It has been a very busy summer

The summer went by very fast. Daily trips to the pool with my two girls (they just have to get that energy out), a trip to San Diego and then school started. And now deadlines loom and four pieces are screaming at me to finish them in order to meet those deadlines!

This past week was crazy. Sarah started school on Monday, then Tuesday night, Fiber Art Fusion met and 18 artists turned in their pieces for our upcoming show at The Art Place at Mountainview. Friday and Saturday I took a workshop taught by Pamela Allen at Fiber on a Whim and Friday night Fiber Art Fusion had a happy hour and lecture with Pamela Allen -- it was absolutely fabulous. I am inspired and anxious to make more work. Fiber on a Whim posted a few pictures on their blog.

I am always talking about the You Tube video called Mom my Ride. I mentioned it again this weekend when Pamela Allen had to carefully tuck her feet around the pile of school supplies on the floor of my van -- and the two passengers in the back seat had to sit on a sheet because the seats were covered with kid crumbs. I pride myself on a relatively neat car, but it happens to the best of us. For a good laugh, this video is worth a look.

And here are a few pictures to go with this post. Here is Sarah on her first day of school.
We went for a hair cut the weekend before school started. Sarah and Sophia both donated their hair to Locks of Love, an organization who provides hair pieces to disadvantaged children who have long term medical hair loss.

And here is lovely Sophia with her beloved Julian. "I'm going to marry Julian someday" says Sophia.


Now back to the studio.
