I will have photos of the latest bag, made special order for a special family member in her own personal favorite colors. But it is still damp and is being shaped with my high tech shaping equipment. (A 2 pound bag of pinto beans, and a big wad of plastic bags)
Writing Group tonight. I'm all prepared. We had to take our essay from last time and re-write it using another point of view. I had the dickens of a time with it too.
We were supposed to write in the immediate.... thusly: I walk to the door. I look out the window. I watch elephants eat my hydrangias.
I have never felt this kind of writing was at all "natural". I intend to hear a lively discussion about it.

See?
Elephants eating your hydrangias
Hope they don't get sick!
I agree. I don't like the present tense writing. Unless you're writing dialogue for a play, or somesuch like that.

Your morning begain innocently enough. You lit a vanilla candle for a little Aromatherapy to rid yourself of the chocolate craving that has plagued you for days. You would have tried the vanilla on a bandaid trick, but the candle was far more aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, vanilla did not do the trick and now you were hungry so you whipped up a pan of brownies for some much needed Chocolatetherapy.
While the brownies were baking you were feeling a bit restless so you engaged in a little Domestictherapy by tidying up the kitchen and perhaps a few other places. The brownies now being perfectly baked and ready to eat set the stage for a perfect afternoon to engage in some combined Chocolatetherapy and Physiotherapy so you sat down to finish the newest felted bag.
Once the newest creation was shaped and sat drying you realized you were still in need of a little more therapy to make it through the day so you ran a nice bubble bath so you could get in a Psychotherapy session with Dr. Rubber Ducky.
Relaxed and refreshed you headed out to your writing group confident that the elephants you were watching eat your hydrangias would soon move on the the neighbor's snowball bush and leave you in peace once again.
Am I close?

ps I think elephants eating hydrangias is the most natural thing in the world
