Just for equal time, my friend Barbara sent me this Palin/McCain cartoon:
Switching Gears:Our church's Festival of the Arts begins with the Preview Party on Saturday evening. I'm slowly but surely winding things up around here. This cami has been a long process of complex cloth, but I think I finally found the answer last week when I decided to batik it and then overdye it one more time. I just love how it has turned out. I don't think I'll put it on my table for sale, but I wanted to show you now.

I have a funny story to tell you about the circular motif that is in the center of the detail shot above. C and I were walking Barker in Midtown one day when he hiked his leg on a fire hydrant. I glanced down on the other side of the hydrant, and there was this wonderfully round black object that I just had to have. I said something to C about it, and he gave me the most horrified look and then muttered something about not picking up any object that was next to a fire hydrant. So I grabbed one of the 'doggie poop bags' that we always carry with us when we walk Barker in the city, and carefully picked up the object. I brought it home and sterilized it....isn't it a great stamp!!!Here is October Sky with Ginkgos, another of my favorites:

If you haven't seen this amazing YouTube of the dancing dog, take a peek, it is quite amazing and the accompanying music is awesome!
