title this post. Here we are at the start of a new week. The sun is shining and everyone is in good health. I have some housework to tackle and three stacks of frames to fill. In the meantime here are some new papercuts that I did on Saturday night. I also sewed the embroidered top to make this pillow for Doreen’s b-day. We celebrated belatedly over thai food and lots of conversation!

And now, to the supermarket, the fridge is an echoing cavern of emptiness!

That’s the schedule around here! I cut, mounted and framed 10 new pieces today- a goal that was met. I’ll post an image tomorrow. In the meantime, dinner was made, kitchen was cleaned and a pumpkin cake baked, to toot my horn. Some random thoughts; I love that we no longer awaken in total darkness, replacing applesauce for 1/2 the fat really works, the leaves smell so good on my daily walks and wasn’t today’s weather crazy? Sophia and I shared an umbrella on our afternoon stroll with Archie and we saw a rainbow against the slate grey sky. Anyhoo, I’m running out of steam, so I’ll end this here.

my two Holiday shows. I’ll keep this brief, I need to get back to the desk and I have Sophia home sick. Let’s hope it’s nothing serious. These were made with the idea of keeping the price point low. I’m still on the fence on their prices. The square ornaments are 2 inches by 2 inches. The circle frames are about 4 inches in diameter.

I just finished, Half Broke Horses and really enjoyed it. This time the author is writing about her maternal grandmother. I also loved The Glass Castle, also by Jeannette Walls, which is a memoir on her crazy upbringing. I’ve been eating far too much Halloween candy. Usually I don’t squander my calories on non-dark chocolate. This year my standards have lowered, who knew I liked Baby Ruth bars? It’s nice to have the holiday and birthday behind us. Now to jump on the crazy Christmas Bus! Let’s hope everyone will be healthy for the holidays. Andrew developed an ear-infection at 4 am on Saturday morning.

We have a lot of it. This year Sophia and her friend’s goal was to do the whole neighborhood, and we did. It was such a mild night, perfect for just wearing your costume. One grandpa thought Sophia was dressed up as Kelly Osborn, apparantly she’s on Dancing with the Stars. 
Everyone knew Andrew was Dath Vader and Sophia was Lucy from I Love Lucy. This year our pumpkins were Simpson’s inspired.

Andrew is doing much better, hallelujah! We had a nice celebration last night with Grandma Anne. He definitely has the ‘fine smekker’ gene, since he requested a sponge cake, whipped cream and berries for his birthday cake! Last night we also did a trial run of Sophia’s Lucy Arnez costume. She can wear her costume today at her school. I meanwhile am pinching myself with the thought of not having to go the pediatrician today! I hope I’m not speaking to soon:{

After going to Studio Hop yesterday, I went to Paper Works. They had a great selection of stuff and I’m trying out some new black paper. It is black core, so there are not white edges and it’s 8 1/2 x 11. My only concern is if it will fade. I’m throwing caution to the wind and giving it a try. Here are the new pieces.
And I received my new business cards today:
Please excuse the bad lighting and photography. In other news, Andrew and I were at the Doctor’s office again. Tonight we had another lung listen and an X-ray. His lungs looked clear, so I think we can rule out pneumonia, but he seems to have asthma. I hope we can get him back to normal. Tomorrow is his birthday and we will be back at the doctors!

I was just looking at ‘Turkey Feathers’ a blog I enjoy and she has a link to a catalogue, the ‘09 fall/winter GreenGate catalog. I had never heard of before and I took a peek and it looks fabulous. I don’t know how you can get one, but I sure would like to. It reminded me of Cath Kidston stuff. Take a gander.
