The morning of the show my Grandma and I sat in her living room painting our nails together.  We hadn’t done that since I was tiny.

Next up was the pizza party my Uncle put together for me.  Delicious food and wonderful people gathered at my other Grandma’s to hang out before my show. My niece and I stood at the bathroom mirror doing our make-up together and laughing before getting in the car. We rocked out all the way to Flavors Cafe and Wine Bar, music blaring and back windows rolled down (had to be careful with the hair.)

The next day. Yep, that’ s me. Glad the arrow cleared things up.

People who I hadn’t seen in 12 years showed up.

I talked about my work, learned some new information and now I have my first solo show under my belt. Not to mention a few articles.

This is about a quarter of the space. (Psst, that’s Blaine’s pottery on the table. It’s amazing)

There’s not much else to say. It was a great time and I am sure I will be working with Lynn and Flavors again in the future.

The day after the show Joe and his mom came down to see how everything was set up (and take photos.) They brought down their friend Blaine so he could finally deliver some of his work to Lynn. I have quite a few pieces from him and I love them all.

So…Yay for me!

These are the very first sketches for a children’s book I am working on. More details to come, I just wanted to show what I have been up to besides working at a bookstore and getting ready to move.

I am not the best sketcher, but I think by the time the book is finished I will be much improved. I am also not an illustrator, luckily the author wants what I do instead of illustrations.

Sorry for the very poor photo quality. I am having an issue with my computer. I have to open everything up as an administrator and I can not open up my scanner that way. I had to take the photos with my cell phone. One day soon I will figure out what the problem is and have it fixed.
