Open Studio Weekend is today and tomorrow, 11 - 5pm, at ArtSpace, 555 Asylum Ave. Hartford.
It looks to be a rainy weekend, so if you're in town, why not come by and look at some art?
I'll post pics (maybe) tomorrow morning! Wish me luck!!!

I'm very happy with how it turned out but I will say it was a wee bit more time consuming than I originally planned. I was looking for something to take about 90 - 120 minutes. This probably took closer to 3 - 4 hours. 


We have been SO LUCKY in West Hartford. We have had mild nights for trick-or-treating for, like, three years now, and last night was just lovely. We even had a full moon.
And since I was safe from the sun - I could show my true vampire self!!! Mwaaa-ha-ha! See how I put my son in a trace. Actually he's thinking, Please stop taking pictures of me.
I hung back and let Indie and Harry and Harry have a great time running from house to house. Magoo kills me because he can't eat candy, but that doesn't mean he won't debate - endlessly -between a Snickers and a bag of M&M's if given the choice.


To be honest, when I found out we were doing an art project in the auditorium with 150 kids - I was a little wary of the outcome. That's the recipe for chaos and Crayola explosions. But the kids did a FABULOUS job! I did two groups and in each group there was one child who assured me that he couldn't do it. I just talked them through it one by one and every kid had a bookmark they were proud of.
Staci has two adorable children and since the second one was born last December, I needed to get my tush out there and meet that baby! I made him some soft blocks (below.)
I didn't include pics of the kids' faces b/c Staci isn't on Facebook or blogging or anything so I didn't want to plaster her children's sweet mugs all over the internet.
