It's Friday!

Yippy! I'm looking forward to working on Fiona tomorrow, all the machine sewing is done and most of the hand sewing! I could even attempt to do her face tomorrow!

Willow is doing great, the stitches and cut look good and she's almost back to her old self, as you can see in the photo. To keep an eye on her, she'll be helping in the studio while I work on Fiona!

By the way, here's one of the cuts and 8-9 stitches... I still can't imagine how much that hurt!

In other news, we booked our flight and transportation to the May 2011 Convention, so we're ready to fly! For the 2 of us, with all the taxes and insurance, it's about $1500... about as bad as I thought it would be. But it's a direct flight, and the times are good.

last days of 2010...

It's almost here, 2011! I very much hope and plan to be a much more creative person in 2011, especially in regards to my soft sculpture critters. There are great things brewing...
So, why a blog? I'm exceptionally adept at doing everything EXCEPT my creative stuff. (Great things have been brewing for a looonnggg time...) It's always last on the list and there are, sadly, only so many hours in a day no matter how you try and milk it. Perhaps, if I have a blog to share, I'll keep track of my progress (or lack there of) and actually stay on top of my schedule. This is especially important since I'm doing the Quinlan's convention. Basically, I'm investing something like $2000 to do the show (plane tickets, hotel, show fee, etc...), so I had better have some incredible art to share!
