Miss me?
It’s been a crazy month and it’s only going to get crazier as we head into early September.
I’ve been busy at the local Farmer’s market selling (primarily) my jewelry and smaller artwork, this Thursday will be my 3rd week and then I am taking the next week off as we head to the Rockies
camping for our 9th Anniversary.
Once I get back I have Prenatal appointments, another week at the Market and then Munchkin and I fly to New Brunswick to visit family leaving hubby home to hold down the Fort (no pun intended, seeing how we live in Fort Saskatchewan, AB).
He’s offered to take over my table (sweet brave soul he is xox) at the Last Market for the Season on Sept 5th so treat him nice and buy lots 😉
While all the chaos has been happening I’ve also been busy rearranging my studio and basement in general,
working on a few new paintings which I hope to complete when I get back in September
and I also signed up for a big Christmas Marketplace Sale happening on November 30th hosted by the local Chamber of Commerce.
So I’ll also be busy prepping handmade jewelry and art for gifts and stocking stuffers for that event.
But in the mean time I hope to have a few weeks of relaxing with family.
As a side note, I have cut a few prices on earrings and what not in my Etsy store so there’s no better time to shop 🙂

Well things are really starting to come together!
The studio is starting to look great and is slowly becoming organized.
My Etsy Studio Shop is slowly getting stocked as I work my way through my Art inventory
http://www.etsy.com/shop/AMilkeArtStudio
and more people are starting to take notice and asking me about commissioning pieces.
So all in all I can’t really complain.
Plus I’m back to working on my 4’x4′ Garden on Knowledge painting.
The background is set and the base of the left side of the tree is in so now things will really start to get interesting.
Remember if you want to commission something message me, I’m your girl!
Cheers,

Well my submission is sent in now to sit and wait, and pace, and hope and dream….lol
What in the world am I talking about?
Well you see, the city I live in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta is looking for ART submissions for the new city hall
http://www.fortsask.ca/ftsk_Business/Initiatives.aspx?id=10878
The particularly exciting part is this line right here: “Submission will be accepted under two themes: a modern contemporary piece or our river and river valley.”
Modern Contemporary is right up my alley!
My proposal was for a nice big 7′ x 4′ foot pure Abstract painting with lots of nice texture and bright vibrant colors!
Best yet it would be hung just inside the Front Entrance to City Hall so lots of traffic.
I’m sure it would look amazing hanging there and would most assuredly be a conversation piece.
But now I have to wait!
Today was the last day for submissions.
Then they are going over the submissions on Tuesday June 4th and the selected party(ies) are supposed to be contacted June 7th.
Maybe if I hold my breath and Pray REALLY Hard???
Oh well if life has taught me anything it’s that you can’t bribe God lol so what will be is what will be meant to be.
Patience & Acceptance
Cheers,
Amanda
Oh ya almost forgot!
My Etsy shop is being set up so go check it out
