Logging Off for a Week

Hey Everybody,
The studio is almost all cleared out and the wedding cakes are ready to deliver!  The carpet is supposed to get ripped up today but I said I needed a little computer time first.  I have to notify my few but faithful followers and get a few autobiographies supplied to Gilpin County Art Studio Tour group.
So, here you go, I am will be logging out and taking my computer apart in a few hours.  My phone still works though if anyone needs to contact me.  Look forward to photos of my new studio in a week or so.
Keep creating and have fun!

Dog Tired

Here are my babies taking a well-deserved break.  This last week was quite long, hard, and surreal. 
We had two friends that left Colorado and a lot of stuff in our basement.  There was a lot of comings, goings, and sorting happening.  We ended the week doing a catered dinner for 16 for friends of ours.  The photo was taken right after delivering the meal.  It was also our 5th anniversary of actual marriage.
We had the most wonderful night of doing absolutely nothing!  We were told to go out but after such a week as we had, it was so nice to just be home with only my husband and animals.  We had delicious New York Strip steaks and honey gold potatoes fried with some garlic.  Simple and perfect!
Today, we pull everything out of the studio so we can remove the carpet and expose the beautiful hard wood underneath.  It will be so much nicer to sew and dance on now!  Maybe we will feel like going out tonight for our anniversary dinner after a lot more hard work.

August Update

I have always loved the design I used on the green borders of this client's quilt.  It really compliments the fabric.  This was one of last week's quilts and it came out quite nicely.  Some of the other updates/highlights of the week are as follows.
I was asked to be a part of an Artists Open Studio Tour.  It is timed nicely for just after I remodel my studio floor which will involve taking everything out of my studio.  This will be no small venture, I have a lot of stuff!  I might not show before pictures, but I'll post after ones for sure!
 I cooked up a mess of food for a catering gig for a friend that ended up being next weekend.
I went to a fabulous annual event with some dear friends.  It was the Cultiva Benefit Dinner last night, which is a great event for a great cause.  It raises money for the Growing Gardens project in Boulder which supports many wonderful programs but especially dear to my heart is Cultiva.  This program teaches kids how to grow food, be responsible, and give back to the community.  These are great kids!!!!
Today was a "day off" and I waged war on the thistle colony that seems bent on taking over my back yard area.  Which might actually be mine in the near future.  Part of what I thought was my property traded hands a few times and after many years and negotiations, it might become part of Mountainjoy again.  Yeah!!!
Lots of good and busy things are happening around here.  The rest of  August holds:  my Anniversary, making a wedding cake for friend, doing a long arm demonstration, re-doing the studio floors, and a visit from my awesome mother-in-law.  Life is good.
