A Watery Dilemma

I am having some difficult foot pain from Plantar Fasciitis. My doctor told me to quit walking so much and get in the water. Water, bathing suits, chlorine - yuk. We are still having wintery weather so the thought of putting on a bathing suit and getting in water is just not working for me.

My other watery dilemma is that we are leaving for Israel on May 9th and we won't be back until May 22. So given that I will have one week and a long holiday week-end with serious jet lag, I am thinking that I can not wait until the last minute, as is my usual behavior, to get the next challenge done.

So, my solution is to hop a plane to Hawaii for a few days which is the only place I have ever enjoyed getting in the water. I could get some water exercise, heal my foot and probably be inspired to do a really great water challenge.

Does anyone want to join me there? Too bad that we don't have one of the twelve living there, I could invite myself to hang out and I wouldn't even need to bring my sewing machine.

Ah, dreams of paradise.

I sort of have an idea for my piece. If you have checked my blog lately, you have seen that I am on the hunt for ceramic tiles for our bathroom renovation. I have finally selected the colors that will be fashioned into a linear mosaic. My idea is to have these in an off-set linear column in the shower with white tiles. The colors I have chosen are very watery and had me thinking about rain and rainbows. Imagine that, living in Portland and thinking about rain.

I hope to start work on this tomorrow. I'll keep you posted as to my progress.
