Another day ...

I've just confirmed my surgical appointment with the doctor: my gallbladder is coming out on Thursday. I'm a little nervous about it, since I've never had any kind of surgery before!

In the "in between" period -- the days between hospitalization and surgery -- I've been working in the studio as much as possible, nearly completing two new dolls: a French lady from a period fashion plate and a fairy for a contest I'm hosting for the Fantasy Artists of Etsy. The winner of the last contest gets to host and provide the prize for the next contest. The contest theme, pre-determined, is The Elements, so I've been working on a sculptural fairy in "silver."

In other news, I did hear back from Williamsburg. Last we communicated, they were still interested and planned to meet with the folk art curator last Friday to discuss the matter. I am waiting to hear what happened at that meeting, but, optimistically, ordered fabrics that will work for each of the dolls I envision making for them. I figure, even if they don't hire me, I'll make the dolls and sell them in my Etsy shop.

More later,

Nina

Congratulations on the Colonial Williamsburg news! They won't be disappointed with your work.

Nina, I hope you are well on the road to recovery...surgery is no fun, but perhaps the pampering by family and friends will get you over the rough spots! Wishing you a quick recovery...Susan
