All hands on Deck!

Hello all, back after missing in action for the last couple of weeks. I was unable to post Since I was leaving ealrly for San Francisco to house sit and visit friends before Halloween and Vine. Consequently the was a mad rush to finish for the show. In the end it was all hands on deck and late evenings. So musch so that if you look closely I’m wearing a wrist support in one of the photos, it helps with shoulder pain.

If all goes as planned, the shipping arrives on time and I’m well recieved at the show it will all be worth it. Actually getting to meet all the other talented artist and making new freinds and followers alone will be worth it.

After a very long connecting flight from Boston we arrived in San Francisco late Tuesday evening, or I should say Wednesday morning by east coast time, I was paged over the intercom. I knew that the overhead voice bore no good tidings. Indeed it turned out that our luggage was left in Boston, of course I had packed some last minute items that were missed in the mass shipping for the show, Arrgh! I didn’t feel as bad when the other unfortunate passengers with missing luggage turned out to be a bride whose wedding dress was missing. By the next morning all was well, at least for us as our luggage was delivered.

The weather is a little warm for San Francisco , not to mention me but it is still beautifull. I can’t wait for next week, the show is only 10 days away.

By the way
