Tis the Season...is everyone sick?

What a week it was...
I started out by helping my sister put up a privacy fence. She has two beautiful white German Shepherds, but just moved into a house on Main Street across from the grocery store.

Odds and Ends of Life
I just read a newsletter about growing as an artist. Right now, I am not growing. I think I am going through the dormant part of the cycle. I haven't had a creative thought, urge or dream for weeks. I haven't touched the torch and I haven't even wandered out to the studio. My blog, shops and website have been just
