Two New Frames
.
Sunday was all about assembly. I put together these two 5" x 5" framed pieces for Mom to give as gifts to her cleaning ladies. I wasn't sure about that purple one at first but Mom loved it and now that I see it again today to post it, I like it too.
My customer came over at 10:00 yesterday morning to discuss some custom pieces. One is a 12" x 12" framed piece she's buying for herself so I can do that one in January (along with another one that size I took an order for at the museum show). I have a few cards and a 5" x 5" framed piece to make for her for Christmas though. She's deaf but she speaks and I wrote stuff down. She's very nice - and placed a nice order.
Then I put together 12 Sticky Notes in reds & greens. I called the customer who ordered those at the museum show and she changed her mind. Not to worry, I used them for the wholesale order that I shipped on my way to work this morning. That order is for 20 so I put together 8 more.
I have other orders to finish before Christmas but I feel a whole lot better about things today than I did yesterday morning. I worked from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, taking meal breaks. I still haven't read the Sunday paper. Or grocery shopped. God bless PB & J.
I'd heard from another vendor at the School 46 craft show about a craft show at the new artist lofts downtown, Station 55, but I couldn't find anything in the paper about it. I was going to go down anyway just to see - and half-hoping I could get a look at the lofts. I'd read about the lofts in the Sunday paper a few weeks ago and said to Steve, "If I had a different life right now, I would live there in a heartbeat!" I said that to a couple of other vendors recently and they all agreed. Seems really cool - and affordable from what the newspaper article said.
There are 17 lofts with artist retail space below on the first floor. I don't know how that part will work and even that part isn't where I am at as an artist career-wise at the moment but I still want to see it. Anyway, I decided not to go yesterday because I really needed the time to work on orders. Then, I found the Station 55 website, which sort of satisfied my curiosity about the lofts. I could SO live there! Modern, uncluttered, lots of space, giant windows. The part about "modern Ikea furnishings" certainly didn't hurt.
Don't get me wrong, my life is really good.

All this time I thought your framed pieces were a lot bigger. Man that has to be a job making them that size. I'd need a magnifying glass.
crappy blogger is opening two comment boxes still. And now making us anon. Has anyone of you asked blogger about this?
Hmmm, your comment box HAS changed. We used to be able to sign in as "other." Now you have to be a blogger member... Anyway, I'm glad your life is good, but please take time for yourself!
Try the comments now. The settings were correct, to let anyone comment. I see now the choices are Blogger member, anonymous and nickname. Maybe that's all Blogger offers now - no more Other? Will research further...
