The Show Must Go On!


I've been really busy preparing for my upcoming show
(if you click on the Upcoming Exhibits and then Winter Exhibit'
you'll see more about my show!)
There were so many loose ends to tie together,
and I get tired -
really tired - these days!
(I've completed 5 rounds of chemo now,
and for the most part, I feel really good.
I've become a great napper,
and enjoy doing so after lunch most afternoons.)

So, back to my show preparations:
I was all set to deliver everything to "the Q"
yesterday afternoon when the UPS man arrived
with a package of feather findings
that I had ordered from Etsy eons ago.
I had thought that these findings were coming
from the U.S.,
but no:
they came from China -
and apparently on the very slowest boat!
But, they arrived just in the nick of time!!!
So, I spent this afternoon
(or what was left of it after my nap!)
attaching a few feather findings to




Aren't these feathers fun???!!!
The best part is, I have three extra feathers!
Two earrings and one necklace,
I'm thinking!

Here are the backs of a few of my pieces,
ready to roll (literally):



It's been so long since I've posted
that I wonder if anyone will read this?
I hope so.
I miss you guys!!!
If you do read this, thanks for not giving up on me!

I hope you have a great weekend!

Peace to you and yours!

These feathers are wonderful! I can hardly wait until next Thursday...it's like a giant early Christmas present! And I'm so glad you're napping diligently. Love you!

Well you know I am still here. :) I love those feathers, both on the art and the metal ones. Well worth waiting for. I hope Craig or Kristin take lots of photos of the show for us that can't be there. Rest and take it easy, you have some big days ahead. Sending love and hugs.

Nap away, Judy -- sleep is Nature's healer. This piece is just fabulous, what I can see -- I hope for more photos from the show! Love to you.
