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. . .

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.
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.
