    Fashion will find you

    What’s Jack up to today? Frolicking in the the wet morning grass, then coming inside to jump on my couch. Oh, Jack.

    So, the Wellie saga continues. There may be a compromise on the horizon, but I’m not ready to do that just yet. More to come later.

    Now, because of the Wellie woes, a good friend of mine sent me over to Kohl’s. It was a bust in the way-too-obsessed-boot department, but I scored big in the sweater department!
    I found the cutest black and grey marled sweater, with swingy sleeves and three big buttons. It’s something I wish I could knit. But for the bargain price I paid, it would get me just one ball of yarn, maybe 1/4 of a sleeve. It was meant to be.

    Here’s a little sketch of it. Don’t laugh, it’s been a while since I’ve picked up the pencil.

    On the writing front, I’m just about ready to send my newest project to my agent.
    Nail biting will ensue.
    It’s always tough putting yourself out there. Doing any type of art always takes a leap of faith and a certain amount of daring. You’re putting what you value out in the world to be judged, hopefully kindly.

    Go me!

    Best,

    Creativity deffered

    What’s Jack up to? See this sweet photo?
    Now think the opposite. This morning Jack’s at the window barking his head off at every pedestrian, car and delivery truck that happens by.

    And I’m supposed to work with this going on? Shhh Jack.

    I’ve decided to put a few inspiration photos here for myself and my DH (notice blatant hint here). What do these beautiful dining rooms have in common? Why, a great chandelier to finish them off. To give that polish that says this is well thought out “done” room. So, I’m on the hunt for a great chandelier of my own. Something to really polish off my room and not break the bank. I’m sure I will find one. Once I get a bee in my bonnet there’s no stopping me.

    On another inspirational note I’m going to my local RWA NYC chapter meeting this weekend. I love sitting in a room with other writers who are all rooting for each other to succeed. Writing is so solitary and the meetings are a great boost for me. I always leave feeling pumped up and ready to work.

    Best,
