Barefoot Studio

I should be packing right now, or cleaning, or maybe even going to bed, but here I sit at the keyboard! We are leaving tomorrow to go visit my parents in Nebraska, and from there we will all journey to Estes Park and enjoy some hiking in the aspens.



I have been a sewing fiend the last two weeks, trying to get ready to bring some items down to a friends studio in Northfield. Aidan and I brought my wares down there today, and let me tell you, what a treat! For starters, Carla's studio is amazing, and I am so excited to be able to have my items there. The studio is flooded with color and light, and it is probably one of the most cheerful shops I have ever been in. It also seems that every time I see Carla's work, it is so much more amazing than before. She just keeps coming up with all sorts of neat things to paint. So - if you need to do any Christmas shopping, her studio would be a great place to find all sorts of treasures. And - right away - I decided I would just like to move to that charming little town. I called James and told him so, because I had it all figured out in my head. We'd be closer to James' parents, I could work at the hospital, there is a thriving artisan community, the housing market is prime for buyers..... James? Oh - he can just commute. So if any of you need a girls weekend, or a fun place to do some shopping, head to Northfield. Their little main street was bustling with activity, and there were so many shops there you could easily spend a day wandering dreamy-eyed through them all.



I also have a job interview tomorrow, for a highly coveted position at a hospital nearer our home. I have been trying to get in there since April, so this is my second interview, and although this position was apparently posted with me in mind, I am trying not to get my hopes up. Most hospitals have unions, and whether or not you are a member determines your eligibility for a job. Currently, I am not, so I am at a disadvantage. So we will see. But I am really stuck, because I wore my "interview suit" last time, so I am tossing around what I should wear. I have two other tops I think would be great, but they are so similar in shape and color to what I wore last time..... I can't decide. Sadly, I don't suppose linen and sandals really work.



So I should go to bed. I need to have the car packed and myself interview ready when I drop Aidan off at James' work at 10:00, and then after the interview we will hit the open road. But I wanted to share my pictures from today with you, so you could see a little of "the Barefoot Studio." Enjoy your tour!
