more exciting news...

I know, I know...I take a blog vacation and then I come back and am all business....but this just proves I have been busy with stuff.

Thanks to all of you who read and sent me emails about the great interview I did over at Stainless Steel Droppings, if you get the time, go on over and check it out. The blog is one of my new favorites!

Today's announcement is something some of you already know, a while back the talented Lori of Heart Works By Lori asked me to collaborate with her on a line of jewelry. I was both flattered and intimidated, as Lori is wonderfully talented and the caliber of artists she works with is high. She even has a collection of jewelry in the Museum Of Fine Arts, in Boston.

So, after about a millisecond of thought I immediately told her yes!!

The images today are just a few of the wonders she now has in her shop, I will be listing a few in my shop later on as well, but Lori has the majority of the pieces available.

She has even been kind enough to run a contest where you can win of the necklaces, you can find that here. Make sure you head there and leave a comment and you just might win!

The collection is still in it's early stages, it will be expanding in the coming weeks.

Speaking of collections, the aceos I showcased a few days ago are all but sold out, and a new set is making their way into the shop in the coming days as well, so keep your eyes peeled.

(not actually peeled mind you, as that seems disgusting, and I do have a severe eye phobia)

more tomorrow.

Name Game and Other Assorted Stuff

Good morning!!! First, I want to let you all know that I have been featured on the most amazing blog, called Stainless Steel Droppings, the interview is pretty extensive and it's a great feature.

Please if you get the chance you should check it out, you can read all about my work, my obsessive love for comics and books, and even memories of a "Barbie" themed fashion show I went to as a child.

Carl, the genius behind Stainless Steel is doing a wonderful scholarship fund-raiser for a dear friend that passed away as well, I am honored to be among the people that he chose to spotlight during this special week.

so...since hopefully you will all be heading over there to read that, I will keep today's post short, it is a meme with a google based theme, strangely my answers all very spot on in some cases.

1: Type in “[your name] needs” in the Google search:

Are You There Blog...it's me, Margaret?

Hello all....

so anyone know what my blog title is a reference to, or am I showing my age in a really horrible way.

anyway, I know I have been missing in action but I swear to you all....I've been working on something that was taking a chunk of time.

It has long been a dream of mine to self publish a small book of selected poems and art to accompany it....the problem being....I am petrified to show my poetry to anyone.

it was a conundrum

now, I know....I know when I am scared of something that means it is something I really need to do.

so, as of right now, my first small collection of Poetry is available in my shop, it is called "Words & Pictures" and I hope you like it very much.

phew...ok, it's scary even blogging about it.

anyway...I have more exciting news that I will be posting about tomorrow and the new Petite Heights strip will be posted later today as well.

xoxoxo

Petite Heights? part II

good morning/day to you all!

Petite Heights will be posted sometime later on Monday...yes, we know that this is 2 weeks in a row that our Sunday comic strip is late, and I, Keith, the artist apologize profusely.

As with last weeks family visit, life got in the way. Due to the summer's increased scheduling dilemmas, I am announcing the official "summer vacation" for Petite Heights, as I adjust to a new work schedule while juggling a boat load of time consuming endeavors, I have found that there is just not enough time in the day to do all that needs to get done and still somehow find time to sleep.

July 22nd 2007 was our first Petite Heights web comic, for total so far of 49 strips. I could cheat and say that the "best of" classic Petite Heights counted as three strips...but I won't.

We swore to ourselves that we would do this for a year, so come July 27th...Petite Heights will be on a Hiatus until the last weekend of September or first week of October.

This will give me time to re-energize the strip and get ahead of schedule, allowing me to not rush my work. To be honest I am not happy with what I have done, the jokes are funny, but I feel like I have been rushing the art side of things and it shows.

So...we will march towards the end of our first full year and come fall get ready for Petite Heights Season II.

thanks so much for all your kind words and encouragement.
