Did you see the eclipse?  I had no idea it was even going to take place.  I was laying on the couch with an ice pack on my head (migraine) and Tyler called and said “Mom, you better look outside – the moon is amazing right now”  I got up and headed out to the patio where there it was… dimly lit with a super bright edge.  I was catching it in the nick of time.  It got a red hue and went darker and darker and the poof, it was black – we were in a total eclipse of the moon.  It was awesome.  I’ll have to try to catch it when it happens again in 2010, and don’t forget about the total solar eclipse this August 1st.

My migraine hung out for a few days – and the meds I take for it make me feel like I got hit with a truck – the muscle ache is terrible, but better than the feeling that my brain might bust out of my head I guess.  I don’t know if I actually got the flu or if it was because of the migraine or if I ate something weird, but it was not a good weekend all around with all the ‘sickiness’ that followed.  BUT – I slept litterally every single moment in between and I had nothing but dreams of new art projects! Oh – the shimmery silver lining to my barfy black cloud!

So as the planets lined up for the eclipse, they also lined up for my muse and plenty of ideas came rushing to me.  Then I opened up the mail and I had an invitation to be on the artists for the 2nd Annual Habitat for Humanit Art Auction.  Woo hoo – it arrived at a great time!  This year’s theme is “Thinking Outside The Box”.  We’ll be given a wooden box to transform.  I’ve already got some good stuff planned – I better sketch some stuff out before it’s lost.

I’ve started another bunny crown.  I’m going to give one away and sell one in time for Easter on Etsy.  I’ve also started my Spring crown, and have the sketches done for Summer, Fall & Winter one.  I think I might also go a few movie themed ones too… you can look forward to Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz.  Maybe that will help me get over my fear of that movie.  I hope so because this years’s Relay for Life, cancer walk, is themed Wizard of Oz.  Holy crap!
