I can hardly believe it is mid August already. This summer has flown by at an astonishing pace. I'm just finishing up a few pieces for the Downtown Art Market this weekend and then I've got an entire month, yes one whole month, when I don't have to meet any deadlines except of my own making. I can not begin to tell you how good that feels. Not having to get in the car and drive more than 5 minutes feels pretty darned good too. The very best part of all is that I've got all this time to follow up on ideas that have been accumulating in my mind and as sketches on scraps of paper. Except for making that star fish necklace, I definitely feel myself moving into an autumn mood. Now if the weather would just cooperate and drop those temperatures below 90F. Actually, I'd be happy with below 80F.
On the wedding front, plans are just falling into place like magic. We have a beautiful location, we have the dress, and now we have the minister who coincidentally meditates daily in the botanical gardens where the wedding is going to be held. I'm not really much given to signs, portents, and omens, but when things come together as effortlessly as this wedding has, I just have to feel like it is something that is meant to be. It's only a little over a month away. I can hardly wait to see my son home again, even if it's only for a month. I can hardly wait to see him together again with Tammy.

Love the necklace! I'm so glad the plans are going so well! Have fun at the art market!
Isn't it wonderful when you feel caught up enough to feel like you can try out those ideas that have been stirring around in your head?
Hope the weather is a little more accommodating by the wedding!
A very pretty summery necklace.
Love the necklace. I am still hoarding my starfish pendant ;-)
Glad to hear the wedding planning is progressing nicely!!
I love weddings! How exciting, I am sure it will be just beautiful! How wonderful it will be to have your son home.
Oh Gosh LeAnn,
It sounds like you have stumbled into the gates of Xanadu in the land known as Artist Nirvana!!! I sure hope you left a bread crumb trail or took your GPS with you!!! :) Have a wonderful month of making art for just you!! You certainly earned it Lit'l sis!!!

Love the necklace! I'm ready for summer to be over, too. Summer in Phoenix is wretched.
That necklace is gorgeous LeAnn!
So glad everything is going smoothly for you, and I am so excited for you also! Savour this time!
No, say it isn't so! I'm not ready for the end of summer. I remember full well (out here on the East Coast) just how cold the winter was! I love your new summery necklace...it's beautiful.

Love the starfish necklace! And happy to hear things are progressing so well for the wedding! Wishing you some days of delicious creating and maybe you could send a couple of excess degrees over here - our summer is fumbling about at around 21°C = 70°F.
I do think that things happen for a reason, LeAnn. The fact that the minister meditates in this garden means it will be a powerfully moving experience. I am wishing you smooth sailing through the rest. Blessings to all.
Enjoy the day!
Erin
