Puttering and hobbling

It was sooooo stinking hot and humid outside yesterday that I only ventured out once to jump into the pool (which is currently recovering from a lovely shade of swamp-water). So instead of much needed outdoor preparations, I stayed in and tidied the studio to ready it for nosy visitors on Saturday. It is slowly coming along.


In very exciting news my fresh signs arrived. Some girls have a thing for shoes, apparently I have the same reaction to new signage. Yes, it still looks a bit hobbled together, but not nearly as hobbled as it did before.


I'm totally not prepared (I think I say that every year) but I'm trying not to stress over it too much. However, I am glad these two showed up to lend a hand...


What could possibly go wrong when you have fairy helpers?!

Note: The answer to that is 'anything and everything' but we'll pretend like everything is going to be hunky-dory.

Better late than never, here is the official invite:


And if horrible terrible things are more to your tastes, I'll be having a 'goblin market' open house in October for all of awful things I make.

    I live in Central Oregon (Redmond) and it was stinkin' HOT here yesterday. Hope it's cooler today, but I doubt it. Great signage!

      Thanks! I'm trying not to get too stressed... I think I'm going to need more chocolate to calm me down.

    Ohhhh the hot and humid weather can only mean that the outdoor creatures and folk had some of their own "rearranging" and preparing to do and did not want to be interrupted! I am sure they were "helpful" in their own way. . . or at least, they believe so. :)

    Looks like a magical experience is in store for all of those who attend! Much love and light being sent your way for the big day!! May the fairies be in true "service" mode and saving all their mischief for the rest of the summer days.

      Here's hoping they hear your little blessing and don't decide on playing havoc!
