19th Century Hunks!

Wish I knew who the photographer was so I could give credit, but I got such a kick out of this!

Wishes

My wish was granted!
I didn't have to leave my new pad at ALL today! For any reason!!! Such bliss! Even Gorman our resident monster (made by fiber art queen Keely Benkey) seemed relaxed and happy.




















I puttered in my studio, made a new flag for our mailbox out of pieces of a stop sign. I'll post pics when I get it on the mailbox.
I mean who'd want to leave this??!

Amazing Dolls

These porcelain dolls by Marina Bychkova are truly amazing

The Summer of Moving

STILL moving.... it never ends. We moved the household, took about two weeks, and I had to maintain everything else during all that, like submitting to retreats, teaching private lessons, my part time job. Now I have painted my new work space and hung a few shelves and moved a few things that I could lift by myself. In the midst of it all, on the 31st of July, the head of Humanities emailed and said,"I know its short notice but the college is moving you out of E, four blocks away to the basement of A building. You'll have to pack up the metals studio for the move." So Meredith (bless her) helped me inventory and pack the whole CFCC metals studio for two days last week! Classes start next week! I have to go down there and UNpack on friday. So tonight its back to my studio, so I can finish packing and Robert and I can hopefully move the rest tomorrow.....sigh. To anyone who's wondered where I went, I'm still here just living in a sea of boxes.

So, I have liked this song for awhile, but not having TV now for years I never saw the video! My brother Joe has pestered me to see it and today he called and said ,"Tonight! write this down and watch it tonight! Trust me, you will love it!" Boy has he got me pegged...
