What Great Times

I've been busy and I think I have gone a bit metal crazy but I have been having a good time. My friend, Colleen, spent the weekend getting her son off to school in Florida. My friend, Kathy, spent time with her son who is staying in Atlanta for the summer. My friend, Margaret, is spending a week with her son who is visiting. My friend, Amy, is spending a month with her son and going through the driver's ed experience. It's a beautiful thing. I must be content to spend the time with hubby and the animals ~ and I am! We finished the exterior renovations on our home on Friday with the addition of hand rails for the front porch. I am so pleased.
On Saturday, Lisa, who gave me the opportunity to help her with her wedding jewelry tied the knot. Here's a picture she sent me last week with the flower girls in their dresses and the necklaces I made. Their dresses are beautiful and are the same hue as the dress of the bride. I can't wait to see the bride's pictures.
I made several necklaces this weekend but the one here is one of my favorites. It's cinnabar, quartz, and carnelian with lots of antique gold chain. It's a stunner!

It's Good News

I got into a show I have been wanting to do. It's the Holiday Festival at Dunwoody United Methodist Church. All the money made by the church is used to fund their Habitat for Humanity Houses. It's a big festival so I'm pretty excited. I'll be selling wind chimes and mobiles for that show. It's in November so I'll be in production mode during the summer months. I'm very excited! It's a juried show so I'm very grateful to have made the cut. Look for me there!

Sunday's Show

HOT! That's what it was yesterday...... It was almost 100 degrees yesterday at the Spring Fling show. Colleen and I nearly sweated away. Luckily, we had a fan and a canopy or we could not have made it through the day. We arrived about 11:00 and starting setting up for a 12:00 startup time. I did OK but I did learn a lot and will be better prepared. The primary thing being to wear my swimming suit so I can take a dip in the pool when it gets too hot. Colleen and I will be updating our items for the next show to make sure that we can take turns giving each other breaks. We have very different stuff and work independently but we enjoy each other's company so much we like doing this sort of thing together. I met some of the people that my husband knows and I think I have a new name "David's Wife". I've been called worse. It was fun and a friend of David and me, Angela, shared the booth. Her stuff was very different, too, so we had a good selection for people to choose from. I will be working this week and next to get organized for the show on the 21st. I love the creating but the job of running a business can be hard when I'd much rather be putting metal to metal or making something that sparkles...

I've Been Busy

In getting ready for the show on Sunday, I created a few new items.

What a Great Weekend!

I spent the weekend with the family - The Lord, Moseley, and McLeod family reunion was held in the North Georgia town of Blue Ridge. We had three cabins. One for the younger generation and one for the older generation. There was one very small cabin that David and I stayed in Saturday night. We called in the HoneyMoon cabin. We had cool weather - in the 70s the entire time. It stormed Sunday and we were unable to go on a planned pantoon boat ride but we still had a wonderful visit together. I did get some beading done. The necklace I'm wearing in the picture with David is the one I put together while on this trip. (This is what I look like on the second day of vacation and the rain has set in.) My first creation in a week. I was starting to Jones.
