Sunday Potpourri

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

First, exercising my need for sympathy, I must let you know that I have one of those crappy viruses — sore throat, chest pain, coughing, snuffling. Mr C gave it to me. He keeps telling me how I am going to feel and what my symptoms will be each day. And, so far he is right.

Steph and Lili had a very successful opening of their show at Doe. Stephanie just about sold out and Lisa had great sales, too.

On Thursday and Friday, I picked up Mia and Miles from school. I have renewed respect for what Stephanie does every day. It pretty much eats up an afternoon. By the time everyone is home and has a snack, it is time to think about what to make for dinner.

I spent much of the week-end getting quilts and silk scarves ready for the Artist’s Among Us show and sale at the Cathedral next week-end. The deadline for turning in stuff was at 5 pm today. I walked in at 10 to 5. I was working in slow motion today. The quilts were from my inventory, but needed sleeves, labels and hanging devices. I forgot to take photos of the scarves that I did. I managed to get 6 done, one will go in the silent auction. Here are some hanging outside my studio, next to the mess that Mr C has made, building a fence.

And here is the fence masterpiece. That is the saw on the right. Mr C was happy to have Jack and M & M show up on Saturday afternoon. Jack ripped the fence pieces while Mr C used the power hammer to pound the nails.

I still have some bumper stickers left for the Virtual Peace Rally. Send me your snail mail on the contact form above and I will send you one. Then, you can e-mail me a photo which I will post on the Virtual End the War Rally on my Flickr site.
