uh... whoops

So every time I decide to update, I promise to keep up with it. Apparently, that's a promise I just can't keep. Sorry about that.

Things I've done lately:
-Gone to the Wool Gathering during the 3rd weekend of September, my favorite weekend of the fall. Not only do I get to spend a very relaxing weekend in Yellow Springs, but it's when I stock up on some very high quality wool and get inspired by what other people are doing with it. And I always notice that what I do is very different...and it always leaves me wanting to learn how to knit. Anyway, here's some info to see what happened this year and something to keep in mind for the next one: http://my.voyager.net/~nfisher/

-Met some authors: Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black from The Spiderwick Chronicles and just today I met YA and now tween author Lauren Myracle. And got to hang with Loren Long a little, who is always an inspiration.

So now I'm back to work, and trying to organize my space/self to make the best use of my time. I find myself felting in front of the tv, which makes my concentration on both kind of useless. I mean, I can't fully devote myself to Project Runway if I'm busy making art. And then there's my furry friend, who always seems to find my lap (see picture).
I'm going to try to move myself back to a studio space, and devote time to just making art. And it'll give me time to spend listening to music more than mindlessly watching tv- which has it's time and place, but that's a different mindset than "art mode".

If all of the problems in life could be resolved by moving furniture, then between blue manatee and home, I'd have it all figured out. I think rearranging things just gets me closer and closer to some sort of resolution.

And, now... it's time for a very long day to end. I'd promise to be back soon, but...
