It's been a mixed bag lately. On one hand, I am very excited to be going to Bead & Button in Milwaukee and spending time with my family at Green Girl Studios and seeing all my bead show buddies. That I am absolutely thrilled about and cannot wait for.

On the other hand, my allergies morphed into a rather nasty cold that I can't quite shake. Working long hours doesn't contribute well to my recovery. I could elaborate on the grossness of my recently malady, but would rather not disgust everyone with stories of mucus. I never knew that humans could make that much mucus a day.

I've been making lots of projects for the upcoming show, but as there are only a few days left until I've got to leave, I don't know how much I'll be able to finish. We'll see.

I just found out that the Journal of Mythic Arts is no more. They've posted their last entry. It's a shame because I've only just now found them and was so very enamored with their posts. Luckily they will remain an online presence - just as an archive though.

My move to Sunset Park is a good one. Though it is progressing much slower than I had planned. It's mainly due to the fact that I've been sick and I've been trying to spend every last second trying to get ready for the upcoming show. After the show, I'll really get cracking on getting things packed up and finished painted.

Oh and I've been desirous of a Kiki Smith shirt from the Gap. They've released a limited edition line of shirts commemorating artists of the Whitney Biennial. I know it's a woman's shirt, but with a blazer, it totally would be okay for me to wear. I've gone to almost all of the Gaps in lower Manhattan without results. I will try some of the other ones later. I would buy one online, but they sold out within the first 24 hours and I don't really feel like spending $80 for it on eBay. Kiki Smith also apparently came out with a wallpaper. I am desirous of it as well. Though I haven't been able to find a source that will quote a price. Perhaps I will go to the showroom that produces it, as there is one here in New York.
