I had a pretty good weekend. On Saturday, l did the festival with my good friend Colleen and her friend Terry was there as well. Terry had furtniture and vintage dresses. Colleen didn't have nearly half her stuff out but she couldn't focus on the event because her beautiful cat, Bebe, is missing. I'm very sad about BeBe, too, because she's the mother of my wonderful cat, Moriarty. Moriarty took a journey and was gone about two weeks. Until he tells us exactly what he did and where he went, he's on house restriction. Enough about that dark period. Suffice to say, I know what Colleen is going through. It did rain on us about 2 and we had shelter of a canopy for our persons and stuff. I sold mainly jewelry but did sell a windchime and generated interest in them. Fun Stuff!. I still don't have a computer at home and the weekend was so busy I didn't get any new pictures of the show, or any of my stuff, YET.
Sunday was Homecoming at my husband's church, Martha Brown Methodist. This is the same church he went to as a child and he's now rejoined. The church celebrated it's 115th year in existence. Pretty impressive. I then had my Atlanta Polymer Clay Guild meeting so there you go. The weekend was done. I have a ladies group that meets at my home every Sunday night so I was very ready to get to sleep by the end of the evening. It was a great weekend.

All by Myself -Or- Up before Dawn

I'm an early riser. I was up this a.m. about 3:30 and started working on getting all my wind chimes, mobiles, and jewelry ready for the Inman Park Festival this weekend. I got the wind chimes and mobiles ready and did some earrings but then the next thing I knew it was 6:00 and I had to start getting ready for my "day" job. I will have items from $1.00 up. I am thrilled to be doing this because I love what I do and I'll be with a dear friend so that makes it even more special. A couple of other friends, and I hope new friends, will be showing up as well so that makes it even more wonderful. I've got my camera repaired so expect some pictures here soon as well.
Wish me good sales!

I'm getting ready for a festival this weekend. It's the Inman Park Festival here in Atlanta and so far the weekend is looking perfect for it. I will be at the corner of McClendon and Clinton at my dear friends', David and Colleen, house. We will have a lot of wonderful things for sale in the front of her house and in the back of it. I have windchimes and mobiles not to mention my beautiful jewelry. My art is so different than anything I've ever seen. I hope people like it - and buy and enjoy it. I'll spend each night this week preparing for the event.

Then on May 3rd I'll be in Alpharetta for a Psychic Fair at Inner Quest Metaphysical Church. That should be a lot of fun, too.

The next thing I'll be doing is the Spring Fling at Ridgeview in Marietta on June 8th. I'll be introducing a new line at that show and I'm very excited about unveiling it there.

I don't have any new pictures to show because my camera is being repaired. I should have it back very soon and then you will be able to see what I am so excited about.

My First Time

This is my first blog and I am very excited, nervous, and wondering what it is exactly that I am doing. I make jewelry, mobiles, wind chimes, and more. That's what my website says and that's what I do. I also have a regular job. I love my job but my creations are my passion.

I've spent the last couple of years learning how to do my craft. I continue to learn. The experience of of creating is very spiritual for me and I try to do some everyday. I am also experiencing great agony in trying to organize my studio into workable and usable space.

The studio makes my husband claustrophobic but I've gotten to the stage where he can actually walk into the room and not have a panic attack. Progress not perfection is my goal.
