Just Relaxing

I am taking a few days off....maybe a few weeks off from designing. I stressed myself out the past few weeks getting ready for the show this past Saturday. It's time to relax and spend some time with...

A & C

I will still be blogging and my ETSY shop will still be open. I just won't be making jewelry. I wanted to post some pics of our booth from Sat. so here they are.....

I was very pleased with how it looked. Also, here are some pics of some Soldered Pendants I have left from Sat.

Awesome Weekend

This weekend was my first time having a booth at a craft show and I was very pleased with the results. My sister in law (FiDesigns) & I teamed up as "2 Hip Chicks" and had a awesome time. The weather was great...a little windy...it kept us up and moving. It was blowing so hard our earrings on display would take off flying...so we would go chasing. It was a site to see...made for plenty of entertainment...lol

I will post a picture of our booth soon...hopefully this week. I have to say it was rather cute. We were very happy how it turned out and had many great compliments on it as well as our jewelry.

I would to say a big "Thank You" to all the people of Smithville and surrounding areas for coming out and supporting the Smithville BPW Club and us. All of the encouragement & compliments really mean alot to us.

I will be adding new items to my ETSY shop...I started today but it will be a long process. It takes time, so keep looking back. For now here are some pics of new designs.

Good night!!!!

Georgia on my mind

These cute little pieces are on the way to Georgia...hmmm this reminds me I would like to take the kids to the aquarium in Atlanta. Have you been to it...if so leave me a comment about it. It looks awesome!!

Back to these pieces...a professor at a university ordered these for 8 special students that are graduating. I hope they like them.

On the Road

I have had a great few days....business wise. Here are some pics of pieces that are making their way to new owners.

Headed west to Arizona

Spring has Sprung and is on the road to Tara in Texas.

Headed east to North Carolina

I even sold a necklace that is on the way to Germany...I never thought that would happen..but I am glad it did. I would post a pic of it...but I can't find it on the computer.

I am so grateful for all my customers. Since April 2nd I have sold 10 items on ETSY. Thank you Jesus!!! I was starting to get down about not having sold anything in a month and all of the sudden I am totally blessed. I may go on another dry run for awhile..but that is alright I know it will turn around one day.

Back to work to put out more designs for the craft show next Saturday.

Have a great weekend!!

Alittle Looksie

What a weekend

We had the most horrible weather yesterday.....I love Spring, but I don't like tornadoes that come along with it. I am so thankful I did not take Carson to the Dr. in Murfreesboro. Chris & I had discussed me taking Carson Friday to his pediatrician...he has had a head cold for a few days and the over the counter meds are not working. It all started early Friday morning when Chris left to go to Alabama and the weather was getting bad....little did we know that was just a taste of what was to come.

I stayed awake watching the weather and got up about 7:30, still undecided what to do. I had this feeling not to go to Murfreesboro so I didn't call. About 9:30am it was still on my mind about taking him but I decide no....if I called now it would be afternoon before we could get in and the 2nd round of storms were starting up. I am so thankful I went with my feeling...we would have been there when the tornadoes hit.

When the storms starting brewing...I started calling our family to see if they wanted to come to our house cause we have a basement with a storm shelter under our front porch. Several people came...after it was all over Andrew & Carson got to play with Baby Silas....who slept through the whole storm. Here are some pics from the post storm/play date with Silas.

Andrew loves his cousin Silas...

Andrew wanted his, Carson & Silas' picture made....the reason he is smiling so BIG

Carson also loves his cousin Silas.

Off to bed...Easter Bunny comes in the morning

Egg Hunt and Haircuts

What a day....Started off with Andrew's Preschool Easter Party & Egg Hunt and ended with both the boys getting haircuts. This was a special one for Carson...it was his 1st. A sad day for mom...another 1st for her baby....her last baby. Here are some pics.

The cute little Carrot Bags I made for the class party.

Andrew in action.


With his basket full of goodies!!

Carson being a big boy.

What is she doing to me?

Checking it out in the mirror...Check out the "Old Man" hair in the back.

The first cut

With his treat from Ms. Melissa for being a BIG boy.

Big Brother was a great role model for little brother.

Andrew loves to go see Ms. Melissa...He always ask.."where is my treat". Gotta love kids!!!

And tonight I made some pics of Baby Silas, so be on the lookout for another cute little boys picture soon. I hope to enjoy my day off tomorrow with some shopping some time. I still don't have the boys Easter outfits or myself. I have a feeling I probably won't have one...but the boys have something they could wear...but I would like to have them a new outfit just for Easter.

Have a GREAT Good Friday!!!
