Evidently the new chill in the air has been more of a distraction than I realized. Leaves are changing and pumpkins are springing up on steps and countertops all over. After spending two days peeling apples and making pies, and dumplings, and crisps, and applesauce. . . well it took a few days for my hands to uncramp from the paring knife position.
But between falling leves and cinnamon shakers, my mind hasn't strayed far from the Lucky Duck. I can at least claim a few more sketches and a new collection of sticky note reminders. I need to learn how to build my banner, start a little website for the Duck, put together a few sample projects. Functional art. Think pretty and practical. I can scribble down ideas and possabilities for hours, but . . . functional art needs to form. Its the scary next step.
I've spent so long trying to decide what I wanted to do when I "grew up" and now it seems I have landed my answer. (Sorry about the pun. I can't be held responsible for ill attempts at humor. Don't worry, you'll get use to it.) But I do have the answer. Its just the getting there. Step by step. Even if they are small. Baby steps. Its something.
I will continue to draw my inspiration from those around me and as the storms of autumn inspire warm apple dumplings, hot tea and a cozy spot on the couch, I can only hope that storm of ideas and thoughts and goals and dreams continue to come. I'll get there. Step by Step.

- Céad míle fáilte romhat! Hello, My name is Jenny Beth. I am a Leprechaun of sorts living here in northern Indiana. I went to Purdue for a few years before I realized I didn't really know why. I am currently researching and hoping to start a little at home business. I'm sure you will hear all about it if you stay tuned. Aside from all that I'm not sure what else to tell. I will keep you posted though.
