well hi there!

So it's been awhile- what can I say--- Snowed IN- Flooded OUT- Holidays- 40th Birthday- woo hoo! I had to write to share this wonderful article to whoever is lovely enough to still keep up with my blog. "How to Procrastinate Like Leonardo Da Vinci" I can't seem to link to it, so go to this link- Arts & Letters then go down to where it says "Leonardo da Vinci, maybe a little like you, was a hopeless procrastinator...." then read the rest of the article- you'll like it- I promise.... For your viewing pleasure---Here is a new pattern that I made- some little suns- I was trying to make a little bag that would fit credit cards, but it's just the tiniest bit too small, so it just holds change... I'll try again later. Block printing with fabric ink on hemp/cotton canvas Also- I am going to a workshop this weekend on Licensing for artists and such- it's in SF- if you also want to attend the information can be found here I think it should be just what I'm looking for- info on doing Surtex (she has done the Surtex show in NY many times)- and also the who and what of licensing images. I'll report back on how it goes. In the meantime- read the article it's REALLY great!

Greatly Missed!

We were in Portland last weekend and had our car broken into (not the Volvo- the toyota pickup- maybe easy to break into??). They took the stereo- no big loss really- and is there really a market for that? But these are the things I will miss and have not quite gotten over being stolen (the bastards can rot in hell!- in the nicest possible way of course-haha)

beach at night

Ted was here, so we took him of course to the Pelican Brewery on the beach- we just had to look at the waves at night- beautiful!

i'm back...

okay- well I've been here, but not online. For Valentine's Day R and I went to Breitenbush Hotsprings about an hour and a half east of here- Sitting in hot tubs while the cool rain comes down, ideal! Lots of tubs by a raging creek, vegetarian meals (means not having to ask if the stock used in the soup is a meat stock, or asking for no bacon on your green salad!). There is also a great steamy sauna house, and if you choose you can stay overnight in their little cabins in the woods (we didn't stay). They have this awesome round cob building with neat rounded windows in it. just beautiful.
