Procrastinating
At the studio procrasinating a bit. I have a lot of commissions, and I need to get on them because they're for Christmas gifts. At least I won't be as lame as Amazon. I placed an order today, November 27, and they can't guarantee it to arrive by Christmas. That's with the free shipping of course. Oh well, most of the stuff is for me. Including this gorgeous book. That's the hold-up I think; delivery for that is 3 to 6 weeks.
Other gifts will mostly come from craft fairs and Etsy. My current favorite seller is Paraphernalia. I got a gorgeous goldfish necklace there and I constantly get comments on it. Items come from Australia though and it takes a while. For immediate gratification I will be paying visits to Rare Device, The Curiosity Shoppe, and Stumasa. If there is anyone reading this who has not yet been to Stumasa, get to Cole Valley immediately - it's incredible.
Orange County hottie and friend Suzanne put together some great gift lists, this one and this one and here and here and just a couple more. She has done a lot of work digging out some truly wonderful things. Plus, you should all be reading her anyway. She's brilliant, funny, and sly.
Sly, that's a word I don't use often. I mean it as a compliment. It can be a good thing, right?
Here are some 49 Mile Drive signs in various colors. I love doing these.
(Eric just brushed my cheek with the softest paintbrush ever and told me it was baboon hair. I believed him for a second.)
Thanks Annie. In my whole life no one has EVER called me brilliant. And I love being called sly. It is a compliment, no doubt about it.
