The studio was such a zoo this weekend!  Thanks to everyone, near and far, who came to the Methow Valley to support me and the artist community here.  It was such a pleasure to meet you, hug you and in most cases, send you off with a piece of my work!

I’m off to the high country tomorrow on a quick shoot before I begin to photograph leftover work and list it in my Etsy shop.  I need a little break from this space before I begin to pack it up and wind it down for the summer season.  Preparing for this open studio tour was VERY wonderful for me.  It was a concentrated patch of studio time…such as I haven’t had in a long while.  Just beautiful.

I can’t believe we’re already in transition again out of this fire season and into the next leg of life.  It seems too soon, in a goldilocks-y kind of way (as in, JUSsssSSSsssT right).  Did I tell you yet?  We’re headed back to Idaho for the winter!  We’ll be in the strawbale house for a full six months.  I’m already itching to get set up and working again never mind getting out into chukar country to stroll around with the dogs.  Rob and I are feeling free and are looking forward to some solitude with each other.

Hang tight for an updated Etsy shop.  It’s on the way, by and by.

First, I must sleep.
