mmmm...i have a mug a Ginger Pear tea at my elbow and am trying not to just swig it down! so good! what an incredible weekend, workwise. art work-wise. i got all but 3 of my felted pieces mounted and ready for the show....the last 3 needed some burlap behind them, so i had to come home, cut it and i'll go back to the shop on wednesday. the new Gratitude blog is up and running, and my etsy shop all spiffed and ready for the shelves to fill! i have some pieces ready to go - just waiting on photos. and i haven't decided if i'll wait on the jewelry for a few weeks, and do t-shirts , or the other way around. it depends on my silk screening tonight, i guess! i worked at a semi-icky job for a while at a print shop that also did embroidery and silk screening. my plan was to get in and learn the embroidery machines and silk screening, but i left before that came about. the owner is an exemplary man, and it was an honor to work for someone with his work ethic. the only other good thing that came out of the job was meeting Perfect Princess Patti, whom i ADORE! what else can you say about someone that, when asked how she is, answers "perfect!" every time. every time. makes me smile. luckily she is so nice and of true heart & spirit, because she's so Barbie doll pretty, you'd want to knock her down otherwise! there is no one else i'd rather spend a day with playing with glue and glitter! she is tiara worthy. so i am wishing you a bountiful week full of great good things, and smiles, and giggles. and some awesome Ginger Pear tea!
