Hey, I won something!

Look at that! I won a prize! My contribution was chosen for the ACA award which means that next winter, my art will be on the cover of the catalog- I got a call on Thursday to tell me that I’d won and it made my day, my week, maybe longer! There was an opening today where they made a presentation of prizes. They said very nice things about my piece and asked me if I had anything to say… which of course I didn’t- I froze- uhhhh.

And here are flowers that we were suppose to give to Eleanor. We were down in New York for Friday and Saturday.

Eleanor directed a play at school and this was performance time. It was fantastic! Sorry about the flowers though…

On another topic- I am so sick of my knitted blanket project. I am pushing to finish it because I have all these other things I want to work on but don’t want to start until it is done. One of those personal rules things.

    congrats!

    I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a picture of you before, but you look like your people!

    Do you really have a rule to finish everything you start? I have so many unfinished projects lying around it’s driving me crazy. The problem is, some of them are dolls I have no desire to finish, but I can’t get rid of them because they’re PEOPLE!
