getting ready

It feels like my days are on fast-forward recently. I'm getting ready for so many little departures--a residency in two weeks, teaching classes again beginning tomorrow, the SPC, heading to Portland in August, and of course the big one in September. All the news gets in the way of living sometimes.

Not sure how much more I'll have time for in terms of this-here blog until after the afore-mentioned SPC. One of my best friends is home from France and my mom's coming over to see the new apartment, and of course there is a ton of sewing and last-minute pasting-together to be done. But I'll be back, with tons of photos, next week for sure!

(Fairy rings!)

Edit: I just watched this trailer, which is for a film my friend is making. Go check it out. It's moving--and beautiful--and frightening.
