I finished the last item of my waxy painting project today, just as I intended. In all, six paintings. Now they have to be wrapped, packaged and mailed. I'll think about that tomorrow!

Sneak peek of the final piece.

 I've also been stitching a series of wee dresses, listed in my Etsy shop. They are having a modest success, which makes me happy because I love making them.

and my beloved Paper Crown.

Hello. I got back last night.
It was great.

This photo shows a major highlight of my trip. As a veteran magazine journalist, I can tell you it doesn't get better than these amazing women.

More later. Right now, I need to get groceries.... and coffee beans!
