busy times
That week flew by. And now a new one begins. Happy Mothers Day!
My tree peony bloomed- always a treat.
We’ve had some crazy weather in the few days since I took the photos- wild thunderstorm, torrential rain and now some very windy weather. The plant is looking a bit tussled today. The flowers rarely last more then a week so I appreciate them while I can.
On Friday night I went to the MassArt Senior Fashion Show: Current 2010. I was offered complimentary tickets (not sure how I got on that list!)- it is not something I would ordinarily think of going to. Well, it was so much fun! I have never been to anything like it- there was the runway, the models, the collections. I tried to find photos but there wasn’t much. I did find this one of my favorite dress of the evening. I hope I can go next year- it was a blast!
Saturday, doll club. We did needle felting. I will not be changing over to needle felting any time soon. Sorry about no pics- the photos I took were too awful to post.
And today. Working on- gladiator sandals.
Maybe too much fiddly work. Piled on the table are men in progress, paper pattern pieces, fabric marking tools, trims…
And the desk, looking cleaner then usual.
This coming week will focus on finishing those guys and then I’m off to Minneapolis on Thursday for J’s graduation. Life seems to have suddenly shifted to high speed.

I want to sleep in your studio and see what those dudes get up to at night.

When things are busy I like to think of that old adage: it’s better to wear out than rust out. Good that life shifts pace now and again. :)

Your dolls are so unique and creative. I am so envious of your studio!
