Happy Fall Equinox!

Spent almost 3 weeks being busy canning [salsa, bread & butter pickles, plum jam, Kosher dill pickles, and zucchini relish] and freezing corn, brocoli, cauliflower, green beans as wells as making quart jars of tomato soup, potato leek soup, broscht, chicken broth and beef stew. first time in quite a while that I've been able to fill the freezer with harvest from Olympia Farmer's Market, Westside FM and GRUB Farmstand.

News from The Fine Art Exhibit @ WA State Fair - sold Cat Zen, an 14"X11" framed Sumi-e.
Since my camera doesn't work I don't think I took a photo of it...

Arts Walk is almost here - first weekend in Oct - and I haven't finished any of the odd little projects I started

Many of the local Etsy team have started to make the tranistion to Amazon's new handcraft section. Will be interesting to see what happens. I never finished my Aftcra store. - need to purchase a digital camera body so I can use a macro lens that I have.... then I can make better images of my work.

Only my basic drawing class [8 week] and one Saturday workshop have run. Puzzled. Maybe I need to rewrite the blurb for the classes.
Art is art and there are only so many ways to present basic classes.

Keep arting folks...
