Since becoming a mother, I don't get the best sleep at night. I am constantly waking up at night thinking that I hear something, and I always listen carefully.  Sometimes I hear the hum of the heater, a random car honking, or the neighbors big fat corgi barking, or the gentle snoring of my own babes.  It's given me the ability to remember more of my dreams. Last night, still dreaming of birds are following me around, this time I had a compass and they were attracted to the compass in my hand. o il on paper The art (the best part) is part of my making art everyday project and this is day 226.  To read more about this awesome project click  here...
