Just in case you drop in to my blog, Eileen....I'm writing this for you! Have been a blob on the blog lately...using my time to check in to FaceBook since so many family members (Jeff's) have been writing there. And I actually got to IM with Abram the other morning...on FaceBook. Is it any wonder I check in more frequently now? (Abram's doing good, by the way. Working and getting settled in...and keeping an upbeat attitude. He may or may not be staying at Bagram Air Base...but for now, he's there and it's not a horrible place to be, relatively speaking :-)
I'll be in Tulsa, with Tarajean...for the inauguration...while you are in your studio working. And then I'll be on the road headed back to Ozark while you are heading to CHA. I wish you a VERY good CHA....and lots of luck with procuring new projects! You are AMAZING, Bean!
Thanks for your email and sharing with me about the beautiful calligraphied name tags and place settings. So happy to hear that someone else did ALL the die cutting. HA That's a LOT OF WORK! And again, your calligraphy is stunningly gorgeous! Keep up the great work...and good luck with your meeting with the "save the date" gals. I know they're going to LOVE your stuff. Who wouldn't? It's beautifully creative and professional...
Okay, need to get some stuff in order for my long road trip...a quick trip to the commissary is in order...and packing up my sewing machine to work on a project in Tulsa...while Tarajean is working.
Oh...and I just checked in to your Blog...and shaking my head laughing....reading about your work hours. I am TOAST by 10 p.m....and if I could adopt your kind of schedule...AND be creative...I'd switch in a heartbeat.
I've started a new project....and will post it for you to see after we chat and I catch you up to date on the "life of Tarajean." She's doing good, Eileen.... and, well, let's see. I'm thinking I can give you a hint about what's happening in her life....but you only get one guess as to what it might be. So here's your clue: If you could name one thing...that brings you joy, like nothing else can...what would it be?
I love you, Eileen...and I miss you and think of you all of the time. I'm so glad you liked your "poppet." xoxoxoxoxox
