After a whirlwind tour of Dallas…
just about a full twenty-four hours of “glitter gig” fun…
it was great to be back on my bike yesterday to enjoy the recent time change.
Too bad the clouds weren’t playing along.
Just a lot of gray. And a LOT of wind.
Beautiful blues at the start of my ride.
Dingy grays towards the end of my ride.… and still no sign of a sun rising anywhere?!!!
My friend Kristen has a couple wonderful kids… and a wonderful idea!
Her son AJ is adorable… AND asking for a HUGE set of Legos for Christmas.
But he’s old enough to learn the truth and work hard to get the “set of his dreams.”
So Kristen made him a deal. And set him on his path of fundraising and art.
If you have a chance to stop by to support my friend AJ… and be a patron of his blossoming art career… please mark your calendar for this coming Friday evening.
Beat Kitchen : 2100 West Belmont, Chicago.
Friday, November 7th – 6:00pm-Midnight.
Here’s a little more background from my friend Kristen…
Last Sunday was STUNNING.
Sunny, clear and full of Fall color everywhere you looked.
But with the sudden decline of the weather this week… cold, rain, gusty winds and even snow… I’m pretty sure this is the last of the Fall colors we’ll see this year. I hope you enjoy my Fall photo tour along the lakefront from last Sunday… and that it might keep you “warm” through the frozen months to come!
Today I finished up my latest batch of Christmas ornaments. A little more detailing, hand-built caps and some color slip accents. Drying now, but will soon go into my next soda kiln firing. Just in time for my Holiday Home Show the weekend before Thanksgiving. Mark your calendar… November 22nd & 23rd, 2014.
In the category of “classroom crazy”…Â I saw this sign last night on a student’s shelf. It made me laugh as though they thought someone might randomly decide to grab the piece off the shelf, take it all the way to the other end of the building to fire it in the kiln for no apparent reason?! Really? Not to be out-done by the brilliant organizational skills evident in the surrounding shelf “space”… or lack of therein.
