Show wrap-up & Art Trek
Thank you to everyone that supported us this weekend at the NBCC show. Your compliments are always appreciated.
Overall, the weekend was a bit slower than usual for a lot of the craftspeople in attendance. The weather on Friday didn't help but Saturday and most of Sunday were pretty nice until the wind picked up on Sunday afternoon, which means for some, "the flight of the mugs", as various pieces of handcraft get blown off shelves which is never a good way to end a show.
On the up-side, we now know our location for the upcoming Fredericton Arts Alliance Art Trek, on the 18 & 19 of October. We will be a Karen LeBlanc's weaving studio Loominations, on Grasse Circle off Clements Drive on the northside. I'll post more info on this as I get it in. That will be our next and last Fredericton appearance for this year, unless something different happens.
Cheers.

Poetry blog
It had been several years since I had put pen to paper in a serious manner and recently I started to write again. It's a good feeling to be jotting down not just ideas and business notes, which has been quite normal, but to allow myself the luxury of writing for the enjoyment of it again.
I am not certain where the 'poems' that I am publishing to the new blog will take me, but they are a form of catharsis too.
Comments are always welcome.

Interesting times...
I've been following Hugh over at GapingVoid and the notes on The Cloud. From there, went and took a good look at Evernote. Really nice bit of programming and it has the potential to drastically alter how we do favorite-ing forever. I like it.
Also read The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. It's a book title that gets tossed around from time to time on the forums. It's not likely a program that gets completed every time a book is sold however. Like many self-exploratory projects, they don't get done. True to form I procrastinated on starting the outlined tasks until today as I finished the book last night. It may well work into a good thing as I work to stick-with-it.
Meandered into one of the local used goods/recycle stores last and picked up the green Days of the New CD. Been enjoying that today too. Someday, I'll run across some more of their work. Travis Meeks is a brave poet.
All together, these little forays into the unknown have amounted to a creative vacation. And it's good to take a vacation from the should do's. The bonus is that leaves me wanting to do more of the good stuff that is actually productive.
That's today, check back with me next week and see if I'm still hanging in there :)
