Back from Philly

Mon Oct 12, 2009, 7:21 PM
It's been a long time since I've written in here.

I was very sick during the summer and had to be taken back and forth to the hospital several times during the Labour Day weekend. I'll spare you the gory details.

But I made it to the National Carousel Association convention in Philadelphia and I also made it to the KISS concert here in Oshawa on Wednesday.

It was AWESOME!!! I just KNEW I could not sit at home moping knowing that KISS was walking distance away from me! I could only charge my batteries for my digital camera for half an hour while I grabbed whatever money I had laying around the house, changed my clothes and practically FLEW there as if pulled by magnetic force like those girls in the chewing gum commercial! And I got an EXCELLENT deal from a scalper! He even accepted my American money!

I had a wonderful view and shot some great footage with my digital camera.

I am an artist who enjoys working in a variety of mediums, especially embroidery and creating dolls and soft sculptures. I have had a lifelong fascination with carousels and have traveled extensively through the years, usually with the National carousel Association, to see as many as possible.

My husband Dave and I have been happily married since July of 2002 and I juggle between my day jobs as Coffee Vendor at CMHA, Peer Support worker at the hospital and trying to crank out and sell as many of my creations as possible in my spare time.

I have Asperger's Syndrome and the creative dream of somehow creating an "Autism Awareness" carousel with art and animals designed and created by people who are on the autsim spectrum. My vision includes it as the centrepiece of a cultural centre which includes a toy museum, gift shop and Victorian Tea Room!
