Thursday already?

I can hardly believe this week has gone by so quickly! On Wednesday morning, Angie came over and trimmed up my hair to hide some of the thinning that’s gotten even worse. I didn’t expect the medications to help immediately, but I sure didn’t expect it to continue to fall out at the rate it [...]

The constant battle for organization

I’ve been, as I often do, still trying to find the best way to keep my studio organized. I found that I really had a lot of wasted space in the studio and I need to clean some things out that I don’t use any longer, but to get to them, I needed to make [...]

Back in the studio

I’m pleased to say that I’m safely back in the studio after all the balance issues I had. It appears that last week’s solumedrol treatments have finally done their magic!
I spent much of this morning getting my things ready for the Watercolor Pencil Workshop with Cathy Johnson. Class starts tomorrow, and I couldn’t be [...]

My 40th

Today is my 40th birthday. I don’t know what 40 is supposed to feel like, but I don’t think I ever expected to feel so young at 40. Of course, many say that 50 is the new 30, so maybe I’m just hitting the new 20? I remember that upon turning 30, I felt different [...]

Feeling artistic

I’m feeling a lot more artistic today than I was last evening. I have spent the morning working on my projects for the mixed media for fabric class with Joggles. On this Thursday, my class will have its last session, so I wanted to try to get some work done on it before then.
But first [...]

Coming out of the fog

Well, dear readers, you have not heard hide nor hair of me for a week now. Why? Well, on Monday I ran several errands. And the problems started when I was getting ready to leave my favorite fabric spot, SAS Fabrics by the Pound for some trims and buttons, I started to have some issues [...]

Catching Up!

Well, it is already Wednesday. it is already June 5th, and I have not yet written since our anniversary celebration. We went to Eddie V’s in Scottsdale on Friday evening and it was lovely. I had, upon making the reservations,
I had told them that we were celebrating both our 15th anniversary and Dave’s birthday. They [...]

A good day

Yesterday, I had my IV treatment. Now, in the past, this has caused me to be flat on my back and nauseous for a couple of days afterwards. Yesterday, however, we tried something different. We slowed down the infusion time and Angie came to visit. Well, I’m excited to say that I was able [...]

Procrastination or organization?

As I mentioned in my last post, I received quite a bit of fabric from Angie. As a result, I needed to find space for it in the studio. Since I have been using more fabric it makes sense to add a whole section for it. This, of course, required moving some things that were [...]

Catching up

Whew! I bet you thought I had been eaten by my new easel… Well, no. Not at all. I actually have just been focused on art, continuing to clean out my junk that I don’t use, and busy with friends. Here’s the update:
On Friday, Angie and I went to the Thunderbird Art & Wine Festival, [...]
