Life.

This last month has been an interesting one.

Some updates:

I have a job now!  

Well, besides painting and managing

my Etsy store...

 

I am now the official Project Manager

for Silver City's CLAY Festival in 2013.

We're already busy at work,my friends, 
and I have yet to perfect my time management skills.

Let's hope that gets better! :P

 

Also, I am back to running again!

My ballet teacher had to suddenly move to Arizona,

so I have jumped back into jogging.

Honestly, it's refreshing.

And meditative.

I've been doing an easy 5K plan

(which I highly recommend for those of you

who need a bit of structure and easy build-up).

I start week five tomorrow!

Those are just a few updates for me.

Thanksgiving of course will be fabulous as well!

We're gearing up to spend it with family.

 I shall try and take many a picture!

Stay warm, everyone!

And have a fantastic week!

    

Silver City Clay Festival: a glimpse at DAY ONE

The Silver City Clay Festival,

an event I've been helping prepare

since January,

has finally come upon us.

There was SO MUCH
going on simultaneously...

I haven't even 
scratched the surface
here.

But here's a little glimpse 
worth viewing.

Let's take a look, 
shall we?
