Wow, it has been a busy week! I am excited to say, I have begun work on my door for the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery’s Door#4 Show! She is putting together the brochure this year with photos of artists with the works in progress. Here I am, just beginning my door on the day the photos were due for the brochure! Nothing like a deadline to nip procrastination in the bud! This is such a fun show to participate in and to view! Stay tuned next month for the countdown 🙂

Working on Door #4

Also, since I lost the post about the Perceptions of the Past exhibit, (see my previous post Here) I thought I’d post an image of my finished work for that. I didn’t like my first painting, so did a second version, which went much more smoothly. The show runs May 20 – June 27 at Rogue Community College’s Firehouse Gallery.  I’m curious about what the curators chose as the other historic photographs for the Oregon Sesquicentennial exhibit. I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with! I really thought mine would be pioneers for some reason…

I am the Basketweaver

I’m hoping to get onto a more regular posting routine, but life is getting complicated recently. Today I am having a needle biopsy done on my breast. After multiple mammograms, an MRI, ultrasounds, etc. they feel that this is the only way to rule out cancer. I am anxious to hear the results, and should know by Wednesday or Thursday.

Also, I’m waiting to hear about an offer we made on a house & acreage between Wilsonville & Sherwood. We may have to wait for some time to hear, and I know there is already another offer on the place, so I’m trying hard not to get my hopes up. We have been looking for a place with more room for so long…. This home needs a lot of remodeling, but the location and property are beautiful.

Just in case we get it, my husband & I took the Tour of Remodeled Homes in the Portland area this weekend. We met some of the builders, designers & architects, which was very interesting. There were some very beautiful remodels, with before pictures in each room. It gave us so many great ideas! Our heads were spinning with ideas for the new place. We also went to an open house yesterday, just in case we need to choose another property. Truth be told, after years of shopping all the possibilities, I think my husband really should have been a real estate agent! He loves to look at homes and property! I think he will go through home-shopping withdrawal if we get the house LOL! I’m keeping every appendage crossed and anxiously awaiting the phone call though! I grew up on a farm & would love to have a little more space around me again. I will keep you posted on all fronts!
