I’m doing a show! Saturday, October 19 I’ll be in Waldens Ridge Gallery, LLC on Highway 62 in Oliver Springs TN as a part of the October Sky Festival. I’ve been busily making pumpkins and a mushroom. I’ll make more mushrooms before Saturday.
I swore off shows for awhile, but this one is different. I get to stay inside a building. I’ve been in too many outdoor shows where everything blows away, including the tent, or everything gets flooded and/or washed away, or the heat and sun are so bad that my fair skin and heat intolerance are unbearable. This time I will get to stay inside with climate control and no possibility of sunburn here. I will also be with good friends. That makes a big difference too. It should be fun even if I sell nothing. I hope I sell something though. Even one of these little gift/business card cases.
I’ll have hats, key fobs, card cases, purses, jewelry, wallets and other things. It’s been awhile since I set up my displays. Hope I can find all my things.
I’ve been making some business/gift card cases from cork fabric–something new for me. A customer ordered two for teenage boys in masculine fabric and I thought of cork. I think they would be great for males or females. I really like cork fabric. It’s soft and supple, but sturdy. I lined them with some plaid fabric scraps from a men’s shirt that I found at a thrift shop and used for one of my granddaughter’s dresses when she was much younger.
Musing is one of my favorite things. I come up with some strange thoughts sometimes, but other times I get realizations that are, to me anyway, basic truths. Here are some.
- I’m always taller when I leave the chiropractor’s office.
- There is really nothing better than a terry washcloth to clean and exfoliate.
- Every time I have a week with no appointments or meetings, something happens to take most of the week away from me.
See what I mean. I ramble and one thing leads to another and another and another. I love trying to figure out how words came to be. Anyone else do this? Do you love speculating? It that part of being creative? It seems to be with me.
If you’re a star-gazer like me, the Orionid meteor shower will peak on Monday and Tuesday, October 21-22. Watch for falling stars!
