Exploding Head Tuesday

Wow, can you say 92 degrees on September 14th. The weekend was so fabulous that I really did get suckered into thinking fall was really in the air to stay. I wish the nastiness that I picked up from the office would leave my system for good-lingering head cold or just a respiratory infection that has taken up residence? Working on food donations for the "Holly Day" Bazaar. I have a really high bar to reach as the food last year for the artists and vendors is very fondly remembered-no pressure! Breakfast, lunch and snacks-oh my...

On a more traditional note, cleaning up and re-arranging furniture in my studio, yet again. I am in need of more blank wall space, so the re-purposed china cabinet is going back to its original job of storing dishes and the forlorn Hoosier bottom is going to become new flat surface to work on (minus the top). I am sure that is an arrangement that will last a month or two. LOL!

Time Really Does Fly!!

Its official, I have finished school and all of the loose ends have been tied up neatly and put into storage until I apply for grad school in the fall. So, for a little catching up about what I have been doing...making jewelry (who knew) and collecting fabric treasures that I then turn into custom couture pieces. Upcycled and recycled!

This is a wool and silk handbag that I made as a fund raiser for Holly's House, (here in Evansville). I will be selling the bags all year on line and at the second annual "Holly Days" event this fall.

I have been trudging my way through getting a website and the ability to accept credit cards (they call it "virtual merchant")-that has been a job in and of itself. I am not helped by the fact that while I am amazed at all the technology available to us, I am not any good at deciphering how to get from point "a" to point "b". Patience is required, also something I fall a bit short on.

I have been working on Yoga Teacher training via The Yoga Center. Training is not for the faint of heart, but well worth all that I have learned and the new freinds I have made. I have even been inspired to not only buy running shoes but to actually wear them for their intended purpose (thank you Susan).

PS... I am so excited about catching up with you!
