Went for a swim yesterday with Gabe and his cousins in this beautiful lake below Mt. Hood. The water wasn't nearly as chilly as you might think, and I swam and swam my guts out. We finished the day with huge plates of Cuban food, a late night showing of Nacho Libre, and my first game ever of air hockey.
To get a feel for this awesome day in the comfort of your own backyard..just make yourself some kind of banana treat, sit in the sprinkler, and crank up the beautiful sounds of this tune.
Ahh. Perfecto.

Hello all,
Happy Monday! Busy times here in Oregon land. After a great weekend of seeing some old friends get married (congratulations Sara and Franz!) I've settled back into work mode. Unfortunately this means that I've also started feeling an old familiar twinge of stress in my neck about upcoming (exciting, but slightly stressful) events.
Let's see. There is Crafty Wonderland at the Doug Fir on August 13th, the Renegade Craft Fair on September 16 and 17th in Chicago, and last but not least, the Santa Barbara Festival of Arts on October 13-15th.
Are you noticing the pattern here? One event a month for three months, starting...*gulp* in to two weeks. There are a million and one details to contend with, from air fare to booth set-up. Business cards to order, tax forms to fill out, emails to send, supplies to buy and paintings to paint. Sandwich all these things together and you have a slightly stressed out enchilada. The enchilada, or uh, sandwich, being, me. But the stress and worry aside, life is fantastico.
I hope that if you're around for any of these events that you come by and give me a high five, and maybe some rice pudding. I really enjoy the rice pudding. Also, I have some new items for sale on the store page, if you get a chance to check them out.
These really are exciting times, love is all around! The spicy, delicious, green salsa kind of love. Ponies and rainbows mixed with beans and rice.
