The storm has essentially stopped. I snowshoed through the woods with the dog, Deezel The evening's winds had covered my tracks from yesterday. The snow is deep enough to reshape the familiar objects. The stonewall looks totally different.

I met a friend for breakfast, had my hair done, and went to my brother, Steve's house to mark Christmas. Adam had come home.
My entry for today falls under both requirements that it didn't need to be either great art or poetry, but a record. I used the appointment card from the hairdresser and listed the day's events with a calligraphy pen. This was the beginning of looking first at the day's ephemera to include in the collage. After the year of collaging, I have quite the stash of envelope linings, and even barcode patterns...
What is appealing about this project for its size and medium is that everyday events can be captured. As an art quilter, I didn't record a hair appointment in fabric.
