We were pretty slow last week, since neither of us were feeling great. By Friday I had a pile of work to finish before Saturday's Sale at the Folk Art Center. I was able to get Pat to bed at a decent time. I only got a couple of hours of sleep ~ but I did get everything done.
We had pretty good sales, and a lot of Fun! Our friends David and Melanie Grant were demonstrating in the lobby. Which was a wonderful surprise, because they had been planninng to do the Mississippi Guild show. It was great to have a chance to catch up with them, and to see some of our other friends in the Guild. All in all it was a lot of Fun and we did get some Christmas shopping done for ourselves too!
Sunday was a bust. We were both beat. Finally got Pat to go to the doctor. Being Sunday the only option was the Urgent Care Center. Fortunately she doesn't have strep, but she does have infected sinuses and an ear infection. So she's taking antibiotics and an over the counter expectorent. Unfortunately, now I'm sicker.
When I was in the waiting room reading the Sunday Asheville Citizen-Times, I saw the Guild'c color ad for Allanstand and Guild Crafts . . . Yep! One of our pieces! That's just a thrill. Another one of our pieces is in the December issue of The Laurels of Asheville magazine too! It's way cool!
Sunday I got an email asking if I would consider standing as one of six candidates for one of the three Board of Trustees positions that are coming open in the Spring . . . I'm honoured and flattered. I have no idea if I have any chance of serving on the Board. As it is I'm having a great time on the Fair Committee! We'll see what happens. In the meantime I'll keep doing whatever I can to help out.
Between the Urgent Care visit, the prescription filling and the grocery store, we got home late Sunday afternoon. Then it was time to cook dinner. By the time I was finished I was done. I did get a little painting time in on the grey Centaur.
Monday Jeannie was sick with a stomach bug, so Pat didn't go to Waynesville. Despite everything that needs to be done this week, we both decided that we needed a day off! So I checked out gamers' blogs and loafed. Pat wrote some and loafed. I started dinner a little earlier and got some more painting done.
The Centaurs are coming along nicely. I'm happy with how the bay is looking, even before his shading. The grey? I'm not sure yet. He was going to be a dapple, and I think I know how to get the effect I'm after. But for now he's more or less a solid grey. I have to think about him a bit more.
We woke each other up coughing off and on all night last night and this morning. I finally gave up and got up early. Now I've had my coffee time, so it's back to work!
Where was I? What do we have to do??? Oh yeah! Today's is wax and investing day. Shipping the Jewelry Focus pieces to Arrowcraft. Sizing the opal ring for Allanstand. Working on pieces to take to Arrowcraft this weekend.
Maybe I'll have some energy for painting again tonight! For now, here is a memory . . .
My first view of Castle Devin (at that time Chateau d'Vin).
If this loaded correctly you should be able to zoom in on the battlements. Can you see those little heads and bows over the crenalations? Those are 25 mm Ral Partha figures . . .Yeah, Tim's beautiful Castle is big!
I took this photo on August 5th of 2006. I photoshopped the distracting background out. In the foreground is the Brothers Tower.
