Studio Day = Cleaning Day

Last week my goal was cleaning and Comcast.  Well, cleaning didn't happen.  But I'm running out of Wednesdays before my BFF Sharon comes for the State Fair and Ren Fest, so today I will take vaccuum in hand and clean my house!  I know it won't be pristine, but she's really not counting on that either.  She's been coming up to visit me for years and she knows that I'm NOT an excellent housekeeper.  But I have let things slide a little much and I'm not happy with the condition of my house.  So I'm on the attack today.  At least the temps are down a bit so I won't melt while I'm cleaning. 

That's my usual attitude:  "My idea of
housecleaning is to sweep the room with
my eyes."

Renaissance Faire starts on Saturday.  I have to make sure that I have my outfit ready to go.  My cloak isn't done (I think I want to change the embroidery again, so I haven't worked on it recently), but it's for the cold weather portion of the Fest and that won't happen until mid to late September.  Those will be the days when we will look back to the hot early days of Fest with a smile.  It's a fun Festival since it takes eight weeks in a Minnesota autumn, meaning a range of temps from 90 F or more to occasional snow at the end of the run.  Nothing like living in Minnesota - LOL.  So, I'll treat myself to a nice breakfast at the Twisted Fork, renew my car license, do a small amount of shopping at the office supply store, and send a package off.  Then I'll clean and finally I'll hit the grocery store late this afternoon.  I've also had a portrait lounging in my mind and I'll try and see if I can begin the work on that.  It is an unusual perspective, looking up from chin to forehead, but I keep thinking about this one and I need to try it.  Have a creative day!
