Cactus Monday and New Show Venue

Happy Cactus Monday!
Photo taken on Saturday morning by the rock shop in town. Chris in WI is having a give away!
Hurry over to sign up for your chance(s)!!! and not just fabric but lots of other pretties too... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What a week, what a weekend, and the show goes on. I am writing this on Sunday night. Just let it be known that is just is not humanly possible to stay as far UP as I have been for weeks now and not come down again. I crashed around six p.m. Sunday, Pacific Standard Time. By crashing I mean that feeling when your blood sugar drops dramatically suddenly and you feel like crying or hitting someone. You'll be glad to know I did neither. I felt like I knew what someone suffering from manic depression/bio polar disorder must feel like when they shift moods quickly and dramatically. But I didn't need medication. I needed food/dinner. After dinner I feel balanced again. The show ended well. There were no sales, however if you add up the kudos I received you can see I am a very very very rich woman. The gentleman from Mojo Flow Studio came by per our appointment and we signed a contract for me to take my load of art to his studio to hang there for two weeks starting next Friday. I packed up my art and brought it home. I will not make you listen as I slide boards onto the hanging sleeves on the backs of fabric pieces and add wire so they can be hung on picture hooks, one each, per his request. I will not bore you with details of safety pinning ribbons hanging from the art holding the little quiltlets with descriptions, size, my name and prices. (so they don't have to be nailed to his walls. Okay, I might remind you on Friday that I am indeed hanging it all again in a new place. I have to say I now feel like a real live really am a honest to goodness ARTISTE!

    Wonderful on the new show coming up too. Maybe there will be more at the end of that one. The more places your art is shown the more chance of selling something too.
    I am glad you didnt FALL to far down and that food revived you. You still have much to look forward too. :))

    Marianne, I wish I was home taking it easy now...I am at work and having a hard time staying awake today. I will rest.

    Andrea, no problem with eating...

    Mim, thanks...love the kina hora bit too. LOL

    Cris, thanks...

    Margreet, I do believe the red plants are edible on the cactus.

    Teri, thanks and Soul Thanks all of you for reaffirming my artistry.
    I think I know this, but the show was just such a huge validation...because people were so interested and appreciative.
    Sometimes I guess I need to see and hear that to really realize it myself. I do have a tendency to see others art and think I am not THAT GOOD! YOu know how one can do that at times. Maybe it's just me.
