I haven't gotten artwork done this weekend. I've been reorganizing a few areas- so I can move my photography and shipping stations. I've been waiting a year to do this reorganization, because there was a big obstacle in my way, an old Mosler safe in the basement. I've never seen it locked. It's been moved once, into an inconvenient spot, before we moved in. It is just a darn cool thing to have down there- but in the way. Bill and I have been hunting for our prybar for a year, yes a year. I found it the other day, in plain but well camouflaged sight, in the garage. Sooooo- yes, I moved the safe!
Inch by inch...

Bill wanted to help, but after the summer of health issues, I said no. He coached and photographed instead.
Now I've got my photography and shipping area moved into the right spots. I can get on with studio work again, if the kids let me. I believe my Sunday assignment is pumpkin pie.
I'm starting to hunt down handmade holiday gifts for the kids. At their ages, they mostly like techno gifts. I still try to track down unique handcrafted items and art/craft kits. Here's a nice shopping list I came up with on Artfire (my new selling venue). With handmade, I really need to get an early start. These goodies aren't mass produced by cheap labor in a sweatshop. They might run out, so I need to plan ahead.
Let me know if you see other handmade gift ideas that would appeal to "tween" boys and girls, especially boys. It's so hard to find handmade boy gifts for the tween age. It's ok if you buy a few of these. I'm sure the artists will be happy to make more.
For Autumn themed leafy gifts, take a look at this collection curated by bluejane. It's all leaf themed handmade gift items, really beautiful stuff including sculpture, photography, jewelry, glass and ceramics.
