A stash from Aves clay!

Today my supplies came from Aves! They graciously agreed to give us some Apoxie sculpt for the book. So of course, I immediately decided to make some earrings for tonight! I'm going to the Big Sing with the Tapestry singers tonight- hoping to join this all-women's chorus starting next Monday. One of my favorite things to do is make new earrings before going out- it's so easy and fun to have something new!

Writing a Book!

Well, our contract is almost negotiated and Ilysa and I have written our first two projects. It's tough work, I'm sure most how-to book authors will tell you that. Especially when you have to take your own photos and be sure to get all the steps written correctly and photographed just-so.

I'm lucky to have the apartment to myself in the mornings while hubby is at work so I can make a Gi-normous mess, including having my photo tent and lights everywhere.

Once the contract is signed and finalized, we will have permission to talk about it more :) 

Austin is HOT!

I thought living in Florida would have prepared me for this, but Austin is very very hot. On Saturday, I was down at http://thenatymarket.com, which I'm helping out with in hopes that it will become a vendor there this fall.
