Hooray!

They're done! Done!! (the pot holders, not the paintings.)
And only a month late!

I feel like a weight has lifted, enabling me to focus on more interesting things, and I'm excited. A couple of lil' pot holders might not seem like much, rather anti-climactic for those of you who received them, (sorry,) but for me they took a lot of effort. I did make about 50 of them after all. So if you got some please use them, tell me if they hold up alright, and think of that wonderful person who made them for you and just how great she is.

Ha. ha.

Uhm, there's this other thing goin' on that I'm looking forward to, and have been quietly preparing for this last week. On Monday I'll be taking a 6 hour art class (my first art class in 10 years,) at my neighbour's studio with a handful of other people. Pat is a fantastic artist who creates beautiful paintings... My favourites are her landscapes that have this warm, inviting light, I just want to step into them and stay awhile. I'm pretty pumped about the whole thing. I've got my photos printed and ready to go, I suppose I just have to dig out my acrylics and maybe prime my canvas.

Well, I guess now that those xmas gifties are all done, I can work more on that crazy thing hanging in the dining room tonight. Dinner's been cooking since 6am, (thank you for the 5am wake-up Sullivan, much appreciated,) so I've got a pretty open schedule this evening. My new best friend is my slow cooker, or shall I say my three slow cookers. They're all going right now, making my house warm and yummy-smelling. Hugh + LT, if you're reading this, get jealous. Two of those cookers are full of pulled pork n baked beans. Yum!
