Seriously, I am not trying to brag but it is 73 degrees outside. I can't "find" my homework assignment so I am taking the afternoon off. Jenn should be here in a little bit for some wine and catching up. Then outdoor pizza date. And I already printed this morning before Andy even left for work. It is strawberry season in Louisiana which means deliciousness at the market and I got a loaf of good bread too.
All that AND I've been getting great responses from the Keep Writing project. I was just about to start working on the new one, unsure if anyone would send anything back. When I checked my mail, it was crammed full.
Thanks to all so far! Especially Li Pilas who designed this card in the foreground.
Tomorrow I will go back to work.

If it's not one thing...

The New Orleans Book Fair was as great as I hoped. I met some great people from Verna Press, saw old friends, met Alex's baby girl all while selling prints and post card subscriptions. Just as I loaded all the remaining prints into the studio, it is time for the LSU One of One Printmakers Print Sale! Towards the end of each semester and smartly timed to coincide with the Ceramics Sale, take over two tables in Free Speech Alley in from of the LSU Union Monday November 15th through Thrursday November 18th from 9 am till 5 pm. We sell handmade prints, books, cards, paper and more all created by LSU students and faculty. Work is affordable and half of the proceeds go to the One of One Printmakers' Club to help us bring visiting artists and guest speakers to our classes. This semester, I finally got around to letterpressing a poster for the event, printed in the same colors as a Rocket Pop.
Also check out the CASA Ceramics Sale under the white tent across the way from us. I buy one thing every year and break it accidentally one year later.

This year, I may not be buying anything from the Ceramics Sale because I made a bunch of bowls, plates and cups in my ceramics class. Above is one of the nicest bowls so far filled with peas from our side porch. We steamed them and ate them on salad last night with lettuce from the garden and a radish from the back yard. I do like Louisiana for its fresh food and great weather in November.
