Some of you have mentioned enjoying the French (no words) Minescule videos, and Norma in particular enjoys the ladybugs. 

A swarm of Ladybugs is called a Loveliness, A Loveliness of Ladybugs. With a name like that, no wonder the Ladybug is believed to bring good luck, and when one spies one, is a reminder to count our blessings.

As mentioned recently in an earlier blog, I am on a marathon mission to sort, purge, find new location for the keepers, Containerize, or "basket-ize" the keepers. And, give, donate, sell or trash the un-keepable. That will include decades of artwork. When you remember the time spent etc, it is somewhat hard to dump the "masterpieces"?

I got a lot of moving stuff done Tuesday in my studio, but when I tried to get up Wednesday morning, my lower back was in revolt. I took 2 excedrin, and laid on an ice pack for 30 minutes. Then I took one more pill in a half-hour. Later, I took a shower and washed my hair, so I am feeling more human now. My studio is looking better, I haven't dusted in eons. Luckily when I was last at the $ store I bought this big 160 wipes ... best #1.25 spent, ever.

I think it did me good to see some progress? Even though I am probably on;y 40% or less done?

I wanted to move a little white, 5 drawer chest so I could get in to my large paper storage, I measured and it did measure okay to fit between the legs of the little white table. What I didn't measure was the height. In order to move it, I had to take out the five drawers, which were naturally packed full. So I was able to move the drawer-less cabinet, bit it was 1/2" too tall, so it wouldn't slide in as I had planned!! I think it took me a minute, but I realized it would fit under the table if I could lift the table and slide it in? I did, and it worked, but is probably what upset my back?

Amazing what can be accumulated in decades! Maybe more so if you are in art, or maybe even more so if your Mom taught you not to waste anything. Thank you for your patience, and please send me some if you have extra?
