Merry Christmas to All

We have had our Christmas due to Family health reasons. I hope all of you have a wonderful and beautiful Christmas. You are in my heart and my prayers.

This angel dog is Penny and you would not believe what my sister and I had to do to get this picture. Did I call her an angel?

My sister, Tricia had her 3rd Chemo treatment on Thursday. So far she is not sick this time. She is halfway finished.

I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this Pay It Forward exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow, or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. So basically, if you comment and you’re on, I’ll send you something that I've made!Once you sign up, copy and paste the above paragraph on your blog, and three other people will receive your handmade gifts

Today I have joined a new group. It is fiberartsandmixedmedia.ning.com. It looks like it can be a lot of fun.
Today is rest day after the three most useless days of my life. We did a show in Edgerton, MO called Pioneer Days and actually sold nothing. It is so depressing to do a terrible show. I really believe the economy is a lot worse than we know. I have another Art Show in 2 weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Getting Ready for the First Show

This is the mad dash week before the first show. I seem to not be making much progress but I shall pervail(I hope). I have seven shows and one trunk show before December. I hope I sell out for every one.

I'm just sitting here tonight pondering where I actually belong in the universe. I seem to run into a lot of deadends. I know most people do but I seem to go the wrong direction at those dead ends more often than not.
Today all of the scare of Mel and her family moving has dissipated, at least for the time being. Rob doesn't seem to be able to find that job that wants to pay him huge amounts of money that he thought he would. They have sold their house and moved in with his Mom where I quess they will be for a while.
Today all I got accomplished is running around and paying the bills. Nothing accomplished in my studio but Mel and I did manage to get Rayce to actually swim!!! YooHoo!!!! We have been working on that all Summer.

To Open or not to open?

After my last art show, I am just about ready to scream. This should have been a great show. Lots of people etc. but I have never sold so little in my career. Some people(family and friends) think I should open a shop. I don't know.

We looked at some spaces yesterday and they are just so expensive.

my work

Useless day

Have you ever had a day that you really didn't want to do anything? Today was one of those days. I have exactly a week before a major art show and aI don't want to do anything.
