A Bridal Shower,Artwork, and Paperwork

My beautiful niece, Lindsay. Soft spoken, multi-talented, knowledgable, organized, kind, gentle, and drop dead gorgeous:)
Larissa and her blueberries.
Getting ready for the last show. Art nouveau table for sale, and will be at Boonsborough Days. I often use display pieces that I sell. Gold paint underneath, and it has some age.
Homemade, delicious, handmade Margharita pizza. Yum. Very easy. I will tell you how another time, including my Russian teacakes as I promised.
Pretty cake from Safron bakery for Serge. Even though his birthday was a month ago, I thought I'd show it. Safron Bakery makes fabulous French butter cream cakes. Pretty flowers.

So, sorry for not posting recently. I did not realize that it has been nearly 2 weeks! My daughter , Alex , is her cousin Lindsay's maid of honor. So the shower was 3 states away on Long Island on the 14th. Lindsay was surprised and the shower was very nice. I haven't taken the memory stick out of the camera yet to see the pictures, though.

Everyday, I have been trying to get to artwork. I have shows coming up very soon. Boonsborough Days is very big and is creeping up very quickly. Stores have been asking for artwork to sell, and I keep 'not having enough' to bring in. Not good. And we have so much to put on Etsy, but we have been very negligent- although with very good reason.

And the paperwork is never-ending , it seems. So , I have been trying very hard to do some paperwork every day. I have been very good at it, but still need to plough away. I came onto the computer to start a rough draft of an appeal that I am submitting, and got diverted by this blog post. And my kitchen, family room, and dining room tables and island are loaded with glazed pins and ornaments in the making, along with a gazillion other items I uncovered to work on. My kitchen table holds about 17-24 canvasses all sketched in ready for painting/collaging.

I know, terrible- to have to eat meals at different loacations. Ehhh!!!!! BUt, out of sight is out of mind. I could move them easily, but....

And I am invited to a friend's house this evening. Either she will cook, or she and her husband will take me out. Who can say no?haha......

Hopefully soon I will post pictures of all the work that I am working on around the house. And in between all this 'fun' , I am interviewing, etc for jobs. Sometimes, ...alright, often, I do not know which to tackle first. But, I just start doing. It's not easy keeping all the eggs in the basket after losing one's husband of 27 years just less than 3 months ago. We still miss him big time, and still are finding our way.

Stay blessed.
