I cannot believe that it is already October-my summer disappeared before I even saw it coming! But, I have to say, I love Fall, the cooler temps in particular.
If you know me, you'll know that a lot has changed in my life even this past month! Number One, I now have a cat! We've never had a cat of our own. Our kids had cats, well, one kid had cats. But we've always had dogs. A lot happened over the summer and now I have a cat named Mama who was a stray that our youngest daughter saved from the streets along with her 4 kittens. Well, little did she know, the mom was already pregnant AGAIN and then had another 6 kittens! All were living in our daughter's appartment in NC. So I went down to help deal...we placed all 6 baby kittens with good homes, the 4 older ones, my daughter still has and is trying to place them. But I took Mama! She's adjusting pretty well, thank goodness. We're all adjusting!
Number Two, I decided to join a co-op, downstairs, ground parking level, in the Piano Works Mall in East Rochester, directly behind the new Taco Bell. The opening for The Artisan Cove, will be on November 1st and it will be open 7 days a week from 10am to 6pm. There will be places for classes, events, and space for artists and artisans to sell their handmade items with over 60 vendors in the 5000 square foot space! You must drop in the see all the fabulous things at this great shop and it's so much easier to find than my gallery!!
Number Three, I have for the first time in my life painted a couple of Santa's, a vampire, some pumpkins and snowflakes! Yes, I've gone normal! Lol, not really but almost like other people who paint holiday items every year. For some reason, I never have. Well, I have now! This is my year of FIRSTS! You'll have to drop in to see them!! I'll still be in my gallery for public hours three days a month with the possiblity of private appointments 5 days a week!
Number Four, I now have puzzles available with my artworks! I love them! They are on my print website and they can be extremely challenging with a 1000 small pieces! (Or you can get a smaller one at only 500 pieces.) Hit the button below to go to my print site to see over 500 possible puzzles, almost all of my art pieces!
