The past days...

Sunday-We had a party at the house for Bunny's Birthday. I was overwhelmed by all the people and noise but had fun. Played and bonded with Kimmy's baby too which was lovely. The kid is Huge at 6 months. Biggest chewable thighs EVer. Goodnatured,Happy baby.:)
We smashed our faces into soft cool pillows and laughed.Love.

Monday- working at the shop.Daydreamin colors and fabrics and yarns...

Tuesday- blew by in nonproductive manic stress mode...but the Dinner party at a friend's house in the eve turned out to be really enjoyable. Good conversations with former almost strangers about abstract and conceptual art and time and life.

Wednesday- Productive, errands with B....then FINALLY
Working in the studio, listening to Cibo Matto....painting on a 2foot piece that is based on Candyland and internal organs....:)Priming a large tondo that will be a tabletop piece...adding glitter to '@ the Lake'.
Feeling good, seeing progress, not wanting to stop.

ThursDay- working at the knit shop...painfully slow day...because I so wanted to be back in the studio.
I'm so excited about Scope Miami...nervous as heck,and totally behind on everything... but really excited.

Researched charitable projects...and decided to donate
10% of latest paycheck to Osu Children's Library Fund through World Library Partnership (worldlibraries.org. It's refreshing to finally see a gorgeous full-sized structure proposed, instead of the normal makeshift libraries that are still so underfunded. I hope they can pull it off. As usual, donate if you can.

Someone contacted me out of the blue about buying one of my baby artworks, so that's wonderful and helpful! He works for a publishing Company so offered to throw in a book or two into the deal. Sweet. Out of the catalog I'm thinking of Rainer Maria Rilke's Poems from the Book of Hours...and/or some Chinese Poetry (by Tu Fu)..None of my wishlist books are on there unfortunately...but I think I'll be happy with some new poetry instead.
TOnight Pony came over and we ate Mexican food and yapped. Then she films me and B talking bout how we met.Wonder where that'll end up.;)
Now I'm on coffee but should be sleeping so I can cram as much art-time as possible into my day tomorrow.
Night night my lovelies.:)

oddly enough I recieved my lego magazine yesterday and there was a coupon for 10%off for 15.00 or more purchase at the new stores and Lake Grove, NY was one of them. Though I can't seem to find any info on it.

with almonds?

the strawberry one is strange, dehydrated fruit is such an odd sensation in the mouth.

I've seen that portrait maker before...I just think your 'toilet works' and deadpan expression and thumbs up is hysterical.

Plain honey bunches of oats for now. Though I do like the peach and/or strawberry stuff every once in a while for kicks. Dehydrated fruit IS strange. It soaks up the saliva on your tongue. Needs to sit in the milk a bit. Now I'm hungry.

I'll check into the mall thing.It's a doable distance.
