27 Degrees this morning!

I guess winter is coming, this morning it was hard to get out of bed and touch the cold hardwood floors to let Fred out. And then when we went for our morning walk I was glad to have hiking boots and gloves on. Brrrr! Luckily I have forewood already stacked and set to go. I did think about a fire in the fireplace last night when it was 37 but opted out because I would have to go out and carry wood in. Yes I am a weenie!

Fall has been good for me- classes, commissions and sales are picking up. I even took a class myself....... hold on for it...... welding! Yes I took a welding class at the Wilson Community College. We just finished this week. Learned oxy/acetylene, stick and MIG welding. I loved them all but my favorite is oxy/acetylene... love to turn and burn! Made a dog out of scrap steel and started on a bicycle wheel spinner that will have stained glass in it. Lots of practice pieces that I kept (to put in my scrap book!- just kidding!)
This afternoon I close on the loan to do the repairs to the facade.... finally. It has been exposed since February 8. I can not wait for the job to be done! The front has looked like hell for long enough and I will be happy not to have buckets in the window during rain storms and having to come empty them in the middle of the night.

I finished the commission for Barnes Corner Gallery. The number sticker has to be removed so it can't be seen. I love the cardinals. It was fun to work with Pegi Barnes Sharp designing and hanging these three pieces.

How was your Thanksgiving? I hope you had a wonderful meal. This has been a different year for all of us for sure. I am so thankful for all my family and friends and the ability to work with my hands and keep busy. I am even in a book club!

What do you have planned for the holidays? I was not going to decorate my house but I now think I will. It just would be sad not to. Even if it is just Fred the Studio Dog, Wesley the Studio Cat and me.

Hope you are all well and staying safe.

Remember keep art in your heART.
