It feels very good to be back into my regular routine.  Am I getting old?  I never used to love routines.  I guess I still don't love routines.  I love the time to explore and create as I choose.  My two installations are finished and the opening is tonight.  I am ever so pleased with the installations and myself!  This has been challenging for me and I definitely rose to the challenge.  I am excited to pursue more such challenges!  I am also excited to have a bit of downtime to pursue my regular stitching and journals.  Today I learned a new term, a commonplace book.  Turns out this has what I have been doing for years.  I thought I was a bit of a failed journaler but I am not alone. FromWikipedia   Commonplace books are a way to compile knowledge, usually by writing information into books. Such books are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables of weights and measures, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas.
