Leaving.

Tonight I'm staying in Charlotte at my friend Heather's house, and in the morning I head to Wyoming for my month-long residency at Jentel. I'm very excited to get there... but the prepping, packing, planning, and driving to Charlotte in heavy rain has been a bit stressful. 

I already miss Alfred. And my cuckoo clock.

I cut a ton of book-board this week at Penland.
Not all of it for the coming month.

Paper and book cloth I had stashed away, including 15 sheets
of nideggen paper that I had forgotten about. Score! 

Inventive packing: clothes wrapped in paper, wrapped in clothes... 

More packing things inside other things... (and new boots!)

New red puffy down thing....and 50% off!

Sewing machine being snuggly packed amongst clothes...
fare-thee-well,  old friend!

 So excited to get started.

Let's go!
