packing and cleaning
Spent today packing up supplies to ship out for my next workshop in Coupeville WA.

I'll be out there almost two weeks because after I teach at the Coupeville Arts Center, I have two days off and then I teach at ArtFest. So lots of stuff to send ahead! I weighed the box I packed and it's 40lbs. and I probably have another one to send too!

I also cleaned and got my studio ready for the photoshoot tomorrow. A photographer from the Tampa Tribune magazine, Flair, is coming to take photos of me "at work" in the studio for an article.

Oh boy! You'd think I'd be really excited, but I am a little bit nervous about it.

I have never had an "outside person" (non-friend or family member) come and see my "studio" which is actually my formal living room. When I think about them coming and seeing my art and workspace, I get a little knot in my tummy. I guess I feel kind of shy about it.

Well I'd better get an early night. I want to clean the house a little bit before they come to make a good impression!

Hey Claudine! I hope to see you at ArtFest!

Just a little off-topic: have you seen this blog?

It's pretty good!
 
thanks guys for all your well wishes!

It went pretty good! I felt a little silly pretending to make art and such for the camera, but hopefully it looked ok. I managed to wear my cute apron from Anthropologie and then forgot to take off my slippers! So my fuzzy slippers might end up in some pics. LOL.

Maggie climbed up on my art table while I was "working" and they got some shots of her lounging while I "created". Which was great because that's what she does normally anyway and they said they wanted it to be natural!

We got Toby in one of the photos and I hope they use it, he even had is tounge out which made it extra cute!

yay! it's over! now I can relax. whew!

Claudine:

Yes, I did read Kara's interview! I really wish she had made it to the final three....Did you happen to see her line? I didn't and have heard it's gorgeous! She seemed pretty disappointed when she wasn't selected by any of the final three to help in the final outfit production...
 
I am sad that the show will donr tomorrow but at the sametime I can't wait to see it.
 
My Mom's best friend lives in Coupeville and runs a little shop down there called Collections on the waterfront. You should check it out! And definitely get an orange roll at the Knead and Feed!!!! It's a great place- I've spent many happy summer weeks there!

I've been in Collections, it's such a CUTE store! And Knead and Feed is soooo yummy. My fav. restaurant there is Christopher's I ate there every night last time I taught there. They were like - you again!
