This week, several of Cameron’s tasks involved more actual doing, as well as the regular tasks of lists and self-analysis (and of course the weekly artist date and daily morning pages).
Week Six: Task no. 4 Creation: Bake something. I’m not much of anything in the kitchen. Baking in particular. With its detailed measuring, specific instructions, and tricky vocabulary–baking has left me with undesirable results on more than one occasion. If yeast is involved, nope. Let’s not even waste each other’s time, Mr. Yeast.
With a recent kitchen addition of a classic Kitchen Aid mixer, I was inspired to attempt baking. At age 25, I made chocolate chip cookies. From scratch. All on my own. And they were good. So, good job, me!
art postcards to humans I love
Week Six: Task no. 5 Communication: Send postcards to five friends. As I mentioned in my post, Via Air Mail, I recently took part in an art postcard exchange. Since I just exchanged postcards with some of my good friends, I sent these to close friends who weren’t involved. It’s always fun and relaxing to create art postcards.
