Nothing today. My dog is sick and I am scared for him.

Hillside Inside - The Post Mortem Edition

Here are a couple cell shots my employee of the day (Karin) took during Hillside Inside.

As soon as I figure out how to recover the photos I accidentally deleted from my camera, I'll upload them as well.

In the meantime, the following are...

1) Liz (and Jon) of Peep Design.

2) Extreme close-up of my head, with Peep originals in the background...how did I leave without one of those necklaces?

3) Jon and I talking shop.

4) Window dressing my table.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for chit, chat, or purchase! Extra special thanks to everyone who had a hand in organizing/running/performing/volunteering with the show. It was a great way to spend a February afternoon and a much-needed reminder that winter will end and summer festivals will follow.

Home Again...

In the three years we've owned this house, I've moved my studio as many times. I started out in what was essentially a closet, slowly took over the master bedroom, then sidestepped into a smaller second floor bedroom.

We recently committed to the idea of carving the house up into three separate apartments (and having at least one finished by summer) and have undertaken the grand re-tooling of rooms and furniture so we (see: Sean) can begin renovating.

Since I need a space for my studio that isn't the damp basement and isn't a major thoroughfare for dogs and visitors, the only option is the front room aka the best room in the house - complete with massive windows and original fireplace. I still have to move a few things down, most notably the giant unit that shelves all my canvas, but behold the room mid-move! What lovely light!

I can't wait to have a separate entrance and a sign in the window announcing it as my studio! People can make appointments and browse my wares! I'll serve them tea and delicious cookies!

Party in the Park

Don't you want to kick back under a tree and play guitar with this on?

I thought so. You hippie.

Update - I am Crazy. Carry on.

How quickly the tides turn!

It is now I who eats writing for breakfast. A late afternoon breakfast of belief. Try to break that down writing!

I win. For now...

Boo-urns

Today is a less-than-stellar day. Wherein writing is chewing me up and spitting me out.

It's so bad that I ate crackers for lunch. This is the Seinfeld equivalent, for me, of wearing track pants out in public...which I also did today. For shame!

Oh man let's focus on the things I've finished instead, no?

Here are some nicer shots of the then half-finished straps I posted last week.
