it has been a busy week, spent alternating between packing my babies kids for sleepaway camp and working on a huge freelance illustration job that's due next week. plus there's been the managing to keep the feelings of total hopelessness at bay while looking out the window at day after day of rain and heavy gray fog. i cried a little in the trial-sized aisle at target while i was buying the kids each their very own soap dish, because this is their first sleepaway camp experience and i am going to miss them terribly. but later that day when they were determinedly trying to choke each other, i thought to myself that a week away really isn't that long for them to be gone.
i did see a wee patch of blue sky up above for a total of about five minutes today. it was something special to behold, let me tell you.
if you live in or are visiting maine this summer, i wanted to let you know i have some working hanging + for sale at two of my favorite places on mount desert island: the burning tree restaurant in otter creek*, and at lisa hall jewelry in northeast harbor.
*they don't have a website because they are too busy cooking the world's most delicious food in the history of ever to worry about such paltry concerns, but you can see a picture i took there here.
