Spring is Here!

Spring has finally sprung here in Michigan!  Tulips, daffodils and hyacinths and so many flowers are unfolding and presenting a glorious array of colors.  Fills me with joy and sparks my creative juices and is spurring me on to get back into the studio after several months off.
I have so many people ask, what do you do over the winter? Good question, I’ve wondered the same thing over and over the last few weeks.  Where has the time gone that I’d planned to redo my studio and get things organized?  Then I realized I’ve worked all along.  The months of January & February were devoted to creating oodles of new vintage designs for a show that I did in February.  Then March rolled around and I grumpily gathered all those receipts and bits of paper that I’d failed to record last year, and forgot to enter into my books along with the yearend inventory for the tax man.  April, well that was set aside for a studio do over, however, my body had other ideas.  Several trips the doctor’s office over the winter, MRI’s and then on to the Spine Clinic to decide what to do with this deteriorating spine of mine.  Four new bad discs with more cracks and bulges than the hills of Kentucky lead me to having spinal nerve blocks.  As I write this I’m am recouping from the procedure they did this week.  One down one to go and I should be ready to go for my summer shows. 

Speaking of summer shows, I have applications out and am awaiting acceptance.  I will post them later today.  Yes, Spring has sprung and I can’t wait for summer to unfold!
