Sunday ****

It's hard to believe it's the middle of August. Time from now on seems to snowball through to the Holidays.

This past week at the day job was very busy. That means by the time I come home I'm wiped. That being said I'm still on target to finish 10 projects by the end of the month. I do need to figure out this balance thing I keep hearing about. I have to still care about the day job but not be so stressed that I can't accomplish my art when I get home. This leaves only weekends to accomplish things and that's just not enough time.

My goal this week - stay on track, work a little each night and take a break over the weekend.

Trying a new paper mache material , should speed up my process. I'll note if I like it. CelluClay by Activa was recommended by one of my fellow flyers. thanks! Mindy.

Well - it's back to work.

Tomorrow --- Happy Monday.

Sunday ****

I have Eggplant!!! How exciting, my first time. Next summer I hope to have raised beds , but this year I am planting in window boxes and if I get a harvest, small as it may be , at least I can say I'm gardening.

On the creative front...
Today has been the most productive of the weekend. I'm really very excited I finally figured out a process that will eliminate the use of styrofoam cones in my holiday pieces. Besides being very costly to use they are not at all Eco friendly. I'll be posting pictures as I go along. So far I'm pleased with the results. Hope your having a great Sunday.

Today should have been a work day ******

I really had every intention of getting up today and going straight to my workroom. But after the HOT summer we have all had so far; a cool beautiful breeze was calling me. I love how some of the flowers look this year and included a few pictures.I'm still working on perfecting my pictures and have been playing around with the photo editor in Picasa. Really fun. I'm not very good , but practice makes perfect.

I promise to get started with projects tomorrow. Sometimes making art is more a mind set than anything else. I'm working on Christmas at the moment and have to be in the right mood. The intense heat of the last few weeks was not helping that happen.

Tomorrow will be another beautiful day so will it be snowmen or christmas tree's, not sure. Tune in tomorrow and find out!
