lighten up...

suburban sunrise

It's a lovely morning in the 'burbs.

font mania

Why, oh why am I addicted to fonts??? I am too ashamed to say how many I have... andI am constantly trolling for more. The right font for a project brings me JOY!!! That being said... Lettering Delights http://www.creativedelights.com/letteringdelights/ is an amazing source. There are almost 1000 fonts and they are CHEAP!!! Now, I need an intervention. Stop me before I buy more!

McLain Castle

Will's room is coming along nicely...

loaded

Loaded

I bear no burden, save the one
of ordinariness that rides my back,
a scrawny crone, her weight
no more than a bundle of dry sticks.
She fills my ear with her raspy complaints.
You never buy me a new dress.
I saw that one with buttons of real bones.
They looked like your teeth,
so white and even.
Take me to the fair.
I want something sweet.
Faster. Slower.
Let’s go to sleep.

When did she climb to her easy perch,
wrap her limbs like rusty wire
around my chest? I must have stopped
along my brilliant arc, rested
too long. Everywhere her sisters crawl
and clack their bones against the spines
of all of us once so bright and true.

I love me some Tim Holtz...

Tim took a look at my pendant (that I made last night!) after the very cool workshop. Laurie and I really enjoyed learning some great new altered art techniques and Tim was an angel! Very inspiring!

must make art...

Off to the workshop!!!!!!!

still cooking...

Tomorrow is the Tim Holtz class and I am stoked!!! Laurie and I are practically salivating in anticipation!!! Oh, delight!!! Still getting the kids ready for school. Poor tykes! So absurd for school to start this early... In other news... I had a poem published on Stirring http://www.sundress.net/stirring/index.html along with a fellow Wilder, L.J. Cohen http://ljcbluemuse.blogspot.com/~ a fine writer and all around great gal. And Will's castle room is underway... well, we bought the paint. ~grins~
