Why am I getting up at 1:00 AM?

I have been getting up at 1:00 AM

and working until 8:00 PM.

Why?

===

I have projects...that I can't wait to get to.

===

Besides meetings at work and getting

ready for our 25th anniversary sale

at Bunnies November 5th.

===

I am getting ready for the country living show

next week.

===

also

===

Since I won't be here for my sisters birthday,

and I did nothing for her last year,

I decided to decorate her office.

Here is an overall.

I printed in black and white

family pictures.

We had this great old ladder I used

to hang pictures on.

And wire racks

and bins to hold paperwork.

Here is a picture of her, I drew, using a cute

2nd grade picture of her.

School pictures I sewed to vintage playing cards and

framed. Took the corner tabs from an old

family album.

These are roses I dried and taped to her

window with old family pictures next to them.

This is a mobil of watercolor painted stars that I

hung from a wire vase I cut up...added a light.

A vintage irish linen tea towel made into a pillow.

On her windows I put these beagle ribbons.

A bunny doll in a vintage dress and roller skates.

A t shirt I found in my repurposed basket, I

did an image transfer of Bea, her beagle.

And the side panels are the sleeves of an old

flannel shirt.

I had collected beagle contest ribbons, a 1906 book, titled

"Suzanne". And the beagle t towel. Other than

that, everything was just laying around my studio.

Every time she went in her room,

there was something new.

Come see me!

Sam visit

We had a Sam weekend.

Updates

He can say...mama,dada, meow, all gone, uh-oh,

more, up,
roar like a dinosaur,
give hugs, (which

doesn't include arms)
shake his head yes and no.

He likes to organize the pantry,
sweep, empty drawers,

take his new boots off and on, a lot!
Put hats on, and off

Climb anything,
but new favorite is in and out of the high chair,

and play with the clasp...which he needs help with...we did

that at least a 100 times.
Still loves to chill and cuddle...

when he isn't running.

Loves to sweep and mop.

A walk to the park...we saw lots of ducks.

Likes to put on his own hats. This one he prefers over

his eyes...and walks around bumping into stuff.

Max got lots of hugs. Grampa 0.

Looking for inspiration

I have spent the last two weeks,

(in between bunny business)

organizing my studio.

Sometimes you just need

to dig through all those

boxes and bins and pull

out your treasures....

display them and wait for

the spark to appear.

The fuel I need to
spur some creativity.

I am getting ready for the

Country Living Show

In Atlanta

October 21-23

So here is my studio...

I moved my clothesline

and hung doll clothes.

I found hoops everywhere...

now all together.

These paper umbrellas are stuck in a

piece of floral foam.

Cute wooden boat off of Etsy,

with my instrument playing ants.

Old paper lanterns

Here is a bunny and some pom, poms in the works for the show.

Now...I need to get busy!

Roche Harbor on San Juan Island

We had a final adventure

at the end of Summer.

A weekend boat trip to Roche Harbor

on beautiful San Juan Island.

It was amazing.

I can't remember the last time

I did nothing but just stare at water...

have food served to me, hiked

and just enjoyed being in the moment.

Right here in my own backyard.

End of summer

It is the end of summer.

I have been so busy, and

not motivated to blog.

I hear this voice in my head that

says...I have nothing to say.

I have spent the last 2 weeks

organizing my studio. Trying

to get a sense of organization,

DE CLUTTERING.

Because my life has gotten

more complicated.

I have been dealing with work issues.

Getting ready for the country living shows.

Moving my daughter into my beach house.

And planning a party for my other daughter

moving to Anchorage. My son just got

home from 4 months in Alaska fishing.

Wanting to watch Sam

Hanging out with my guy.

Not to mention,

CHORES.

The list goes on and on....

Life

Family

Work

spirituality

health

...............

BALANCE

How do we fit it all in?

Do you know?

I sure don't.

This picture epitomizes summer.

I can't believe it's over, I don't think

it actually ever came. Not enough of it

anyway. I am not ready for fall,

for the year to be over.

Time is moving way to fast for me.

Sam...let's swim

We had a Sam weekend,

It was beautiful, so we

swam in the pool. Played

outside, went for a walk to

the park in his wagon.

He is changing so much.

He can do Animal Sounds

Roar, Meow...And mama,

Dada, Byeee, and a whole lot

of uhuhuhuhuhuhuh.

And when you try and take the

plug out, he bites it with his

teeth so you can't take it away.

He is way past walking...He is running!

Takin it to the street

My dude and I recently took a little

road trip. Down Hwy 101
Westport WA, to Cannon Beach Oregon...
Then to Portland.

We took the 63 VW....Safari windows open and
chillin on the highway. It was a blast.
I also wanted to experiment with a VW pop-up store.
Of course I am a pansy ass, law abiding wimp.
So I am nervous...I will get in trouble, I don't have
a permit..I'm going to get a ticket and on and on.

Well
We pull into Cannon Beach..The sun is shining,
people everywhere. We find an open spot
right in front of an ice cream shop on the main
drag. I set up... no one really notices...I'm nervous,
sweating. Finally a couple walks up, they buy 2
cards and 4 buttons. Then...I am outta here.
I did it, I made a sale....Let Vamoose.
My dude took this video with an iphone app
called 8mm.
Sorry no sound, a little to advanced for me right now.
