Having given in to my night-owl-ish-ness, my bedtimes many nights flutter around 1:30 or 2 AM, and my rising (for the second time, having had to get up and give Maddie her food and injection around 7) moves to 11:30 AM or Noon. My biggest energy push comes around 8 PM, meaning when I hit pause in whatever I'm doing, it's almost always after Midnight. And that's why I haven't posted in a few days: if I'm up into the next day, writing about the previous day seems disingenuous
I've been collaging, mostly bookmarks. I have had an awakening with regard to myself and this chosen art form. I don't like to cover stuff up. If I've cut something out or saved something to use potentially, it's because I like it. Covering it up seems such a waste. This, as you can imagine, is not a helpful trait for someone trying to create collages. As Big Sister Twinnie reminds me: layer, layer, layer.
Knitting-wise, I've begun a Wingspan. It's my third or fourth one, I think. An easy knit, but with striking results. Making it with Willow Yarns Everest in Clematis:
We all know how often yarns don't photograph well. This is actually much, much pinker than is showing here, and it continues my run with purples this year.

My husband is a night owl, too. This was a problem when he was a public health nurse and a school nurse, where the workday runs from 8 to 4:30. But he worked in-patient child/adolescent psych night shifts for a number of years, and that worked well for him. In retirement, he gets up ~6 or 7 to give the dogs their meds and let them out, then goes back to bed for many hours.
Layer, layer, layer, layer. Trust me.
Oh you should hang out with Tim - he's a night owl too. But then he gets up and goes to work early, so ...
Can't wait to see your wingspan!
