Well kids, I'm at the library.
Last week my computer went 'kaput' and now it is having a vacation at my brothers house - I hope it comes back happy and fresh and new and virus free :)
I have had so many ideas for blogs lately... it figures it happens when my computer is dead, right? Haha... oh well. I'll have to post them later - I won't right now because they require photos, and I didn't bring the cable for my phone...
About that art project I mentioned a while ago... it is slow going getting it organized. It requires permission from some people from my past, and it has been quite the adventure getting that permission! I actually decided to give up on it after a few uncomfortable instances ... but then after talking to a good friend about it I have decided to go about it anyway. Even if I can't get everyone involved, I think the project will be healthy for me to do in the end. I bet you're all just boiling with curiosity aren't you?!?!
Keep those seat belts buckled - you'll find out eventually :)
Some good news - I have been sewing! Nothing too creative, but sewing nonetheless. I finished some throw pillows for my brother and sister in law (they were in my possession for way too long waiting to be finished) and boy does it feel good to have those out of the house! I bet they look nice in their place too :) I haven't been over to visit them yet (the pillows, that is)
I also finished a quilt top for my friend Joe - it's almost done Joe! Top, finished - back, almost finished... now I just need batting. Poor Joe has been waiting for this quilt for months... is my face red? :P
One thing at a time... getting caught up, and with every item I finish I get more and more excited about doing artsy things for myself! Next on the list, repairing some items for a friend. After that is done, I am off to the races with my own work :D I am SO excited!!
It is also coming to show applying time... I am about to do my application for Art on the Street - I have done this show 3 times now... I think 3 times... yes 3...
I can't wait for 4! It's a great show.
I actually applied for a spring show recently... one that I have been wanting/trying to get into for a loooooong time - it's actually the only show I have never been accepted into. So, I sent my application off in the mail for this show, super excited because I thought this time, for SURE I'll get in! To my surprise, the next week, I get a package in the mail. The unfortunate part is that the package I received was my application! The stamp had fallen off, and it was returned to me. Can you BELIEVE it??? So, even though I knew it would be late, I sent it off in the mail again with a stamp taped on like crazy. I received an e-mail from a girl from the show the next week saying she got my application, but it was too late. Gah! I couldn't believe it. Oh well. I will try again for the winter show. :)
Some fun in my life lately - I went to see Sweet Thing for the third time in Toronto. My sister and her boyfriend and I went together. It was actually a 'Lights' concert, but Sweet Thing was opening - and I went purely for them :) They are SO good! I chatted with Owen (the lead singer) for a bit after their set. I talked to him the last time I saw them too. What a gem! I am going to see them yet again on the 21st at the Mod club in Toronto, and I am super excited :D They guarantee a great show - always super fun, super cute, and super good music!! Oh, and I may have a 'mild' crush on the entire band.... but especially on Owen ;)
Anywho - that's all for now folks! I will post another couple blogs soon once I get this photo thing figured out....

Big post! I'm excited to see what this big secret project is all about.
The pillows look awesome, thanks so much for doing them for us!
Your computer apparently only has one virus, it's just manifesting itself as many other ones, and it's a particularly nasty bugger. Hopefully I'll get it fixed soon, but this week is hella busy at work, so no promises.
Yay for getting things finished! If you ever need another kick in the artsy fartsy pants, my dear, you know who to call. As poet Matthew Arnold said, "Produce, produce, produce, for the night is coming." It's that kind of doom and gloom that keeps me focused on my creative work. Oh yeah, and the money;-)
I'm also excited to see/hear about the secret project! I'm also excited to see another post. So Nice to peek into your world.
