much of what I want to do doesn't go beyond my mind. I ought to stop contemplating so much and just pick up the supplies and do what I want to do rather than just thinking about it so much.
I have, at least, been writing more. I'm doing a challenge on HubPages, trying to write 30 Hubs in 30 days. So far I'm on track. It's been good to try to write something every day, and to write down some things that I've been meaning to for a while now. So at least I've been productive in one area, if not another.
And now that summer's here, I want to do more passive things because of the heat. While I do love a good walk in the sun, I also enjoy a good stay-inside with a good book or video game. But I'm still trying to get out more, especially with my camera. Budding leaves and flowers make for some lovely pictures. Once I get some really good ones, I'll probably post a few here. This is a craft and art journal, after all, and good photography is as much an art as good drawing.
