So it has been a busy and tiresome week, and I apologize for the lack of updates. Anyways, I have added a few upcoming shows to the 'shows' section and one of them includes City Wide Open Studios. This will be my second year that myself and boyfriend (www.davidapuzzo.com) will be participating.

"Over the past eleven years, CWOS has drawn thousands of visitors to explore New Haven’s neighborhoods while discovering artists, galleries, and revamping perceptions of the city.

This year CWOS features one big festival weekend, October 2 – 5, activating five neighborhoods in New Haven with local artist's open studios, temporary open space studios and 15 artists-in-residence in each community.

Centrally located in downtown New Haven, Artspace hosts a main City Wide Open Studios exhibition, featuring the work of 150 artists highlighting the best CWOS has to offer. New this year will be the addition of a printed CWOS Artist Directory, featuring a full-page artist profile on each participant, available at Artspace year-round as a lasting guide to CWOS artists." (www.cwos.org)

Last year the artists were provided one central location to display their work at a local middle school. It was really neat because the school wasn't being used so all the rooms were completely empty and we were able to transform the rooms into our personalized art space. This year is a little different. We were given the opportunity to find our own individual location/studio to show our work. Well David will be opening his studio in early September so we decided we would invite a few other artists to join us to display their work. There will be a shuttle service to visit various locations throughout the New Haven area. If you are interested in or would like more info about the show visit www.cwos.org

Today really felt like a fall day. From the time I left for work it was a little cool out and remained so into the evening. It was kind of nice, but at the same time I realized summer is almost over! It went by so quickly, but I am looking forward to fall and apple cider and pumpkins and Halloween. I'm really looking forward to the fall this year.

I sat outside after collecting various supplies for some new work. It was so relaxing with the swift breeze and cool air that I had an extra nudge from creativity. I'm really proud of my work in the past few months and feel positive. I've been avoiding turning on the TV at night to veg out and have been putting my energy into other productive ventures. I'm in a really calm and positive place in my life and I feel confident it will reflect in my work...

Well, I guess that's enough rambling for today...night night!!!!

Well I've been pretty busy this past week and I thought I would update you with what's been going on. One of my friends got married this past Saturday and it was weird that someone in my inner circle was getting hitched. I've been to quite a few weddings but none were for my close friends. I guess I feel like my friends and I are getting old, lol. On Sunday my boyfriend and I went to a Mets game @ Shea Stadium, it was the last time I would step foot in the stadium, since the new one is opening next year. It rained a bit, but I was able to get through the game with the always enjoyable oversized hot dog...

Anyways, despite being busy lately I've been able to still push out orders and am getting more work done than ever. I will probably post some of the stuff I worked on sometime next week. I will be updating the shows section as soon as I confirm dates, so I hope I can see some of you at future shows!

Here are a few pictures from my crazy weekend!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their feedback since I posted all new work! I really appreciate your kind words and love hearing from you!  I will be looking for models to wear my jewelry for the next photoshoot, so if you are in the Connecticut area let me know so we can set something up!

The Vicious Kitty is also on myspace, so don't be shy...And to keep up to date with sales, upcoming shows and more send me your email so you can be added to the mailing list! Once you are on the mailing list, your name will automatically be entered into monthly contest giveaways and offers.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Tomorrow one of my good friends is getting married and I can't wait to shake my booty!

Have a great weekend!
