Hi!!!!

I have but a moment befor my bus leaves sooo a quike one...I have been accepted at the Craft Connection and my pieces are hanging in the gallery as I type!!!! I have booked a table at the Yimer craft fair on the 12th of december....lots of work...yey for work!!!!!!
xo

cross your fingers please....

This was a spure of the moment, fly by the seat of my pants thing....The Craft Connection is THE spot in town for local artists, they do take %43 of the sale price...which is insane, however if you are an artist this is the store. They choose artists through a jury selection...rumour has it they can be brutal. Were am I going with all this? Well, I was walking by, when I decided to pop in and see when the next jury selection was...It was this past Sunday...laughing....however the woman I talked with was familiar with my work and asked me to bring 5 pieces into the store tomorrow........ to be juried..fingers crossed folks!!!!

And the horse goes gallaping along!!!

The horse is galloping, and I am holding on for dear life!!!!!!1 I have booked a table at the Central school craft fair on December 18th (mmmm might be the 19th...I have it written down) I also have another plan in motion...when (if) it lands I will tell all!!! In the meantime....I have been working on my A B C picture...did you know that finding an animal with distinctive ears starting with the letter A is not nearly as easy as one (meaning me) would imagin?!? It isnt done, however here is an in progress picture. I have been making owl pins,which brings me to this.....a lovely woman who bought an owl pin last year told me her freinds have been requesting her to felt them owls...so she is.....she assured me she wasnt selling them.....I am unsure how I feel about that.....whats that saying???? Something about imitation being a compliment.....She was very sweet and excited to tell me and I am not upset...just a little, well not as excited as she was.....and the horse goes galloping along......

mmmmmmmmmm

Waldorf school is full and well, not very friendly......oh my!

Mom's

Mom's get up early.....6:30 wake-up, 6:33 wake up kid's.....everybody shower..make everyone breakfast..make lunch, teeth brushing, hair brushing, jacket finding, feed the animals, put in laundry, walk to scool...all before coffee....and with happy smiling face....being Mom for a week has been fun, and not being a Mom will be fun as well...in case anyone is wondering kids can survive on peanut butter and banana sandwhich's just fine!!!!!!!!! I am trying to book a table at the Waldorf school for x-mas...I have also gotten a request for some custom farries....am back on the "horse"!!!! The real Mom and Dad arrive home tomorrow afternoon.....then back to my valley home. I have been asking around and the Valley is indeed the "black hole" of tecnolagy....makes me laugh a bit! Alright blogging land, I am off to the elementry school to watch the rememberence day assembly!!!!!
xo

Back to square one....

I got a responce from the store I was hopeing to have an art show at....nope. Not a horrible "No" however it is a No. The woman suggested we stay in contact and would be interested is seeing new pieces as they are made.....maybe she was being nice to soften the "No"...laughing, but I intend on keeping her in the felt loop...a good connection, an honest responce from a sucsessful bussiness woman...a good thing. Off to drown her honesty in coffee and then jump back into "owl" land.......if one only encounters sucsess how can one grow stronger?

Monday.......

I find myself at the Mall....yicky, however I wanted bananas and felt like a bit of a walk and found myself here...coffee at the Mall Internet cafe, and if one finds yourself at an Internet cafe why not dive in 100% and do some blogging!!!! Grandma Sandy has popped in to hang with the kids so I find myself free for a bit. Missing my home and felted craft land....I have made a handful of owls and will attach pin backs to them this week.....It is cold in Nelson and for the first time it truly feels like winter is coming...I feel displeased with that and as often happens this time of year questioning my decision to live in a country were snow and cold happens for a good chunk on the year......how can anybody effectively function when it is sooooooooo "unsunny" (Kim word!) The stomach flu is making its rounds through the schools and my goal is to surrvive my child caring responsibilities without anyone (including myself) throwing up.....fingers eyes and toes crossed!!! My internet time is almost over...back into the cold for the treck "home"
xox

computer meltdown and tears....

I am not a big crier....there are exceptions, this being one of them...explenation.....I am trying (the trying began at 8a.m.) to send an e-mail and pictures to try and book an art show for the spring, and it will NOT work....computer malfunction..every frickin time..I have tried to send this e-mail at least a dozen times....which means rewriting it EVERY time!!!!!! I am frustrated, I am irritated,..........update...16 year old to the rescue!!!! Sweet wonderful deer computer literate Kashya (age 16) arrived home from school and rescued me from sever over the top meltdown.....yup I am the adult in this situation........xo

Hello sweet internet!!

Hello my darling Internet world!!!!! I am logged into tec world...hello! I will be here (Nelson) until the 11th of November. I am looking after my friends children while they go on a well deserved vacation. I am now Momma Kim to a 16 and 7 year old!!!! It turns out the Valley is the black hole to all things "teacy" no Internet and a wonky phone has made communicating with the outside world frustrating.....despite that and the fact that my new home is quite literally situated in the middle of no place I do like it. I am creating, I am thankful for my little studio home, with the furbies and wilderness outside my back door.....I am lucky. More to come in the next week but here some photos.....the bus stop...bus story's to come....art in progress and the all done wall(s)
