Art By Cedar 2008 Calendar!

Last year at this time when I failed to produce a 2007 wall calendar, I promised the people on my mailing list that I would come through with a 2008 calendar. I am pleased to announce that the Art By Cedar 2008 Calendar is now available for purchase.
The calendar features a selection of some of my favorite nature-inspired paintings that you will be able to enjoy throughout the new year.

I’ve got shirts, baby clothes, mugs, coasters, tote bags, magnets and bumper stickers too! If you want a particular painting on a T-shirt, mug, magnet, etc. just let me know–I can probably get it for you.
This past weekend was wonderful. One of my oldest and dearest friends, Ryan, took me contra dancing. (He’d been trying to get me to go for a year or more.) It was twirly good fun and I enjoyed it so much that I’m trying to get some friends together to go again this weekend.
If you’ve never heard of contra dancing, it’s sort of like square dancing but not quite. I highly recommend it, even for people who aren’t typically into dancing. It doesn’t require you to have much grace or innate dancing ability (luckily for me)–they tell you exactly what to do, and there are plenty of nice people to help whenever you do get confused. So Friday night I spent 3 hours stomping and weaving and getting spun around. Weee!
Then Saturday night was the birthday party for one of my other close friends, Shenaz. We had a delicious feast followed by gourmet desserts–one of the party guests, a professional chef, cooked a lot of the meal. Then we lit a campfire in Shenaz’s backyard and fed it pieces of the dead weeping willow from the neighbor’s yard. We roasted marshmallows into the wee hours and had a champagne toast complete with a Lithuanian song and blessing.
Afterwards, we went home and I stayed up till 5:30 am watching a movie, The Host, which I really liked. (It is a Korean horror flick–the corny kind, not the scary kind.) I spent the rest of the weekend getting some reading done and being unbelievably lazy. As far as weekends go, it was primo.
