Preparing for my Open House



Open House 2021


Above is a picture of my 2021 Open House. Looks nice, doesn't it? Well here's a little secret. My yard doesn't always look this nice. I wish it did, but it doesn't. It takes alot of work to achieve this look, and it's time to do it again. So I thought I'd give you a peek behind the scenes of what happens here at Studio 419.


The following pictures show how things usually look around here.





There is much to be done. Not only yard work, but also clerical duties. So here is a little list that I put together, no particular order.


  • Keep grass manageable

  • Pull weeds

  • Fill in rabbit holes (tripping hazard)

  • Add prices to sculpture

  • Set up canopies

  • Arrange for live music

  • Have postcards printed

  • Submit info to press

  • Have a beer

  • Set up tables

  • Arrange pedestals

  • Get some muscle to help

  • Post this blog entry

  • Clean bird droppings off outdoor pieces

  • Spend some time worrying

  • Fret about the weather

  • Distribute flyers

  • Have a beer

  • Clean up work area

  • Tend to broken boards on patio

  • etc, etc, etc...........




Below are some photos of my less than organized sculpture that I have to organize, clean, price, and carry up the steps to arrange.





Please don't get me wrong.I love doing all of this. Open House Day is by far my favorite day of the year. Having you all visit is wonderful. I will keep you posted as we get nearer. Thanks.
