Busy
busy week. Busy busy month. I am always so glad when December is
over. And this December is going to be worse than usual.
It
starts with the annual Open House with other glass artists at our
friends Dick and Kathy's glass blowing studio which is late this
year. It usually falls on the 1st weekend in December but
this year the 1st was on a Sunday and since Thanksgiving
was so late this year we bumped it to the next full weekend.
The
following weekend is my grandgirl Robin's Bat Mitzvah. The weekend
after that, my sister goes out of town to spend christmas week with
her daughter and family in Albuquerque and we get the little dogs.
In there is christmas and two days later, Marcmas (if you are new
around here, that's Marc's birthday and yes we are irreverent) and
finally New Year's.
And
in there somewhere, I have two sets of designs to do and samples to
make and I just got confirmation that another proposal is ready to
send us a deposit.
Fuck.
I am never going to get the Erotica Botanicas finished.
Not
that I am complaining. I am very happy for the commission work. For
as long as we can do it.
Monday
and Tuesday I got the cold work done on the three small bowls that
Marc did. He loves this property and the view of the sunsets over
the vacant 13 Acre Field and so he used the spectacular sunsets we
get for inspiration and he did a fabulous job even if I do say so
myself.
Also
got the window/garden ornaments wired up for hanging last night and
dug out the left over cast pieces from last year.
So
now I'm trying to get everything assembled, packed, and loaded up
for the work week in the shop and weekend. I have to bring my model
making stuff as we are going to be 'working at our table' throughout
the weekend as a sort of on-going demo.
All
right. That's enough, still got plenty to do before we head to the
city this afternoon.
Oh, but I think you should throw a party in the middle of all of this! Or, you know, decide to re-tile your bathroom or lay new floor in the kitchen! Because honestly, that's just not enough to be doing.
ReplyDelete(Seriously- those bowls are gorgeous and please take care of yourself, i.e., get enough sleep, eat some good food, etc.)
The bowls are just stunning. You two produce such incredible art.
ReplyDeletethe bowls are really pretty! i can't wait until the holidays are over, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is too busy, as in insane. But, you'll bet through. Then throw the party. Say on Marcmas.
ReplyDeletelove the bowls, nice colors
ReplyDeleteLove the bowls! And I thought I had a lot on MY plate this month! Of course, most of my stuff is just worrying about things...
ReplyDeleteHope the Open House goes well!
I love the bowls!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're busy - hope you aren't too busy.

Hm, sounds quite hectic. And in between you still find time to blog and visit other blogs?
ReplyDeleteAmazing.
Good luck with the work.
