First, Happy Birthday to my Baby Girl!! Not such a baby to anyone but me now.  She turned 24 today.  It seems impossible! 

Since this is the age of Covid, we are having a family painting party ... got pottery from Five Monkeys to paint at home, then Dina will fire it at the shop for us.  She's accepting limited parties at the shop now, but with my whole host of health issues, taking it home to paint made more sense.  Actually painting from the comforts of our own home is fantastic!  



 I can do it in my pj's, just like i do work, and everything else in the last 5 months.  Except doctor appointments.  I dread the doctor, if for no other reason i have to wear my bra. 


OK in the studio, since i'm not selling basically this year, I'm working on reorganizing...... 


But I still find time to work on projects.  This is made with vintage / older pearls.  They are plastic but unused old stock, so in great shape and OK to use.  The pearl pendant is from a necklace that I salvaged for parts.  I've been playing with vintage jewelry bits lately.  I find sorting / digging in my piles very soothing, and then recycling them into new pieces.. always fun
This is my favorite new shirt.  Yes, it's a bunch of cats in blues, pinkish-purples on cobalt.  Who couldn't like it??? 


Well it looks like my pottery is dried enough for another layer.  Merry unbirthday to all, and Happy Birthday to my own Boo Boo!
