I did my first Artist's Date today...went to the Dollar Store and had a blast..Amoungst other things, I got a gourd, some fall leaves, some wooden beads and a small vine wreath to make a "turkey" with...He's actually pretty cute - a bit bizzare, but cute..(I would post a picture, but the camera is not here right now)...He needs a hat, so I have to hunt up something for a hat...I know I have some small straw hats somewhere in my project boxes!
I also got a spiral notebook for my 'morning pages' , some shelf paper with cheerful sunflowers and little bees on it to decorate the cover with, and new pencils...I love having new pencils...reminds me of the first day of school...So, I covered the notebook, covered a can for a pencil holder, put the pencils in the can, sat down and actually did my 'morning' pages! OWWIE!!! I have not done much longhand for years and I have a bum thumb joint on my right hand...Mr Arthur and Mr Itis come to visit it way too frequently...it does not bother me when I am drawing - I hold the pencil differently...but writing...golly gosh - thats a different story!
I guess I have resigned myself to actually trying to do the morning pages during the 12 weeks...at least my notebook is cute!

Good for you - sounds like you're off to a good start. I only started my morning pages this weekend -- and I guess my artist's date this week was my quilting weekend up north. Tomorrow I'm going to start some of the exercises in chapter 1 after my morning pages, I was really interested in some of them.

I think you found a great way to claim those morning pages and make them yours. Brava! Your turkey sounds pretty cool, too.
Love your Artist Date!
I knew exactly where you were going with your title---Resistance is Futile! It says it all, doesn't it?
At the Houston show, I saw a bumper sticker that said, "You Sew, Girl!" I had to snicker on that one!
But for you, today------
You Sew, Girl!!
My hand was sore after the first couple of days of the morning pages. But it is getting better.
