OMG....I have neglected my blog for sooooooooooooooooooooooooo long....can you tell I've been way to busy for chatting on line?    But I'm about to break that spell. 

I have been creating, but doing it silently.  I've worked up four pieces with a fifth under the sewing machine needle as I type and a new surface finished, ready to layer and start sewing next week.  My plan is to do two additional larger scenes and another animal and I should have more than enough for my unveiling in October as featured artist at the gallery in Old Sac.

As I told my Board of Directors last night at our meeting, I know my sales have been slow;  I have been doing something about it by changing what I have on the wall...if this doesn't generate sales over a specified amount of time, I will most likely leave the gallery.  You should have seen their faces....it was worth a picture, but I didn't have my camera/phone handy.   I meant what I said, so sales better start to happen or I'm going to have to pull the plug and move on.

Taking care of hubby has become far more than I even expected....it's been the hardest thing I have even done in my life and what I fear is that it's changing me.  That's why I moved my sewing table into the dining room so I could sew this summer and not have to dodge the heat in my studio.  It has helped a great bit to be able to sew and watch Lynn at the same time...at least I'm getting some new work completed and that's my goal. 

Lynn  and I have to come to a place where we have our new "norm" for us....he is not going to get much better..he is always going to be confined pretty much to the house and I'm going to have to pretty much take care of everything else.  His health is the biggest issue in our life; living it day by day.
