Yardwork

Yesterday was the first sunny day all week! And it was stellar. I worked on cleaning out some flowerbeds and edging while Todd mowed the lawn. We finally don't have to hang our heads as one of the not-so-tidy houses on the street.

Though, I don't think Todd was prepared for the physical labor..... I caught a great photo of Todd, Jasper and Mia all conked out on the couch.

I sculpted for about an hour on the finger detail of the lower hand then moved to my checklist for my second piece. I was able to do all of the calculations and wrote out my timeline and weekly deadlines. Tonight when I get home, I hope to sculpt for at least a half hour and finish that hand, then draw out my measurements.

I found out that I did not get into the art competition. I wallowed in disappointment for about an hour and then moved on. I plan on entering as much as I can so there will be others.

I feel great about First Bond. I think she is beautiful and has fulfilled my expectations. I am looking forward to meeting with the foundry this Friday and getting her cast this next month.

And I am starting to get very excited about my new piece..... : )
