What’s Ahead

No reason for this photo. Just hoping to make you smile.

Some recent thinking has led to this listicle for you.

  • The Ivanhoe Library mural is getting closer. I am waiting on several decisions that are outside of my power.
  • My hope is to begin the week of November 10, but since the library is only open on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I teach drawing lessons on Tuesdays, this project could take a V E R Y L O N G T I M E.
  • The annual Holiday Bazaar at the Three Rivers Memorial Building is scheduled for November 22 this year. I haven’t participated in quite a few years, and this year I hope to do so.
  • If I don’t participate in the occasional bazaar, boutique, festival, or fair, people forget about my art.
  • When going through my notecards to decide which designs to reprint, I had a good idea. Maybe… I’m thinking about packaging leftover notecards from old pressruns (when I sold assortments) and selling them at a discount. This requires more thought, perhaps even another blogpost while I bore you to pieces with my thought process.
  • The 2026 calendar is completed but not yet revealed or on my website or ready to be sold.
  • Waiting for a special size canvas to arrive for one oil commission with a deadline and to decipher some notes for a special commission without a deadline. . .
In case the previous elephant didn’t make you smile, maybe this one will do the trick.

  1. I have a teddy bear I have slept with for decades (hey, when you have no other choice . . . ). Poor thing desperately needs a bath but I’m afraid he’ll fall apart if I try.

    • I keep my elephant in the cedar chest.

  2. Ah, we’re into elephants now! Did the snowfall on the mountain inspire you?

    “Listicle.” A silly-sounding, but very descriptive word! Did you make it up just for this blogpost?

    • Sharon, I stole the word “listicle” from someone(s) online. Loved the feel and the meaning. And elephants. . . the larger of the two shown was my security blanket, my emotional support animal when I was a young urchin. I bought the tiny one at Huffaker’s (AKA Reimer’s) with my allowance when I was a little older urchin.
