Yes, I agree, dog hair can be as bad as dust ... but when they look at you with those great big brown eyes who can be upset! Have fun with your club ... a little dog hair on the pages of a good book is a plus.

I love the fact you take photos for all of us to see.<br /><br />Here's a little tip that I use when I use glitter or glossy accents on a piece of art or element, I cover it with a pyrex dish until it is totally dry -- no dust or bits of paper floating into it.<br /><br />You have a dust problem and I have a dog hair problem. Our golden retreiver has really thick hair and with spring it comes out in hands full. I am constantly cleaning to the point of driving DH nuts. Friday I have book club here and I'm already stressed knowing that hair will float in no matter what. I don't let the dog upstairs where I do art but she pretty much as the run of the house otherwise. I will keep her out of the living area on Friday but knowing Jim he will say, "she needs to socialize with your friends." I can't win at times.<br /><br />RELAX and when the season changes, you can do a good dust removal.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Carolyn<br /><br />PS I saw some texture from your new plates on one of the envelopes.

A bummer about the dust - thankfully it is not all year long. We are having a heat wave and I am finding my new studio too hot to work in in the afternoon. We just have to adjust... Your rainy season is starting and ours is ending. Already I miss it - hot and dry is not my favorite, but we do the best we can and try to look for the positive, right? You are so good at that!!pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994187495930211144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451952027070546133.post-16289519045983902402011-05-03T13:49:03.948-05:002011-05-03T13:49:03.948-05:00I love those tin doors!

Dust is amazing stuff. You are right to accept it and just do what you can. I love the quote you posted and it is so true.

Glad you managed to conquer it in the end! Your mail art looks wonderful, I think I will show the pictures to my post lady! Your house looks so cosy now, hope you are finding enough time to rest! I am totally down in the dumps today, so far down that it can only go up again! Hugs, ValerieValerie-Jaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538850820168903865noreply@blogger.com
