Time Marches On

...or in my case, is in a full out sprint.
Panic set in today as I stood in the very
recently remodeled ribbon isle at my local
craft store. As another chorus of Jingle Bells
filled the air I realized that the retailers
have already moved on to the holiday of
HoHo happiness. That overwhelming feeling
of being behind took hold as I'm no where
near ready to start whipping out the chubby
cherubs nor tinseled trees. After a long,
deep cleansing breath, I was able to regroup,
grab a spool of Halloween ribbon
(now in the clearance isle)
and continue on with my preparations for the
onslaught of ghosts and goblins who are about
to haunt my home in the coming weeks.
Though I can't stop the hands of time,
I plan on celebrating this holiday as if
I have time on my hands.

House Guests

All work and no play makes Melissa a
happy gal! Last week was one of those rare and
gloriously productive weeks where I was able to
make serious headway on the multitude of munch kins
that have been inhabiting my studio in various stages
of completion. After a few more final touches, I will
be posting one on eBay, one in etsy and the rest will be
added to the inventory of whimsical creatures that
will be accompanying me to my upcoming Fall show.
Wishing you all a week of creative abundance!

A long time coming
