Friday Egg

This is one of my all time favorite eggs.  It is a brown chicken egg (about 2 1/2 inches tall) showing salmon swimming over river rocks.  It was purchased by one of JoJo's daycare teachers for her mom's Christmas present. They live in Washington, so she was really excited to see this egg because salmon is such a big part of life up there.  I love it when my eggs find their perfect home.  I was sad to see it go, but it will be happy and loved where it is now, so that makes me feel better. Yes, I am kind of sappy sometimes.

Picnik!

How did I not know about this site before?  Picnik is a photo editing site already connected to Flickr, but if you go directly there and sign up for a free account (you can upgrade if you need more turbo-power!) you can edit, add effects and text, all kinds of editing.  I am ashamed to say that even after taking a digital imaging class, I am still woefully under-educated on how to use Photoshop.  This is definitely more my speed.  I edited the new header on this blog using only Picnik!

Back to work!

Thank goodness the holidays are over.  I want my real schedule back! Returned to volunteering at the HRC yesterday and slowly things are returning to normal.  I have JoJo today, so this will be short and sweet.  She is currently eating applesauce and watching Super Why so I can get ready for the day (which shouldn't involve blogging, but you know how it goes).  We are working on getting her used to the big girl bed.  On day 4 now and she is sleeping through the night but getting up about an hour earlier than normal.  Napping is pretty non-existent unfortunately.  We will keep trying.

A quail egg before Christmas

Been busy, but here's a quail egg I made last week.  Keep in mind that this egg measures maybe 1.5 inches tall!

Fall Schedule

The East Austin Studio Tour is fast approaching!  The tour has been expanded to two weekends, November 14th and 15th and November 21st and 22nd, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.  Come out to tour the studio, take a look at my new egg designs and try your hand at the process of pysanky.  For more information, go to the  E.A.S.T. website and look up Katyegg or Kate Bradshaw David. Looking forward to seeing a good crowd.

Also, believe it or not, the Holiday season is just around the corner.  This year I am happy to be selling my wares at the Cherrywood Art Fair at Maplewood School(38 1/2 Street at Maplewood Ave., Austin), Saturday, December 12th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, December 13th from Noon to 6 p.m.  There will be music, food, and tons of amazing art. 

New products on Zazzle

Okay, I say products, but at this very moment it is just one notecard. I plan on introducing more as I can, but this will do for now:  Blue Poppy Notecard

Tell all your friends!

Been a long time

I believe that I need to get on a schedule or I will never contribute to this blog.  Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or something like that.  Let me think about it.  I have been trying to gear up for fall and the holiday season.  I am still unsure whether I am participating in E.A.S.T or not.  They cashed my check, but I never heard anything from them.  I spoke with one of them this past weekend, but he couldn't tell me anything.  The program is at the printer and is due to come back the weekend before the tour starts, so I guess I have one week to get everything together if I am participating.  I'm trying to go with the flow on this one and not get frustrated.  There's nothing that I can accomplish with being frustrated.
