As you can see I have changed the title of my blog.  That is because I have officially registered it as my domain name. YEAH!!!  Hopefully in the near future it will be the name of my Etsy store which will sell things like this:

I'm finding I have alot of work to do to get ready and I'm still helping my mom get back on her feet so it may take me a month but it's sooo much fun!!!

The sun was shining and the wind was blowing, but I had everything wired on tight, so it was a good day.  John and I shared a big tent and you can see his paintings behind me.  I sold quite afew  mixed media pieces which was encouraging because I'm going to open an online store for smaller mixed media pieces.  Hopefully that will happen in October when my Mom is back on her feet and I actually have time to do some art!  There I am with my traveling box of paints.  It reminds me of my favorite quote from Cezanne,  " I have to get a box of paints so I can paint when I'm not painting."  I'm not one for remembering quotes but I know just what he means.  That was the last artists' alley for this year.  Thanks to Les and Joanne for arranging everything.  I hear the next one is on the May 24th weekend.

It seems like the last Artist's Alley was just yesterday, not a month ago.  I'm just back from PEI and beautiful Sackville NB and getting ready for this Sunday, the next Artist's Alley.  John and I will be there from 10 to 5, weather permitting and so far the forecast looks great.

PEI was beautiful.  What can I say, aside from only being there three days, Oh and that nasty freezer full of bad meat, it was great.
