Snow snow snow! Everywhere! Fortunately, I don't have to shovel it, though in Vancouver we only have it around for a few days at at time, then it rains and it all goes away, so shovelling once or twice might be enjoyable. It does mean planning ahead though because driviing is that more dangerous.

Yes, I am multi-talented, but persistence is the key trait to any success, and too much of all of this came to the fore when I was in my late forties, so what could have led to a more enjoyable vocation never happened, so it's all hobbies and frivolity 😊. And very little of what I do is original, so I'm more a copyist than an artist. Which is just fine by me! Saves on the angst. No cut off ears here, or cries of "Nobody understands what I'm trying to do!!!"

I am with you on the pottery! I've never tried it and have never had the desire. My mother had a friend who ran an art gallery, and there was pottery galore of quite high quality and design. We had lots of it as I grew up and I have virtually none! Yay!

I do especially like working with fabrics, largely because of the ease of getting going. Setting up for a painting session means putting everything away immediately after (blame the cat, yet again!) which in turn means I often don't get started. I want to, though, and it's one of my quiet resolutions for this year!

I'm daydreaming here: the snow looks so beautiful on the cedars, and the birds are leaving tracks in the snow on my balcony. There are about 50 of them taking turns in the flower beds and feeders. The squirrels are all sleeping in, I guess. All the best to you, my new friend! What a lovely surprise for us both.
