This week has flown by! I have learned so much is it not funny. Long story short- I changed my website over to Weebly from Yahoo and ended up loosing my website ans email for two days! It was very traumatic. Can you imagine no email for two days? Ok maybe when you are on vacation but just during a regular work week? I am recovered and I think my family has only minor damage from me loosing it. It was not pretty at all. I either spoke or chatted with MelbourneIT and Lycos (domain registrar) and Yahoo and Weebly (website hosts) for three days. If only I could add them to my contacts list I would probably double my email list! No seriously, I did learn a lot about  myself and how easily I get upset when things not in my control happen. Note to self: stop, step back and relax... it will work out if you are patient and calm. Oh one bad thing, I did loose all my blog posts from 2010-2014, very sad. Lots of good stories lost. By chance did anyone copy them? If so please email them to me and I will send you a present.

So all week I have been getting ready for two shows this weekend. Saturday is The Art Market at Del Ray Artisans in Alexandria. Sunday is Old Town Manassas Art Exhibit at the Harris Pavilion, hosted by Art Beat Gallery. It will be a full weekend for sure. I am looking forward to it. On Saturday I have help setting up as Berto is coming with me. It will be good for him to see what is involved with this part of my life. He is very supportive and this will show him yet another aspect of art as a career. If you are out and about please stop by and visit. Not too early to think about holiday gifts you know!

My classes for the fall are filling up. If you are thinking of taking a stained glass class I have openings in my Monday morning and Wednesday evening classes starting next week at the Workhouse Arts Center. Or if Saturday morning is more your speed for stained glass then Fairfax Parks and Rec had a class for you, starting September 27. And if jewelry making is what you want to learn then Fairfax Parks and Rec has a class starting next week or at the Center for the Arts in October. And last be not least is Kumihimo September 27 in Manassas at the Center for the Arts. Shameless promotion! I also have classes at my Studio that can be scheduled to fit your schedule.

So I know I will be having an arty weekend. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and that maybe our paths will cross, till then remember to keep art in your heart.
