Cynthia Spencer Photo We all had a blast last night visiting the first half of studios on the Philomath Open Studios pre-tour. Thursday night will cover the second half of studios. I ended up snagging a few images from my friend Cynthia Spencer who was smart enough to be taking photos along the way plus others takenContinue reading “Pre-tour fun!”

Getting squared away
I must confess, I’ve been checking my mailbox daily for this little package to arrive. It will allow me to keep track of inventory and sell my wares over the two big Philomath Open Studio Tour weekends. I’ve already stocked my online shop with all the goodies now residing at Judi’s place. Tuesday afternoon isContinue reading “Getting squared away”
Playing and counting down
Ten days until Philomath Open Studio Tour! I’ve been hard at work and other things over the past 10 days. On the yummy end, we brined & smoked more salmon! Then vacuum packed for the freezer. The threat of our first fall storm forced a roof clean (moss removal, empty the gutters and fix aContinue reading “Playing and counting down”
At the computer
I’ve spent most of my day creating a newsletter via MailChimp. It’s been one of those experiences I’ve delayed, but see the need to create. So it’s in the works. The biggest job has been compiling a current email list. I started one years ago only to discover it’s gone missing. How could I misplaceContinue reading “At the computer”
23 days and counting!
I’m finally starting to gear up for Philomath Open Studio Tour. Yesterday I went and reclaimed two items that had been on display for the big event. Unfortunately, one of the lamp panels was damaged from a bad repacking job. Yes, a big gouge right through the background paper. No, it’s not fixable and IContinue reading “23 days and counting!”
Quiet but busy
The rain has finally come back to us after many days of beautiful sunshine. It’s needed since the pollen counts have been dreadful. I’ve been trying to gain a better grasp of organizing my time between all sections of life. I feel more glued to the computer, anticipating things popping up from work, artists slowlyContinue reading “Quiet but busy”
Unpacking
Sunday night I packed everything up from Judith’s studio and headed home. This last weekend was a mixed bag, a super busy Saturday but Sunday was a bit slower (ultra slow in sales). We had a great time talking with lots of people. I have to admit, chatting to people about my work is difficult.Continue reading “Unpacking”
Pumpkin Carving
Life is just flying by and I can’t believe the week is almost over. Wednesday we had Round#2 of preview tours for the open studio event. Incredible weather and a fabulous group of artists, I couldn’t have asked for a better night out. If you don’t get the opportunity to see me this weekend, haveContinue reading “Pumpkin Carving”
Open Studio!
Come see us! Sage Studio belongs to my friend Judith Sander. She graciously opens her doors to the public once a year during the Philomath Open Studio Tour and invites two artists to participate. Jerri Bartholomew (center) is an incredible glass artist who blends her scientific background and love of nature into her work. Judith’sContinue reading “Open Studio!”
Craziness!
Holy Cow! Tomorrow, Wednesday, is set up day at Judith’s studio for the big weekends. Dave is off in Seattle for a week long training and I’m home with the hounds from hell. Last night the dogs and I were out on a gloriously warm walk with my girlfriend and were attacked by a blackContinue reading “Craziness!”
