Life + List

Life
1. Getting a new camera!!  A Rebel!  My first SLR – I am uber-excited!  Amazon is having a great deal on them.  If you’ve been thinking about a new SLR now is the time!
2. Katie and Will are both sick – Chris took Katie to the doctor today and she has a bad cold (we knew this) and an ear infection (poor baby!)
3. Artfest is getting close and life is getting super crazy – too much to do – but I’m not stressing (yet)
4. Chris is doing pretty good.  Knee surgery is scheduled for April 13
5. I have 11 resin and wire pieces done -and a few more in the works.  I have them all on my bulletin board above my computer and they make me happy!  I’ll try and take pics tomorrow.
6. Moo cards should be here any day!

Isn’t this little boy awesome? I wonder who he grew up to be.

I bought several glass negatives last week when I was up in Santa Fe with some friends. I’ve been making some very cool collages with them – and need to figure out what to do with them from there. This little boy is one of my faves.

It’s finally done!

I’m in serious trouble

I’ve never really browsed on Etsy before – I’ve looked at specific people’s stores – but no browsing.  I decided to today to look for stuff for my brother’s wedding.  Cool stuff – but no big deal – I’m not getting married  – so it’s easy t o resist that kind of stuff. Then I decided to search for “fiber”.  Dun…dun…duuuuuun.  OMG!  Such amazing stuff!!!!  I need to quit looking and do other stuff but I CAN’T!!  And I found someone who does color-coordinated  bundles of cool fibers!!  I used to buy similar stuff at a store here in ABQ – it’s actually how I started adding fiber to my work.  But the store closed and I’ve been reduced to buying weird stuff at Michael’s and occasionally scoring at yard sales.  But now – the fiber possibilities are endless!

I am dooooooooooomed!

Getting Ready


I have my “Trading” button made for Artfest. And I ordered my Moo cards also. Other task for tonight will be designing the labels to go on the backs of the ATCs I made to trade. Things are falling into place!
