Lately time just seems to be getting away from me.....so many things going on....
Last Thursday I turned 29 :) I will perhaps remain 29 for the next several years ;) depending on how I feel come next September! I also ended my time working at Anthropologie by royally burning myself with an industrial glue gun (can you say youch!) and now suddenly feeling the full weight of upcoming craft shows with so much anticipation and trying to find the inspiration for that last burst of creativity.I am so happy it is finally fall though. It was positively chilly this morning. I think the rabbits will enjoy this sort of weather, the type luxurious fur coats are made for! We had some big home improvements done to the little house over the weekend, including the finishing of our back porch which I am so excited about. I now wish it would rain so I can sit under my new porch roof and enjoy it :)
I've been working on a little family commission that is almost done and then plan to refocus myself big time for completing more holiday paintings and more dolls. What are you working on this last week of September?
And finally, I wanted to share with you that the art show in Indianapolis that I will be a part of is fast approaching--- "Useful and Beautiful: A Return to Myth and Romance in Art" will open on Oct. 8 at Big Hat Books in Indianapolis, In. with a reception from 6-9. Unfortunately I wont be there to see it all in person but I know its going to be a fabulous show, and you're nearby you should definitely go check it out!
Well, back to the art table for me...looking forward to a quiet week of painting ahead of me....

So sorry to hear about your burn! I hope it heals soon. Indianapolis is not that far from Norwalk (maybe a 4 hour drive) perhaps I will have to take a road trip. Also - I picked up the latest Somerset Studio over the weekend - loved seeing your work in there. Hope you have a rainy (so you can sit on your new porch) and productive week:)
Ooh, a covered porch? That sounds lovely, and perfect timing with our gorgeous weather we'll be enjoying this week! Sorry about the burn, but on the upside, love the new Anthro purchase you made! Did you buy anything else? So far I've been really good and made more money than I've spent. We'll see how long I can keep it up! ;)
Lots of wonderful things going on over here....sorry about the glue gun incident....Oh I wish fall was here summer came back yesterday and it has been in the 100's I don't care I am still wearing fall clothes. I am very uncomfortable but I am not letting go of fall lol!! ~Good Luck and Enjoy your upcoming art endeavors ~Heather
OUCH! I have done exactly the same thing. Hope the burn heals quickly. I've been so busy doing some knitting commissions (hurray!) and getting ready for my own little birthday (I've stopped counting! LOL) So, the week will consist of sending out packages, listing new items, doing a birthday post, cleaning, and baking cupcakes. :) Theresa
Happy belated birthday! I've decided I'm not going to get any older either,lol ;)
So sorry about your glue gun burn-those are terrible :(
Your page in the new Somerset is so beautiful. Her lovely face haunting. Congratulations once again on all you are able to do and to do well.
Hi there Heather and Happy Autumn! I can definitely say ouch and I am so sorry to hear you injured yourself, all is well now I hope?
I just finished some little witch dolls for Halloween and now I am working on a painting for the Mexican Day of the Dead. I also have a few projects going for people I love and then on to Christmas...yah!
Have a very creative(fun)week!

Don't worry yourself, dear. You'll get everything done in time. That being said, I need to practice what I preach. I always feel like I'm behind when I have shows approaching, no matter how prepared I may be.
You're the most adorable 29-year-old there is! :-)
:) I have been working like an insane squirrel on my new art blog!
As well as an etsy store - however I still need to add things for sale - if it will just stop raining here in New England - I need natural light pictures for the big paintings...
Just joined your blog as a follower :)
Oh! and I forgot to add that as an artist, yes it is important to find your voice and that involves evolving. Trying new directions and seeing how that works out.
Heather you were the last person to sign up for my giveaway on the last day and you are the winner! You've won my Mocha Cupcake painting and I need for you to email me your address to caholman1@yahoo.com. Congrats!!
Hugs,
Cathie
