T minus slightly less than 2 days....wheeeee!

X-posted from December 5:

Okay, so I was able to cross a few things off the list...not all things, but I'm pretty pleased with what I've been able to get done whilst also being Mama all week to an insane *ahem* angelic 3-year old...

It really was a little too ambitious, but I like it that way.

Here is what I worked on this morning:

Forgive the bad lighting in the studio, but here's what to look for in front of my table. I'm not done with it, and I'm not entirely sure it will dry by Sunday, but I'll put it by the wood stove (but not too close!) and hope for the best. I forgot how much fun oil pastels are. And hooray for canvas!

I'm about to tackle this:

This is how I need to protect my felt works in progress, as the boy likes to run squealing through the studio...really quite disastrous for pieces that are laid out but not already felted. These stools slide under a little table...back in the BC* days, we used to have dinner and tea on the low table in our tiny apartment. Sigh.

Well, tomorrow I will, weather permitting, get some sneak-preview photographs up...

( New List! )

Okay, felting now.
OMG, DAY AND A HALF!!!

*love*

my goats!
I do, I really do.

I mean, LOOK AT THEM:

Catchin' a snooze in the afternoon.
Sometimes I want to be a goat. The eat and they nap and they lick my hands. The simple life.

But, I do very much like to make things other than nanny berries. Here's some recent stuffs:


It will be nice to get back into the groove of the saturday farmer's market, and quietly prepare for BBB. I am making myself a promise to squirrel things away and build my inventory over the next couple of months, so's I can avoid the madness of my typical pre-show procrastination. Before Twist, I had rushed a very goofy kinda sloppy tablecloth, and I do not plan on using it again. In fact, I'm revamping the whole look of my website, logo, etc. I just don't feel like they represent me very well, and I want to tone it down a bit. I'll be making a nice banner on some muslin fabric to hang in front of some grey/blue batik tablecloths.

Blah, blah. Oh, and I made amazing banana-peanut butter-chocolate chip muffins this afternoon and completely spoiled my son's appetite for dinner. But we had fun and muffins with fresh chevre on top is a perfectly acceptable meal, right?
