Guiding word

I have been thinking about what my word for 2010 should be. A lot of pressure for 1 word as it must reflect some personal, spiritual, artistic changes I want to make in the next year.Passion has worked extremely well for 2009 and brought me back to a place I thought was in Neverland.I am leaning towards a word that will bring direction,focus,fun all out of my comfort zone of course since that is where ART happens......ideas????

People magnets

 

The key is to get people's attention and that generally means heart and purse. So....this is my take on it....These little message bracelets, perfect stocking stuffers, absolutly affordable ($6.00) gets them looking at my art and then I slowly entice them with the rest.(click on picture to see messages) Thoughts?

Such a favorite

 

Finished order for probably the most frequently requested piece I have ever done. Cleaning Studio today after doing yearly inventory of all finished pieces and checking all bits and pieces are tight and functional. Tomorrow planning to assemble display for Open House, will take pics.

Musings on shopping past

Black Friday brings to me nostalgic memories of a Boxing Day in Edmonton when I and my 2 favorite Art girls hit the stores by 6:00 am. Armed with coffee, cell phones and rolling suitcases we scattered and reconned, keeping all posted on deals and steals....Needing a moment to brush away a tear...........a time that was golden.

This is how I roll

I finished decorating the basement last Friday...remember the Organic Dude wanted to have a party. Pacing is the key when you are with in days of the expiration date on well worn shoulders. Capricorn that I am, I have a list and everything is calculated, completed and finally crossed off, very different thinking from OD, who advises just serve green smoothies, and cut up veggies with yummmm...coconut oil.So all is on track until OD arranges to have the door into the storage room fixed....then...the carpenter guy calls asking that the boxes be removed from the wall the door is on. If you know about OD's OCD you have now left the room screaming....then he goes to town, yelling, "the guy needs to come tomorrow".Last night I went to bed at 7:00 pm, packed with heat (heating pad) and mellow with drugs....yes I moved the boxes. I have a list damn it!

Back to the Myrle Mini Mart

Up at 5:30,organizing my jewlery for the Christmas Fair on Saturday. Dentist, light treatment and then to Myrles to continue the reorg. Christmas is 1 month away my pretties...start pacing your self.

Sunny and warm

Can you believe the day...sun shining...no need for a coat. Sitting outside this morning having coffee...life is good.
