Am I Boring You Too?

It seems to be in the air. Probably because I have so little interesting to yak about lately.

Yesterday Beverly the North came by the studio and it was great to see her again. This year it seems I am surrounding myself with people with Positive Energy and Beverly is sure one of them. It's a nice counterpoint to my cynicism and the dark cloud shroud I wrap myself up in. We hope to start up our little visits to each other to keep a very informal critique going. I was so embarrassed to have to ask her but I got up enough nerve finally: I cannot ever remember how to get my damn sewing machine to hide itself under the table! Talk about a slow-study! She showed me once last year after I had spent a day lying on my back under the table with screw drivers and pliers trying to figure it out! The year before that I had visited the shop where I bought it and she also showed me. You do it with one friggin' finger, just give it a slight push down and it slides right into place. But NOOooOOoooo- it's apparently too much for my poor brain to absorb that something can be EASY! So BEverly extended her index finger and gave it a slight nudge and down it went. And it's staying there until I can't remember how to get it back up again should I ever decide to sew! And that's getting unlikely.

All in all it was also a successful day in the wax pot. I finished three more pieces and I'm sticking them on my design wall as I complete them- here it is so far:
Sorry it's off kilter, but I stuck them up at the top of the 8' panel and when I took the picture I was ay doen below it. I ran out of boards or I could have continued a bit further, but I do have a few if the images ready to go when I get some more. I'll hit the store today, but have my doubts about whether they have restocked since I wiped out the supply a few days ago. I have to take back the tackle box that was broken too.

Also, TA-DAH! I finally glued the last thing into the Sketchbook Project book and it's ready to hit the post office later today too. This is a big one off my brain, glad to get it moved out. If I ever do it again, I will know what not to do- mainly any experimentations. Everything I tried was a disaster this time and it's full of splotches and blobs. Oh well. It's done now and out of my life.

And I am off to make a new mess today!~ Yeaaaaaa!
