Well.
Without getting into it, the studio I thought I was moving into on the 1st has gone to someone else. I suspect, ironically, coincidentally, it's someone I met the night before I got the news. (And spent $85 with on a scarf she made.) I guess they wanted someone less fine-art and more wearables.
So, humorously enough, I've spent the last two weeks working on costumes for the Christmas Pageant at our church. No high couture, but a pretty good bit of improvisation -- 11 costumes, for kids aged kindergarten through 4th grade. No patterns, no shopping, just used stuff from the stash. Visit my facebook if you simply must see what I did. But, I am kinda proud.
Two different artists I know and respect said, about the studio, "Things happen for a reason. New opportunities are on their way." And I'll choose to believe it.
I need to finish stitching the backing on "Going to Seed", and then can start something new if I want -- I'll finish cleaning the sewing room first (organza and cotton sheeting and glittery trims everywhere) -- I have a few notions percolating, including a celebration of "winter whites!"

close to the border...
"Going to Seed" is pretty much done! Just needs a border. (black and white photo for now)
16x20 inches. Funny how I can make anything that size w/o even trying. :/
