A much needed update!
Where does one begin when it's been 2 months since the last blog, and so much has happened? Wow. So very much. I think I'll start with the latest... This one was beyond my wildest dreams. Once a year, I still do a tv production gig - just a couple days, and at this point, it's more for fun and to hang out with an old friend for a few days - kinda touch base with my old life, if you will. This year, she asked me to bring my jewelry along to the shoot, and guess what?! One of the actresses fell in love with the rings, and wore a couple of them during the shoot! Now, as much as I'd love to absolutely shout from the rooftops, I can't actually name the show or the actress just yet, since the pics wont come out till fall season promo stuff starts happening... but you're quite welcome to leave a comment and take a guess! :)
OK, moving backwards in time... my mother, who I blogged about earlier, took a fall a couple of months ago (she got into an elevator, pushed the button, nothing happened, so she went to get out, and learned - the hard way - that the elevator wasn't on an even plane with the floor - it was a couple of inches lower - so she went flying into the marble wall across the way, and then down onto the floor, hurting her left hand and arm, as well as her left hip, and her head... serious big ouchies here), sooooo... in addition to running my business, I was helping her run hers.
March and April are a very busy time for her, and the woman simply doesn't believe in taking a day off - ever. Consequently, a few things, like this blog, just had to wait a while. I'm taking my first day off since.... sometime before Christmas... today. And, lol, I'll be heading to the beach to help her... and at some point today design a couple of new pieces for yet another new section on the web site - to be called "Aqua," which will feature pieces to benefit the Key Biscayne Community Foundation a wonderful organization whose Aqua Gala is in 2 weeks. If you're reading this and the Aqua section doesn't exist yet, just give me a little time! :)
Moving a little further back, I also did the Key Biscayne Art Festival this year (2 days after my mother's accident). The response was incredible - truly more than I ever dared to hope, and it was sooooo nice to have so much interaction with people and to see first-hand such positive reactions to my designs. It was such a great experience, I'm seriously thinking about doing a couple of shows a year. I just have to figure out which ones... Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated!
OK, it's time to head over to the beach to help mom, but I leave you with this promise. I will be uploading some pics of new pieces tonight, as well as creating the new Aqua Section, so check back! :) lol... I did say this was a day off, right?! Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!
