FanX 2024 day 2

I did not have the greatest start to my day. At 4 a.m. this morning, I work with pains in my legs and words in my head. Neither of those by itself is very conducive to a good night’s sleep, but I dealt with each of them even though I couldn’t find my pain killers, … Continue reading FanX 2024 day 2

FanX 2024 Day 1

What a delight to see so many returning faces! There are 2 volunteers who stop by my booth every year to say hi. I absolutely adore them. She is 6 months along on having their second baby. Then, I had several fans come by and pick up the next series. Thank you everyone. I am … Continue reading FanX 2024 Day 1

Set up

I’ll have pictures tomorrow, but I’m set up for FanX starting tomorrow. The booth looks really good with a lot of the art I’ve been working on this last week hanging up. I’ll do a few final touch-ups tomorrow before the show. I’m hoping to get some writing done. I’m tired, but a few words … Continue reading Set up

Finalize and reset

Paintings are all wrapped up in two secure bundles ready for transport. Wow. I did break my nearly 100 day streak of getting a minimum amount of words done, but there’s a good chance it would have been shattered this week anyway. I still got words done, just not my minimum goal. I woke up … Continue reading Finalize and reset

Done with the batch

Paintings have all been done. I’m tired, but now all I have left to do is to wrap them in a bundle. Even my smaller work has been bagged and tagged. I really can’t believe it took so long to get that project done, but I’m glad that it is. Now, I just have to … Continue reading Done with the batch

Why is there so much?

I knew this day would come. I very nearly forgot to write my blog today. Fortunately, I remembered and still have a few minutes left in the day, although my scheduled pets are telling me it is time to end the day so let’s start that nighttime routine. I still have paintings all over the … Continue reading Why is there so much?

So many paintings

I’ve spent yesterday afternoon and this evening working on getting paintings finished up and catalogued. I had to spend this afternoon shopping for supplies to do that. I have paintings al over my house. But, at least the needs done piles are starting to shift and the all completed bunch is growing. I tried to … Continue reading So many paintings

Turning the ship

I’ve been watching Farscape and I see why people have said that I’d like it because my stories remind them of the show. I swear, I am watching it for the first time. Today, I added some pumpkin spice hummus onto the Naan I use for my apple chickpea salad. It gave it a nice … Continue reading Turning the ship

Window of time

I finished another magnet today and got a good start on another small painting. This weekend is going to be a lot of finishing paintings. I have sides that need painted, wiring to do, varnishing, and photos. All the usual. Not to mention the bag-and-tag to do. I’m hoping to get a lot of this … Continue reading Window of time

Love for the Sacred Knight world

Yesterday I mentioned that I wanted to write about my Sacred Knight series. Let me start by saying that I love the world of my Sacred Knight series. It’s a world of magic which has been through several eras, even some where magic was suppressed. Even with my Sacred Knight and Onesong series combined, I … Continue reading Love for the Sacred Knight world
