Oh no, it is going to get COLD here this week!  It's about 15 degrees outside right now and guess what?  That's what will pass for a high temperature this week.  On Thursday the high temp is supposed to be 2. 

See...it's so lovely in the summertime; the sun sets at 9:30 PM and it's warm and 80-ish for most of the summer and the lake moderates the temperatures and blunts the force of storms (so we never get tornadoes or scary stuff like that) and it's just plain glorious.  The flipside?  Well, I'm living on the flipside of all that right now.  *sigh*  Three more months...just three more months.  By April I'll be on the bike trails again.

In the meantime I'm keeping myself super busy!

Another "Harlequin Romance" mask.   You know...I actually really like doing them!

I also worked on a bunch of little dragon half-masks 'cause I had a lot of Etsy requests for those.






Oh, and hey I figured out a sure way to get swamped with orders; just announce "I'm bored!  Got any suggestions for fun new ideas?" in my LJ.  Apparently it's a lot like washing your car (and then it rains).  But I'm still working on a gothic cathedral mask & a "Great Wave" mask.  'Cause yeah, the artist has to love what she does or it's about as much fun as being an accountant.

Meanwhile, my middle is finally beginning to feel better after my bout of ab-workout-stupidity.  I totally crippled myself!  Well, it was a good weekend to stay in and get some work done anyway, I suppose.

By the way; I saw a movie called "Little Children" on HBO.  Kate Winslett was in it...it was an incredible movie but absolutely disturbing.  What "Desperate Housewives" wants to be (if it was a serious study about truly desperate, selfish housewives and not just a silly romp).   Anyway it was one of those movies that stays with you & makes you think...a lot like "American Beauty" in many ways.   I love movies like that.

More work to do!  I still have a few Etsy requests to finish today.

PS: Actually a line of exotic flower masks might be interesting, also...or exotic leaf masks. Something out of the ordinary. You may believe I could easily help you find some interesting plant varieties if you were ever interested in something like that. :)

Ooh, toad lily mask...it would look all alien...
