Mom & I are having a lot of fun making, baking and experimenting with some of the wonderful items purchased from the bead shows here in Tucson. Now, the sun is finally out, new pictures will be snapping with our new marco discovery:) oh boy.............I get my hair cut tonight, finally! I hate it when it gets long & yucky. I am sure I will have to color it as soon as I get it cut cause of all the gray hair I am finding, sigh. I love my wisdom but this old body needs to go away LOLOLOL...

I am actually thinking about putting both Etsy stores on vacation until we can get going on these pictures.....

Prayers!

Please pray for the success of the show tomorrow, Tom's knee will hold up (it has been hurting for a year & finally he goes into the doctor, we will learn more later) and that we can sell loads of stuff, meet more people and most importantly, have a great time.

I will be sure to bring a camera so you can all see the booth and my poor sign, be gentle.....:)

Have a happy and fulfilling weekend and both shops will be on vacation mode starting @1615 pst. :)

Hooray it is Friday!

I am one pooped out person. I can not keep working late because I am going to make myself sick. BUT almost all the stuff is ready for the show next weekend:) Just have to find a few more things and then we are ready to go:)

Have a wonderful weekend!

My show

Mom's beautiful piece!

They received my application and money hooray! So, I am going home & working on price tags and making more jewelery for one of my stores in San Antonio who contacted me as well, oh that burden has been lifted off my shoulders:)

Excitement for today

I was contacted by a wonderful lady who reads this blog and noticed our jewelery and wants us to do a show in Arizona:) I am thrilled and very very flattered!

http://www.ecolivingfest.org/ is the website. I can only do one day but there is always next year!!

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back from vacation

Mom & I had such fun. Shopping for beads and yes, I have found my wedding dress!! It is beautiful! Mom bought it for me:) Now, Tom has mom, brother, sister-in-law & nephew approval. My other brother lives in Minnesota and may not be done here & then it is the dad. Yes, my dad who still thinks I am 5 and I don't need a man, they are trouble & you will get hurt:) We will break that news to him in November after he meets Tom.

Beading news: We used my ICE resin for the first time. THAT STUFF STINKS! OH MY LORD IT WAS BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our finished projects look great, will take pictures but sheesh, nasty nasty smell. I should have done it outside but I don't want dirt in my resin & I do live in Arizona. I had every fan, windows open to get rid of that smell, yuck. It is so easy to work with but the odor, oh boy.

I said congrats to Greg from Green Girls Studios about their upcoming little boy:) Such a talented family & of course, bought more Green Girl stuff. Mom actually made some jewelery that is pretty steam punk looking! I almost fell out of my chair:) Go monkey mom go!!

The meeting went great with mom & Tom & Sadie:) Sadie was all loving on mom, ignored me except when I had food, then I got her attention again, goofy dog:)

rainy day in Tucson

BUT.....I noticed several tents being raised and you wonder why that is exciting??? The Tucson beads shows are starting next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait. A beaders/jewelers paradise right outside my front door. I am so excited but so broke:( I being a pearl addict will try to purchase strings of pearls. I find myself putting pearls in almost 98% of the jewelery I make.
