DC Big Flea-Here I Come!!!!
I got my confirmation yesterday that I'm definitely in the DCBF this weekend. Good to know 'cause I gotta take my first load tomorrow night and gotta pack for the rest. Plus finish tagging, photographing, and put the finishing touches on several pieces. Yet here I am, blogging. I had other things I HAD to do here so it's just a break from the hard work I've already put in this morning. See you there...I'm in the South (big, main) building, booth number 543 which I believe is the back half between the middle isle and the right side wall...FYI. Pray for me and my wallet, please, it's not just for me.
If Not Now, When?
The woman, above, called 911 just in the nick of time. She was admonished for calling regarding the emergency for this situation. If you can't use 911 for this kind of emergency then when can you call? What constitutes an emergency? What is the definition of "emergency" anyway? And did we ever get that answer about what defines "sex"? Please watch the video by clicking on the link bar below. Don't forget to pause the music playlist before clicking on the vidie bar. It's an amazing, heart-warming story about our priorities in society today. Or perhaps more study fodder for hormone treatment therapy...you decide.
Mind Wide Open March Challenge Submission
If you click on the sidebar image you will go to Mind Wide Open and you can submit an art piece for their March Challenge.
Here's my submission for the challenge. I call it "Take Me to Where Spring Is". I will have this piece for sale at the DC Big Flea this weekend only Dorothy and Toto will be in the basket. I shall let y'all know if I win anything from the challenge. It did inspire me a lot to do this, actually as a combo of what I was already working on but still...you can click on the photo to see it enlarged and a better view. Thanks for looking.

Breaking News...Maryland Woman Diagnosed with New Syndrome...Film at 11
New syndrome-yikes! It's PTCWFS or Post Traumatic Casper Wyoming Flashback Syndrome. I'm not trying to trivialize folks in and from wars or folks in Fargo, ND, but I felt this real flashback today when I woke up to 9" new inches of snow and 20-30 mph winds. Okay, I know that I've said that if all I have to complain about is the snow, I am very blessed and it is so true. But I do have some real pathologies that I deal with day to day and this weather has been bugging me and I've been complaining the last couple of weeks and karma bit me in the butt for it today. Perspective? It's not six months out of the year, it's already over, it's probably only going to get better.
I've been making and making and making more in preparation for, hopefully, the DC Big Flea this weekend. I didn't send in my paperwork until last week so have not heard definitely either way back from them. I'm guessing that I'll get in, I certainly hope so because I've "worked" so hard already.
Enough talk of the 9" and counting (it's snowing very heavy right now) I'm distracting myself with t.v., redecorating, and making art. Above is an example of making and redecorating. I got the frame, little shelf, and little frame from...do I have to say it?...The Pink Cabbage. The frame was already the perfect color but I unashamedly painted the gold leaf frame and little shelf a bright fuscia (couldn't get the color exact on here), popped all three on the wall and added the trophy, dressed up, that Nene gave me for Christmas and a large bees keep pin I've had for a while. Voila! I was perked up and so is my bathroom.
And, flipping around the channels, I came across this movie, How to Make An American Quilt. I was instantly, completely taken in by it; it's a fabulous movie. I realized pretty quickly that I'd read the book many years ago but didn't know there was a movie. See it if you can whatever the weather where you are; it's moving, funny, entertaining, and uplifting and not fluffy. However, I would have totally gone with the beautiful guy in the pickup with the strawberries-yowzer!-but that's just me...
Guess where I want to be right now? Hint-it's not Fargo. Exactly a month from today we'll be THERE-yahoooooo!
