randomness

It's going to be very hot this weekend. I'm going to complain. You are warned.

I shaved the "feathers" off my draft horse (well, half draft) Gwen. It's ultimately easier than trying to comb stickers out all the time, but she does look a little funny. Luckily Shylah doesn't need to be clipped.

I am working on a spring art sale (via the internet) like I did last summer. The website is entirely updated (I think) with price discounts, and I plan to post it all here too. Not everything is for sale, and there are no discounts on scrimshaw. I just want to move some of this stuff outta here!

And to sweeten the pot, there's this:


I really want some drawings on the list. There are quite a few scrimshaw projects on the waiting list now but I really need to break up the microscope-time with some drawing! Too hard to sit at a scope all day.

I totally want to bake. A lot. Like, I want to make every single recipe of cookies that's in the ginormous cookie cookbook I have. However it would be really bad for my butt to eat all those cookies. Sometimes I get into these extreme baking modes. OMG, and I'm sewing. Yup, it's a full blown Martha Stewart phase. It happens. I wonder if there's any way to do some very small-scale cookie sales (batch a week, anyone local willing to fork over a few bucks to cover ingredients?)

I need to remember to turn on the incubator tomorrow. Going to set eggs next weekend and I need the temperature in the room to warm up and stabilize so I can get the incubator temperature stable. Yeah, chicks in a month, woo hoo!

Since you asked, if you would like to eavesdrop and see why I'm feeling all rock-star-ish, take a peek at what I posted on the engraving and knife forums:
