We are back from a few days off and I have a lot to catch up on. Yeah, I know you are curious about those two things in the previous post. Not ready to talk yet. Don’t even know if I was ‘allowed’ to post them. The place they were created for is having it’s grand ribbon cutting next week, so I will give more description then.
So last weekend we escaped to Northern (lower) Michigan. We slept, then we slept, then we slept some more. The place we stayed is on a golf coarse and it was lovely. Would have been better without the golfers.

We visited Traverse City on a day that is was pouring rain and we didn’t mind getting wet at all. Apparently not to many other people did either because it was pretty busy. We found a bead store, a yarn store, a hat store, then a used record store, a used video game store/magic store and a musical instrument store. Then we lunched at a microbrewery and had some super yummy sandwiches. Needless to say we like Traverse City. On the way back we found Area 51

and a crazy fake animal place.

There was also a tree next to the highway that had an impressive collection of shoes in it. I tried to get a photo but it didn’t work out. Found this link, apparently a few other people find this interesting.

So it was a good break and we are feeling better than we did before we left.

Remember my gardening posts? Yup still got a garden! It has been a hard summer for some of the veggies and plants. Other plants have done really well. Like the tomatoes!

Already been pureeing them with some fresh basil and freezing them for the winter months. We were planning on canning some but the canning teacher may be busy for a while, so not sure if that will happen or not.

Then there is some other art stuff that has been going on too. I recieved word that several of my pieces will be in 1000 Artisan Textiles (yup, a book) coming out next May. So darn excited about that, can’t wait! Also have My Muse Box in the Fabrications art show going on this week in Kalamazoo.
As for future art I have random ideas for pieces mostly having no deep meaning behind them. So we will have to see what comes about if anything.
