So then, life has been all around crazy lately. Trying to juggle all my responsibilities at work, the things my household deserve me to do, and my need to continue to staying actively creative. All of which require a lot of energy and focus. Get's a girl down and tried sometimes. This is where 101 degree weather does not help any one of my causes to staying mobile. The one room in my house with the air conditioner, also happens to have my bed. Two things that equal maximum comfort, and therefore I would rather be napping instead of washing dishes.

Hot weather also triggers much complaining.

Finished a good friends drawing this afternoon. Great excuse to stay indoors, and not take Charlie on a walk. He likes to think he could survive comfortably in this weather. Bah! What do 11mo. old pups know? Speaking of which, tomorrow Charlie will be officially 11 months old. Happy Birthday Charles!

I was asked to answer a few questions concerning my views on the link between craft and community. This will take much forethought. But I'm very excited to be apart of this research.

Busy, Beautiful Weekend

Thank You,
to all of you who came out and supported your
local Pittsburgh Artists!
I had an amazing experience, for it having been my first
I Made It! Market.
I hope to participate again next year.



Charlie Dog was a BIG hit at this show!
I am one proud mother to say, he was so well behaved !

I thought my bike and jacket was as manly as it could get, but I learned today that what it all needed to be complete was a hardcore tomahawk pin (the heart might not increase the manliness, but I love it). Mass produced pins don't have this kind of class or soul. Thanks!
