Thank Goodness it's Monday!

On Friday, I got a call from the aforementioned gallery that turned me down. No, they didn't change their mind. It's actually better: They invited me to take part in a one day Arts Show. This will be my very first show, and I have been dutifully researching 10x10 outdoor festival tents like a mad woman. And if you happen to have one of those handy dandy tents to loan me, that would be gReAt!

So I have about 10 completed pieces, but that's not nearly enough for that full, inviting look you want for a sale. So I have been snipping away, making lists and morphing into my full-blown-work-mode, which is: me at the dining room table, (because my studio is simply covered in stuff),chips a-flyinig, setting multiple pieces, with Robb's computer in front of me, playing a looped version of The Best of Friends volumes 1-4. There may or may not be a glass of wine involved, but I find that I like my results so much better WITH (ha ha).

I try not to do this kind of work on Sundays. It's not that I'm legalistic, I just kind of think I do better work when I take a break sometimes. And what better day to take a break than Sunday?

Hubby caught the dreaded virus from the kids, and is still lying wrapped up in multiple blankets with a high fever, the chills and a sore throat. He came down with it about 2 minutes after lunch yesterday. Which left me sleeping on the couch because I don't have time for the flu!

So yeah, now it is Monday and I can get back to working....right after I wash the pile of dirty dishes in the sink, do the laundry, vacuum, and goad my children into cleaning their rooms.

And oh yeah...here's a sneak preview of what I have layed out, nothing glued or polished, of course:
