I wished there were more hours in the day...

I have so many things going on...all at the same time...

that I sometimes wished there were more

hours in the day.

I don't feel this way often...just the last few days.

At times, even I don't think I realize

just how many things I have going on at once..

this is just a little 'clue'.

But...I do enjoy what I do...and I have to keep myself

busy...

I just need to learn to be careful about

what I take on...

sometimes I tend to bite off more than I can chew.

I've Been So Busy....

I've finally got 'almost' everything
packed and shipped.
Hopefully everything will reach it's destination before
Christmas!
My calendars should be on their way from the publishers and
I'll ship those out as soon as I get them.

I've ordered new canvas...so I can get started on some
new paintings for next year...whenever I can sneak some free time.

I haven't had a chance to visit my favorite blogs...so I'm hoping to sneak some
time as I can...and find out what you all are up to during the Holiday Season.
I still haven't had a chance to put up a few decorations
to make my home feel a little more 'festive'...
maybe I'll try to set aside a little time for that.
I think I'm feeling a little 'blue'...
my youngest son has always lived with me...
and he will be moving out the week before Christmas.
Not just out of the house...but out of the State!

I guess I'll deal with that when it actually happens.

A Busy Week-end

It's been a very busy week-end.

I finally got my canvas order in...so I started a couple of abstract paintings...

I had shipping to do..

still trying to follow up with folks that haven't

received their items...

(what can I say...the gal I used to contact with my delivery problems...

she's moved on..or something)

so the only way I can really resolve the issue

is to refund payment and/or reprint the order and send it again.

Then...I had a dozen checkbook covers that I had to

hand sew...finish and varnish.

I then measured and cut out the rest of my

canvas...and I'll be doing some journal covers this next week...

I might 'sneak' a couple new checkbook covers in as well.

(The picture above is one of the checkbook covers..varnish...wow...
I'm really impressed with how they are coming out!)

My hand looks really ugly...but it isn't burning as much now..

so I can, at least, use it once again.

Getting ready for the week-end!

Got a one day show this Saturday...

that means...

we'll be spending today doing last minute

finish ups...

Got to do a bunch of varnishing...

and need to pack and get all orders shipped later today.

Wow...this is going to be a

crazy..busy...day!!

Working on a commission painting.

This week I'll be rather
'scarce'...
I need to finish the
'creepy Snow White'
piece I'm working on...
I'm determined to get it out by the
week-end.

That means I'll be
'internet absent'.

I'm not sure if I'll take on
any new commission pieces until after
the first of the year.
With the holidays coming...the shows...
and
hopefully
a busier season online...
I may not have time.
