Slow Down!

Sometimes when you least expect it, something comes along and tells you to "SLOW DOWN." That messenger came to me last week in the form of Swine Flu! Why it had to hit at quite possibly the WORST time of the year is beyond me. At a time when I was already stressed and wondering how in the world I was gonna get everything done in time for my next show, H1N1 told me to stop and smell the Tamiflu. After a week of laying on the couch and watching Oprah, Ellen and The View, I'm ready to get back at!
I've managed to finish up a couple pieces today. The Santa and Snowman candy dish is a whopper in size. Over 2 feet tall, the Santa is removeable to reveal a place for candy. I've also finished up this Santa bust. A new design, he was really fun to make and I have plans (next year!) to make some angel and snowmen ones.

Hopefully, the worst of this darn flu is over and I can start posting more pieces in the next two weeks before my show! One can only take so much of daytime TV...UGH!

So glad you're on the healing side of that nasty flu. I've had several friends come down with it and it's a nasty one for sure.

Love the new santa's!

So glad you,re feeling better David, don't worry it will all get done. Think of it this way now you have some kind of immunity should this thing get worse. I like your busts, nothing personal LOL. I think they will do well. Stay healthy and creative.

I too was victimized by that nasty little piggy, but love the Tamiflu...slept through the entire flu!! LOL David, look at it this way, we've been though it and now don't have to worry about catching it....we can go about our regular bidness without worry or concern. Now did you get your regular flu shot??? Just take care...don't over do. There are a lot more bugs out there just lurking around, especially on small children!! LOL
