Brrr!

It was sunny today but, man, was it cold and windy. I was so happy that I put on my longies when I got dressed for the market. I thought it was supposed to be cloudy so I was very happy to see the sunshine this morning. Not so happy when I got out of the car to walk into the market and the wind slammed into me but, hey, I'm a hardy Wisconsin girl. I survived.

Speaking of the Market on Military, I had a good day. It started slow, real slow, I don't think I sold anything the first hour and a half but then I sold one, then another, then another, then one to my knitting friend MW, and finally I sold one of each to the same woman. Woohoo! I hit upon the perfect sales pitch for Better Than Mom's. I reminded people of the old sitcom Mel's Diner, saying that I had a sassy waitress and interesting customers. That did the trick. And I got to use my new Square credit card reader too! There's a small transaction fee but it's a small price to pay for selling a book.

I decided to try painting with white and light paints on black mixed media paper. I like the way it turned out. I won't be painting on black much but it's my first not-copied painting in weeks.

Then I spent part of the afternoon working on the argument scene for The Seaview 2. I like it a little better and it's more physical, not quite as much dialogue. I'll keep working on it.

I didn't draw today. I just wasn't in the mood. Being at the market and being "on" for 4 hours is surprisingly tiring. Tomorrow I get to drive up to Sturgeon Bay to get my books in another bookstore. Yay!
