| Winchester Mystery House |
It’s been a while, lets see…Where to start? Well, in May I had a birthday while at Super Con in San Jose. For those of you who are not aware my husband is an artist and I travel with him to various Comic book conventions around the U.S and beyond. Also deal his art on Comic Art Fans. That said… It was a good weekend . On my birthday we left the Con early and were able to go to the Winchester Mystery House. Was a real treat for me since I never got to go while I was living there. Got to spend some time with my brother which I don’t see often enough and also some good friends we only see about twice a year.
Besides traveling with my husband I have really been side tracked with this and that….This and that has not had much to do with creating new things. As I’m sure many creative people already know, sometimes you just hit a wall of question marks (or something similar) and I hit that wall hard. So shortly after last summer I decided I was going to retire from making things to sell. I really just felt like I wasn’t contributing anything to this whole “Creative” thing and was just spinning my wheals and getting no where fast! This made me want to retreat and I did to some degree.
After proclaiming this to my Family, which is really supportive but at the same time thought I was loosing my mind and frankly thought I was lying (mostly to myself ,Hahaha. They were all right!) I thru myself into….making a raised bed garden and paving my little patch of desert that I call my back yard. Yes, that’s right gardening and yard work. Have to thank my husband for supporting my garden endeavor, It actually takes up a lot of time! Even now when I don’t spend half as much time out there. He’s like “ Are you out there again!” it’s true I’m always tying to do one last thing before were about to go somewhere, But really it’s hot out here sometimes they need a little extra love. ;-) It is now way to hot for me to be working in the day on the pavers and cement work I have yet to finish, either I move the work to 6am or late evenings or I will not get to it until fall. Summer in Albuquerque is HOT folks!
A few weeks ago I started getting e-mails and letters from shows I was in last year. I automatically felt like I had to send them back saying…. Yes! I want to be in this years show. Then the realization that I have not made anything in a few months (well, nothing to sell). I just really felt and urge to get back to it and with this came a bunch of ideas and plans. I had plans ( before my retirement) to have new stuff in the shops in conjunction with my Robots and Lost girls that were accepted to “Stuffed Magazine” ( July 1st) but it looks like I have come out of retirement to late!!! Yikes! So sad….this explains why I have a bunch of the same stuff in my shops. So now with my new found creative energy I am eager to get back into the swing of things. I have signed up for “We Art the People” already will post other shows soon.
That is the short of it, well? Some of it. Thought I’d share some of my square foot garden attempted and other photos.

Gardens can be wonderful places that can effectively whisk you away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and take you to a place of serenity, calmness and tranquility where you can sit back and relax; forgetting about work and concentrating on nothing except your favorite tipple.Morethan it is all also very much important to maintain your garden.
