not too muc

not too much going on, but some things. i spent the day yesterday going to a nursery with my parents to buy some plants. we had a nice time together! i then came home and dug and dug and weeded and planted. jamie mowed today...the yard is gonna look good. for now, it looks a little leggy, but it will fill out. pics of that coming soon.


kate, claire, and i went shopping tonight out at the dillard's that is now the big discount shop-o-rama. then we ate at papa's and beer, a mexican joint that was delicious. i especially liked the bean dip that came with the chips. as claire, said, "i'm sure it has lard in it!" all you have to do is see my swelling stomach right now and you would think about lard! we looked at more plants over at k-mart while we waited for our table. nice to hang out with the girls!



i've been able to make a bunch of new work for Obsidian Gallery out in tucson. i didn't think i had time, but i made time,and i am super glad. i really like this work, it is different for me, and also will be good for them to have work unlike other galleries. i hope they like it too!







i also am participating in a show in northeast harbor, maine at the Shaw Gallery this summer. it is about pop culture and i have been "assigned" sex, relationships, body image, etc. here is a little preview of my "engagement ring". it measures about 1.5" in diameter. in other words, it is HUGE. but soso pretty and pink! more to come on this, as i am having a really fun time making fun of things! just wait til you see what i do with the britney spears musical key chain i got on ebay last week. whoa!



i hope tomorrow to finish a new spectacular prong set necklace. i am super psyched about it, people. it totally kicks ass, and when it is finished i will post a pic to see what you think. i certainly am having a good time working with stones. it has opened up a whole new world of structure in my work, and the colors and shapes sure are exciting and enticing!

i've been getting up really early (mostly because i have been sleeping like crap) but that has enabled me to get to the studio early and get alot done. it feels really good. i am in a serious work mode...whether it is being at home in the yard like yesterday, or in the studio like all the other days. fun stuff. i hate it when the work day is over, though i do love coming home to jamie.

fermelenge, mera dosta!
