We
are headed back into the city today but for two days only this week
as we will finish up the panel we are working on and it will be
installed Thursday morning. Next week we will go in as well, again
for only two days, to clean and seal the companion panel to the one
we are finishing this week and to get it re-installed.
This
is a job we did some 12 years ago and one of the panels has been
broken so it involves making a new panel to replace the broken one
and removing the intact panel and getting it thoroughly cleaned and
sealed and then reinstalled.
And
that will be all the backlogged work. We still have two commissions
on the books but neither of them are ready for fabrication and I am
glad of that.
Because...
I'm
tired and ready for a break.
We've been going full bore for 6 months
now and though I am not complaining, am so grateful for the work
after nearly a year and a half of little to none, I am tired of
having to go into the city every week to do fabrication. Now that we
are caught up for the moment, or will be soon, we will be able to
hang tight at home while I get art work prepared for the next two.
So
here's some miscellaneous pictures.

redbud
tree blooms
a
sunset from last fall
and
a little broccoli flower
I have that sort of iris, too. But not for another couple of months.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures - spring is coming! They're calling for 6 inches of snow tonight - but spring is still coming :)
ReplyDeleteThose photos are just so refreshing.. veggies.. flowers and setting sun. I hope your break will make you feel at least as refreshed.
ReplyDeleteyou're definitely ahead of us in spring. and YAY for a small break for you!!!
ReplyDeleteThose carrots make me quite jealous!
ReplyDeleteLove the broccoli flower. Don't believe I have ever seen one before.
ReplyDeleteYour reality is less wintry than every one else's! wonderful family of carrots, all sorts. Sometimes out broccoli will bolt - the flowers are great in salad, as you know. I look forward to them.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures but my favorites are the sky and the blossom.
ReplyDeleteSoon, rest soon.
That iris is real nice
ReplyDeleteFor some unknown reason your previous two posts didn't show up on my reader until today! Love the doors! I'm stunned that you managed to read as much as you did - and sheesh ... you deserve a break!
ReplyDeleteTake your well deserved break and just relax and renew.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the "Dutch" Iris. They always remind me of my Mom. She just loved her bulbs and these were her favorites.

that's a great series of miscellaneous photos!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about being grateful for the work yet exhausted by it
one of the stresses of running your own shop
