Time to fess up!

I went over to the blog today to see what I'd posted about last and it was so long ago, it got gobbled up by the archives. I am sorry about that.
My Christmas Holiday went well. It was frenetic, a little bit of Brooklyn, a visit to Connecticut, back to Brooklyn and then David and I came home to Arizona. The best part of it was that I got to spend so much time with David. The worst part was that I didn't get down time with my folks, it was holiday hectic.

I haven't been posting pictures of my creative exploits here for a while and I am happy to say, it is because I have been writing articles, contributing to exciting publications and I have signed a contract to write a book! 144 pages devoted to the techniques I use to make my art. Yeah!!
The hard part is, everything that I make for the book needs to be fresh and new and unseen by the public eye. This means I will need to be vague about what I post and what I am making.

In other news, our cat Monk had a little dental emergency this weekend. His lower left fang was dangling from his mouth. We brought him to the vet and he had to get his tooth extracted. He is home and happily drugged. He is never quite as lovey as he is tonight. His eyes are blurry and do not focus on anything in particular. He is being very ‘lappy’.

So there you have it.

Congratulations! Now we will all be sitting on pins and needles (or at least more so than usual). Glad 2008 is off to a great start! Cheers.

Wow! I had nightmares that your blog had been kidnapped! So glad it's just the archiving thing. Also glad to hear Monk is recovering. Happy New Year, and I hope to see you real soon!
XOXO

I knew it had to be mostly good things. Momma says "no news is good news".

After we relocated we discovered that the holidays were the worst times to go home. I do an annual "pre holiday week" in late October to really get quality time with distant kin.

Great news-- congratulations! It's so exciting, I wish that you could post more of your process. Will you tell us who the publisher or editor is, or is that secret too?
