The Little Things...

I have been a little stressed, overworked, and just plain worn out.  Preparing for Tucson, hanging a new show, doing a new window display, getting things ready for the Steampunk Party, and planning a major event with lots of teachers and students (on top of all the "normal" everyday activities) has all contributed to many sleepless nights and a few extra gray hairs. (Yes, I actually did find a few new ones.)  My mother-in-law found out about my current plateful of busyness and she surprised me with this little amigurumi owl!  Isn't it adorable!  It totally made my day.  She knows that I love owls and have been collecting them for over twenty years! I will add this new owl friend to my hoard... I mean... collection.
