Yup, I'm fighting off a hearty case of bronchitis. Perhaps I should apply to Sheepish Annie for a more colorful name. Something evocative of the heaving coughs that bring up ooey, gooey green slime and the enervating fatigue that is sapping every impulse for movement out of me.
The only silver lining in this noxious cloud is extra knitting time. Stealth One is done, except for some finishing details (trip to fabric store required) and Stealth Pas De Deux Part 1 has turned the corner (or heel) and is progressing up the calf rapidly. I even resurrected Ribbon Cardigan and have added a few inches of progress to the fronts. Not enough to be photo worthy but it is progress, nonetheless.
As photo fodder, here are some color study pictures created from my flower photos. Inspired by January One, I started playing in Photosuite, with the idea of using the photos if I ever decide to begin dying my own yarn. The first is an altered photo of Ajuga in bloom and the second is of the Hydrangea. Cool, huh!
I don't know what to do with them, yet, but they are there for inspiration whenever I heal and get some gumption back. And I am in desperate need of some gumption right now . . .
Or Nyquil . . .

I pretty much just steal the names of other diseases and blithely use them for my own illnesses. Shameless, really...
I've seen others use the pixelated photography for color inspiration (dyeing, quilting etc...). It is such a great idea! You never really see the color until you take away the focal points.
Leah thinks the pixelated photos are supercool. Feel better soon, friend!
Comment #2: I forgot two things! First, please get well soon!!! Rest up and don't let your version of the Monkey Pox get the better of you. It is a lengthy recovery!
Secondly, I posted this afternoon about Mommy Sheep's need for some beginning quilter's resources and I just realized that you are a very talented quilter! If this is an imposition, please don't feel obligated in any way. But, if you know of any good books or websites that I can pass on to Mom, I'd be in your debt. She's a pretty good mom and all... I'm at Ann_Duntley6@msn.com if you are comfortable sending an email to a stranger who is begging for quilting help. Thanks!
