NOVEMBER 7th
Cold rainy days make it easy to do things like updating the websites. I maintain this website as well as Lewis' website lewiscwilson.com as well as do a check on the show supplies such as business cards, banners and clean out the "throw it in a box" show drapes, etc. I bought new table drapes as well as new curtains for the booth though the Rio Grande Show will have rented walls and drapes. I bought black "curtains" and I really am trying to figure out how to make them pop. Not sure I can but it's on the burner. I love the Rio Grande show because I do a lot of my Christmas shopping with the hundreds of artists. Not sure if my family appreciates receiving art but hopefully they will become enlightened to buying their own art.
My red apple truck still needs details and Lewis has been so busy making product for the show that I may have to step up and learn some new skills. I need a dog, squirrels and headlights. The headlights I can do but darn if those critters will take me over the edge of comfort. What's the worse that can happen? Of course, I could talk Jenn into doing them because she is fantastic with critters. We'll see what happens. Because of the show, we won't be doing a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
I now have nine violins waiting for my attention, one that is almost finished with daffodils and a mandolin that I have finished. I am also trying to get another mandolin but they aren't as easy to get as the violins. I keep thinking that every used violin I find belonged to someone who wanted to learn to play. Violins to me are the most romantic musical instrument [even though I find saxophones to be the sexiest]. Violins, wine, roses and pearls...maybe a little chocolate.
On the personal front, I discovered a bottle of bitters [with other things] that have put my digestive track in order. I think the old natural medicines have a lot to offer. I am also trying a CBD soap for my skin. It's not as velvety as regular soap and has no suds but I believe CBD might be helpful to a lot of things in life.
Today I will be making magnolias for an upcoming project. Light up your torch or turn up the heater and enjoy the day.
