Today is my Birthday

Today is my birthday and I decided yesterday that I was going to give myself a present. I told my husband last night that I was doing no cooking today. He usually takes me out or cooks but I wanted him to have notice, just in case.

Besides no cooking, and the best part of my present was to spend the day in my studio. I have been struggling with a project that I have been working on, one that is due in July or early August. I am trying to reproduce the tree stump seen in this photograph.
