"She Said, Oooh, La, La! I'm going to Cut Loose!!"

Spring Bay Studio -- 2009 --

This is one of the pieces that I worked out the other day - a little different mermaid than I have done in the past, but she just sorta came to me outta the blue -- she also has some more colors since I took this picture..little bits more of blue and green..just to make her feel more at home away from her little sea home.

We are having weather that definetly feels like Fall is here -- lots of rain in the last 36 hours, and it doesn't look like it has any plans to go away any time soon. The storm itself looks like it's swirling just overhead..lots of wind that's coming straight off the Sound, then some strong rain, then the Wind again...the radar looks just horrid, and even the shot Noah looked at on the Weather Channel had him mumbling about the clouds. There just doesn't look like there will be sun for our future!! The temps are really cool too -- 73 I think it was at the last reading...not what it usually is along this area this time of year...we're supossed to be near 82 - o - 84. Not a chance of that today!!

So we are getting other things taken care of today!! -- I've been sewing up a new apron..the fabric was nearly a steal at under $6.00 for the entire amount!! Ha! -- Shipping cost more than all the fabric! -- But that's ok, 'cause it is coming along quite nicely, and this time tomorrow I'll be wearing it while I clean and bake some nummy chicken! The fun thing about the pattern, is that it also was a near steal! - $2.99!! - Let's hear it for not spending an arm and a leg!! Whoo- Hoo!! I'll post the finished apron tomorrow. Even Tom said it looked pretty good. Whoa!! That's sayin' somethin'!!

There are a couple other projects that are just getting finished on the little work table, so those too, will get posted either tomorrow or the following day -- what with today being a holiday here in the states, my brain seems that it wants to be on vacation too -- I know it's Labor Day, an' it's monday..ok..so that means tomorrow will be tuesday. 'k. I guess I'm ok after all...jus' sorta thot I'd missed a day or 2 again. Did that last week about 4 times in one day....sheesh...

Must check some paint and see if the paper I've got my latest sketch on is doin' ok in all this damp weather. Things feel a little moist around the house. Even little miss muffett is just lazin' around today. Too dark outside to play, an' she didn't even bark at the cat this morning!! But she made enuf noise at the cat last night to last for the next 4 days anyway, so being quiet today is jus' fine!!
