Stop the world I want to get off!

Spent a few hours at the art exhibit today down at Waratah in the old Bowling Club but I must say that the patronage of it has been woeful!
We are lucky to get a few people in the door every day.
Oh well - still selling nothing!
Took Aleks to Borders where she spent $60 on two books and had coffee with a good friend.I also got a book called "The witch of Kings Cross - the story of Rosalie Norton" - it is full pics of her great paintings.
Cooked cakes and went to buy more paint brushes and arty shit.
Bought two herb plants yesterday as a start to my herb garden - a small bay leaf plant and some peppermint ( cause I loved the smell when I ripped off some leaves ).
They are currently on my kitchen window sill but will be moved to my "herb garden" which I plan to create in my back yard ( Oh I hear hubby laugh out loud, as, you see I cannot even grow dirt!)...
Tomorrow, I will go see another art teacher who has a class just down the road from me, I have go go pick up my paitings, clean up and entertain 5 x 15 year old for a "movie afternoon" - help!!!!!!

Chin up, things will work themselves out, they usually do - re. party, just grin and bear it, nothing else can be done - you never know, you might have a ball! Good luck!

They don't call us starving artists for nothing you know :)

Perhaps you need to be watering your dirt more in the summer and less in the winter. Just a thought.

Don't bother cleaning up for the 15yr olds, WW. That's a job for later: why do it twice?

It's always good to have a new challenge. I've got very non-green fingers too. ;0)

ah well it is all experience - when you start selling no worries they will be lining up!
Good luck with the teenager lol and give them a bucket and mop before they go!
