I have been lurking in my friend Betsy's online life for sometime now. I don't mean in a creepy way. We went to college together and it is fun top see how our lives bend and turn. Two week ago I took a starter class for encaustic wax and feel in love. Today I read my friends blog and discovered she too is embracing "the way of the wax". I envy her for always keeping art in her life. I have recently been trying to make it more important in my life. This last 6 months has been a lot of fun - even though some of my supplies are dried up or to old to use. Some of the funnest things, besides working with hot wax have been exploring using fabrics for things other than quilts. My friend Karen and I spent an afternoon drinking wine and creating fabric atc cards. I can't wait to do more.

Whoot! Got a Job.

I start next Monday on my new job. I am very excited and a little scared to be going to such a small company but there are so many upsides to it. I will hopefully get to do a little of everything. I also love that it is sooooo close to my home. I can come home at lunch to play with Finn.

The day the tree came down

Today I had the tree guys take down two trees in my backyard. They are amazing and not afraid of heights. I can not believe how much more sky I can see. This will help a lot in the upcoming winter. I can see a lot more of the water too. The only bad thing is what my plants look like. The ones under the tree are going to have to grow a lot next spring. I will keep my fingers crossed.
