A Design a Day – Day 184

I’m a bit bleary-eyed

after a week of playing opera performances, a runout concert and a youth program.

My husband and a vodka tonic are calling.

A Design a Day – Day 180

I got a hand-written congratulations note

from my state representative

(on a design award I won earlier this year)

who also thanked me for bringing beauty into this world.
