I just have a little announcement: I'M GRADUATING THIS SUNDAY!!!! Yipeeeee, finally after 8 and 1/2 years I'm getting my BFA. I just finished hanging my artwork for the annual student art show, ahem.....my work happens to be hanging in the main gallery! If anyone is in the Manchester, NH area, take a look at the show. It's at the New Hampshire Institute of Art. The show starts Sunday and runs through July 17th. The artwork is located in three of the campus buildings. Sneak preview: Random Thoughts, collage on board, 28" x 30"?, $850.

Stowe, Vermont

I'm in Stowe, Vermont this weekend. It's raining, but that's ok, there's a bunch of us ladies sitting around quilting, sewing, and bitching. It's a Stitch 'n Bitch weekend getaway after all. But I'm here on a buying trip. There is a really good antique shop up here that I always get really good buys on assemblage supplies, ephemera and stuff.

This is Sweet Pea

A new addition.

New Hampshire Weather

I had no electricity or water for three days. No internet! Luckily we had heat from our propane stoves. And I could charge my phone in my car. This photo is of Derry, NH. It didn't seem this bad in Deering, but it must have been, a lot of us had no electricity.

This is a new assemblage I'm working on of a circus theme:

New Collage

I haven't left the studio all day. I've started a new collage and thought I'd post my progress.

Yellow Blinking Light

Well, my computer is dead. Dead, dead!

I tried to turn it on and only get a blinking yellow light on the "on" button. Everything is in that computer (I'm on my laptop now). But I saved everything in that computer. Okay, a lot of it was backed up, but a lot of it was not.

AND, my old camera works with that computer. My laptop does not. I have an Etsy store and need my old camera to take pictures of my stuff for sale. My new camera is sucky and I can't get good pictures.

poor, poor me......
