I am in mourning for our country and democracy but will not bore you with my angst. I will try to keep this space positive. It will be a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pulled out my bin of tattooed men parts, right after I cleaned up the tiny world mess- and it was a huge mess. And then several things happened to distract me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, 2 of my kids came over and we rearranged my studio. Now that I’ve been working a while, I knew it wasn’t the best layout. Here are some new photos-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rearranging everything untied my organizational knot. I got a lot of things stored away and am feeling much better about my space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next distraction was that I discovered that my houseplants had thrips<\/a>. If you are a plant-nutter like me, you will understand my anguish. I spent many, many, hours dealing with that mess. Some plants didn’t survive :-( Now I am keeping an eagle-eye on my house jungle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was doing some doll work through this all- just very slowly. Next up was cleaning up my garden and bringing plants inside (without new bugs I hope!). That’s when I decided that I needed to put up a window plant shelf. That involved actually painting the windows which I had been procrastinating about. Here is where I am at with that project-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m getting there. I really had to do this now because the weather is cool but not freezing yet. I can still open the windows, but in the summer it would have been too hot. So the studio is still a messy project but progress is being made. And I finished a tattooed man!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know what this imagery is actually called- it is skeleton Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So hopefully, more will be coming soon. Take care of yourself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
