Progress



Although I have not been blogging I have been felting. Work has been epically insane.....I have just finished day 4 in a 6 day run..I'm not complaining but my feet may very well fall off!! I am going to crawl into bed with my wool..a little more then a month before my art show....I feel no panic what so ever in writing that (yup, my nose is growing!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!





O.k. not really x-mas, however when I get a package in the mail, I don't wait..nope I'm an instant gratification girl!!!!!! Regardless of date time ect.....package opening needs to happen!!!! I intended to wait to open my sister's package with her on the phone...she wasnt home...what's a girl to do? Instant package opening!!!!! Here are the pictures Jody!!! The bird in my hair I think is a bobily deceration, perhaps not intended for hair adornment, thinking outside the box can be kinda funny! The coolest fridge magnet EVER and soap that took me a minute to realize was not in fact a huge chunk of chocolate, very pleased that I realized before taking a large bite...x-mas mirical!!!!! I have also included the really pretty card my Aunt sent with nothing written on the inside.....what does that mean???!!! Much laughter over that one! Hugs and laughter...great big fat x-mas kisses for you Jody!!!!

waiting for my pizza dude!

I am (or was) sitting on my bed finishing the last bit of felting on the boy ferries. Because it is a custom order (yeh!) thair were some specific requests (for example a welding mask.....not a big deal and yet.....it is hard when my creative vision is dictated by someone else's vision. Something to keep in mind before saying yes to projects down the line. I am waiting for my pizza dude, and yes the girl called me by my name, and no the pizza place does not have caller I.D. I may need to examine my pizza habits!!!

Christmas market






HELLO!!!!!! Hi Jody! I have been epically busy...craft market, plans for Montreal, figuring out my finances.....I have been good though! O.k. in a moment of non photo planning I have very poorly taken pictures, however I will show you what I have with a New Years resolution to be more picture diligent. I don't have any photos of my craft table at the market, however in a moment of pure...I dont know what I have photos of what I saw standing behind my booth lol!!!!! I also have the 3 paintings that I finished in the 11th hour (2 of which sold!!!) I made $520 at the market!!!!!!!!!!! Feeling preety proud of myself! I have the remaining pictures hanging in the back room of the Redfish Grill (in Nelson) and have already sold 2 (they have been up for a day and a half!) The next big event is my art show at Oso (the hot spot coffee shop in town) O.k. lovely world sleep well!

night of the 8th

I have 5 possible paintings for Sat. I decided to rework some previous disasters, and low and behold....I am getting some interesting results....nothing finished which is slightly stressful, however.......I am going to stop painting for tonight and work on owls. I am always way more creative in the morning, which is great except the next 3 mornings I will be waitressing (creative serving!) I am a bit concerned that in order to get everything done I will have to do it at night....not my best hours! I seem to have misplaced my camera, so no pics. O.K. owls here I come!

dec. 8th

The power has gone out 3 times in the last 10 hours or so...no apparent reason..big blue sky! Welcome to the quirky power system of Nelson! I have 27 frames and a handful of owl pins for the craft fair this weekend...Central school 9:30 to 4:30 Nelson B.C. I am sort of in melt down mode....I promised some people that I would have some paintings for sale as well..big sigh. It is Tuesday morning right now..I work tomorrow, Thursday and Friday..craft fair is on Saturday...ginormous sigh! I need to work on procrastination I am very good at it and I need to practice how to be bad at it!!!!!! Coffee, painting cloths, music (if the power stays on) paint brushes and determination..here I come!
