Almost a new year's resolution

When is it too late for a new year's resolution? The thought occurred to me that I should write every day in my blog just to keep in touch with my thoughts. Since this blog is about my art, maybe I should talk about what I did or did not do or what I plan to do everyday. That way even if I do not get the time to do anything that day, I atleast can talk about it.

Ok, so, this is what I did today: went to the Sew and Quilt show at San Mateo Expo Center. I found some beautiful purple beads, some glass head pins, a couple of stackable bead holders and some buttons. Some of the buttons are really tiny and they will go very well on pin dolls. Ooooh I want to make some soon.... I looked for some lace but could not find the kind I was looking for. I had a wonderful time looking at the Hoffman challenge dolls and quilts. Also feasted my eyes on dolls at the Treasure of the Gypsy stand.

I came back home all charged up and went to work on my High Maintenance Fairy, a doll designed and taught by Betts Vidal. I had taken her class in a log cabin surrounded by beautiful Sequoia trees in Saratoga couple of weekends ago. The setting is very beautiful and that is the usual hangout for our doll club retreat every year.
