• Long Time

  Wow!  It's been a long time since I updated this blog.

  
  

  The Exposed Artists' Market at Southside Works went well.  Again, I sold mostly smaller items, but did sell 3 clocks.  This is the first crafts fair where I made rather more than the fee for the space - another plus in my mind.  But boy was it tiring!

  
  

  Since then, Tom & I visited Eric, and he and Lori just visited here - about 2 weeks later.  In Chicago, though, I got to meet Lori's boys - who mostly ignored the adults and went about their own business as 6 and 8 year olds tend to do.

  
  

  Friday morning, I made all my unfinished clocks into actual clocks.  Here are some quick photos of them.  They are all sitting on the countertop in my work area, running, so I can be sure they actually keep time.  I've had a couple cases where the clockworks were faulty, so thought I'd better check.  Tomorrow I'm taking most of them to a consignment-type shop near the Galleria Mall off Route 28.  La Belle Emporium, it's called.  It's a start-up in a former record store - LOTS of space available!

            

  And here is Itty-Bitty-Kitty investigating the second hand as I attempted to get a better picture of the last clock by putting it on the floor so I could get higher above it:
