my art space

I took a 1/2 day off work today to go to my first trimester ultrasound (I'll write a post on that later, but everything looks good, we still have a heartbeat!) but I ended up 'working from home' in the morning so I had basically the whole day at home.  It was so nice.  Except for when I was freaking out and crying and begging my baby to "please still be alive."

But the point is I had some time to sit down in my new "art space."  It's really just a folding table in my basement but I like it.  It feels like I place I can go to intentionally grieve. 

 I've been saving all those dumb baby and parenting magazines that just keep showing up in my mailbox.  I used to love scrapbooking so I had an idea that I could make some kind of grief/dead baby scrapbook.  That hasn't happened yet, but this is what I came up with today.  It's so simple and not "good art" but you know what, it made me feel better while I was making it!
