Fall is here!

It is cooling down here in Wilson! It was 47 yesterday morning and actually cold in the house. I did not want to get out of bed and neither did Fred or Wesley! We finally got out of bed and started our day.

This has been a hard week. Last weekend we started clearing the back corner of the yard to start putting up the Fred Fence! The pile for branches and wines was huge.  And yes there was poison ivy in there! And it found me... my face, neck, wrists and ankles are covered with blisters.  Having my friend Cindy helping sure makes the job go faster and more interesting. We even had a contest to see how many wacks it took us to drive the t-posts in. My record is 14. Fred is going to be so surprised when he is finally running around it in the yard. We put a back door on the screen room so we can just let Fred out through there instead of walking out kitchen door and opening gate. I will take photos when it is all done.
I am working on a commission piece for my friend Tedd. It is a a Green Bay Packer panel. This is it cut out, still need to grind, wrap with copper foil, solder and frame.  Here is a photo of it on the workbench. 

I have few other pieces on the bench that are in the works.... a job to complete for a student, a repair job and 2 commissions to work up.

Are you ready for fall? Do you have any big projects on your plate? I love the season with all the soup options. The squashes are calling me to throw them in the soup pot. I need to find some seasoned firewood. I did get the fireplace screen put up and the cracks were sealed. Looking forward to a fire in the fireplace this winter with Fred and Wesley curled up in front of it.

Thank you for everyone that supported American Craft Week at Art Happens on Tarboro.  I am looking for new projects that we can do next year. If you have any ideas for classes or workshops that you would like to take or like to teach please let me know. Would love to share the experience with you!

Happy Fall to you!

Remember to keep art in your heART!
