Urban Craft Uprising - A creative Jugernaught

As I get ready for this weekends extravaganza of creative goodness. I started counting all that I have done since September to get ready for this opportunity.

• Paintings - 50 finished + one commission & two gift paintings = 53
• Jewelry - 44 prayer flag necklaces
• Pins - 25 for UCU Swag giveaways + 30 buttons + 40 zippity-doo-daa's = 105
• Sketchbooks - 1.5 in progress

So in a few months I produced 203.5 creative moments in my life... a blessing - OF COURSE! I adore my soul sister in creativity - Darcie! I can't wait for this weekend and hope to come home with just memories & some pocket money (hee hee)!

27 paintings varnished today

WOOP WOOP! I spent a fabulous painting day yesterday... at my dear friend, Darcie's home. We had a flurry of girls getting ready for overnights and homecoming. We set up for the day in the dining room and allowed creativity to blossom as we painted the day away.

As we get ready for UCU we needed to continue to produce paintings at a quick clip. We enjoyed our day. Today I varnished 27 paintings, put soup on for dinner, watched the Seahawks win and went to church! Wow it sounds like a lot and it was, but I feel great. As you can see, I had to use every available surface to dry these footies.

FREEMONT SUNDAY MARKET & MISSING CALENDARS

Darcie & I will be at Freemont Sunday Market sharing our wares. Yesterday we prepared about 50 substrates each for UCU & market season. It is refreshing to see a bunch of untouched canvases ready to splash paint on. We are working hard and loving it.

This is the thing - whenever you get moving on a project and start feeling really great about your progress - isn't it strange how life kind of balances out that excitement with HORROR? I have lost my daily planner and am totally unprepared for life without it. I have ripped apart a few places in my house, car, Jack's toys, and I am at a loss.

I am embarking on a Google calendar - I have friends who do their meal planning, family schedule & all calendarie things on Google. Pray for me... I am not the best at this I actually prayed this morning for guidance through this process (I am seriously concerned). I am also figuring out how to FLY with an electronic calendar.
