That's a Wrap!

At least for 2011 anyway.

After today this blog will be maintaining radio silence until April 2012.

I'll be spending most of my time in the studio finishing new work and preparing for my 2012 New Collection Preview on April 16th.

 Stuff I Will Be Doing For the Next 3 Months 

Instead of Writing This Blog:

Studying French verb conjugations and reading Alexandre Dumas.   

What better way to brush up my French grammar and vocabulary than to spend a few months doing verb drills and passing an hour a day reading a fantastic French novel?  Weighing in at nearly 1000 pages, La Dame de Monsoreau should pose quite a challenge for the next few months. (I’m even an over achiever in my leisure time!)

Catching up with Ira Glass.

I stopped buying books in 2010 because my bookcases are overflowing with books I haven’t yet had time to read.  Now my Audible.com download manager is over-flowing with audio books I haven’t had time to listen to, and I can’t remember the last time I heard an episode of This American Life.  I plan on getting an earful for the next few months.

Rockin' out on my gee-tar.

I've been taking guitar lessons off and on for two years now.  How is it even possible that I'm still so dreadfully awful at it?  Like really. I suck at it. I can't even play one Bob Marley song.  This must be remedied immediately.

Giving my running shoes a real work-out.  

I used to hate the winter months.  But I quickly made peace with the long, cold, dark winter months by focusing on staying physically active.  There’s nothing like a swift brisk work out to lift your spirits. I have 2 pairs of running shoes.  If you’re extra quiet, and listen very carefully, you will actually hear them screaming my name.

Spending a week lounging on a beach in Thailand.

If the brisk work-out schedule doesn’t do its job, I have a back-up plan.  In February I'll probably spend a week lounging on the beach in Phuket, which from what I hear, is beautiful enough to lift anyone’s spirits. I just renewed my passport last week, so with a bit of luck, Thailand will be the first stamp! 

Getting my hands dirty. 
It's been an amazing year.  Perhaps one of the best I've had in a very long time. I love blogging and I love working with artists, but the part of my life that’s focused on the actual making of art is the fuel for everything else I do. 

Never forget--The work always comes first.

See ya in April!
