How Things Fall into your Lap

Putting an old friend up on my blog today....Man with Squeezebox: Ireland....I created this piece a long time ago and it's still one of my favorites and I still have it in my inventory.  Just placed in on the TAFA on-line store along with three other pieces to see if I can generate some interest in my fiber work.  It sometimes takes a long time to find that perfect someone that has the same interest and feels the same about an image...the wait can be forever.  But I keep on trying. 

It always surprises me how things fall into ones lap when you least expect them to do so.  I always have on going projects for the gallery, but I do like to take a break from the same projects and work on new items.....and this month, TAFA approached me about their on line store, so I took the up on it.  Then one of my sisters mentioned that she and another of my sisters were going to hire a booth space at our local quilt guilds annual show in Oct/Nov and would I like to participate...yes.  And then talking last night to a bowling friend who works in the floral business...he read that I was going to start on some floral ideas and he asked me to make up some smaller pieces around 10x10 or 12x12 and he could get them hung at the floral business he works for...great idea to work up my ideas small to see if they work and then I can create them in a larger size which I prefer.  Three things that just seemed to happen out of the blue.  You have just got to love what comes along from time to time. 

Having my husband home after sixty days and the amount of care he needs has really caught me off-guard...it's a huge amount of work each day...along with the doc appointments, home health appointments, finding time to run out to the grocery store and pharmacy....yikes!!!  At days end I am totally spent and so ready for rest.  Hopefully as the days progress, he'll need less and less help and I will be able to have more time creating...selfish of me a bit, but it so much of my passion.
