trial and error

I’m still struggling to finish my projects but I did make some progress on my puppet this weekend. She probably won’t get clothes till the summer if I keep working at this pace! She’s not done and she’s far from perfect but it’s still satisfying to keep plugging away until the raw materials start to resemble the vision in your mind. It helped that I’ve had a few days with no migraines and started physical therapy last week; my leg still hurts but hopefully it will start to improve over time. I’m walking less and reading more—lots of witchy novels about women reclaiming their power. Fitting for the times we live in…I’ll be gathering to celebrate Black women at the Chicago History Museum on May 21st; you can register for a free ticket here. Being in Las Vegas last weekend for the Henderson Reads Book Festival got me ready for warmer weather and that’s what’s heading our way here in Chicago. Today I learned that I didn’t get one of the two grants I applied for; will wait to hear about the second and then make plans for the summer. Gotta keep moving forward…
