spring is here! in new york we would just be seeing signs of early spring, so moving to georgia was quite a shock. we literally drove right into spring! we have had some beautiful days, and after a lot of rain everything is starting to burst with color. mornings start out cool but by afternoon we are in short sleeves. it's really lovely. how is the weather where you are? to see more of my photos, visit here.

abby glassenberg...

i have been a fan of abby glassenberg's work for quite some time, and since moving to atlanta i had the opportunity to see it in person. last weekend i took my sister and mother-in-law over to the young blood gallery where abby and david hale have a show together... "birds of a feather". it was of course right up my alley... with my love for soft sculpture, and fascination with feathers, stones, etc. it was a lovely collection and worked well together. we were all very impressed with abby's work. her attention to detail is amazing. the number of panels and pleats used to create the shape of the birds was also quite impressive. unfortunately, my camera battery died about five pictures in, and i didn't have many to choose from here. i was hoping to show some of her detailing, and also a few larger photos of the gallery space. you can visit their flickr site to see more photos. the flying birds were wonderful! i'm so glad i had the chance to go... i'm now an even bigger fan!

if you are in the area, the gallery and boutique are very nice, and i saw quite the collection of etsy artists in the storefront. we also had a yummy brunch at the cafe next door... where i ate outside on the patio!!! do you know how lng it's been since i've eaten outside? oh, it was just lovely.

a good reminder...

after a hard week, and feeling down... this was what i needed to read this morning, to put things in perspective. i love nie nie's blog. i didn't discover her until after her crash... but i find her writing before and after, so inspiring. i especially like that even though we are very different people in a lot of ways, she still speaks deeply to me as a person.

so we are just trying to settle in here, which is difficult since we are still looking for a place to live! we are lucky to stay with family... on a pretty wooded lot... a nice change from living in the city for so long. i will start posting some pictures, as soon as i can locate my cable to upload them! i have set up a little craft space here too and i'm starting to work again. i have both kids home full time though, so it's a slow start for now. i'll update soon. thanks for your words of support and encouragement, they really mean a lot.
