Summer is here!

Ok Summer isn't "technically" here but it's 90 degrees out and vending season is in full swing!

Jeez it's been so long since I posted I don't even know where to begin!

I guess I'll start with what's been my goal for the last few years...

I got in to Market Day!! WOO HOO! Here's a picture of the June Market Day. My table is pretty sad in my opinion. I need to work on my displays. My issue is I enjoy making the jewelry a lot more then the "business" stuff.

But I've had fantastic response to my work...and even my display! It's been great so far meeting so many different people. Vendors and customers. I love doing this!

My next show is Reiman Gardens Art in the Garden on July 7th.

Very excited about this one. I was here last year and the response was great. The only bad part was the weather. Typical Iowa summer. One minute a thunderstorm is rolling through and the next it's 100 degrees with 1000% humidity.  Hoping for a lot better weather this year!


On a brussels sprouts note:  Fried Brussels Sprouts from Zombie Burger + Drink Lab!  Otherwise known to me as "HEAVEN"

Truly an annoying day

It started out crappy. My 3 year old son has a cold. But in the middle of the night he woke up screaming that he couldn't breath. Of course I was worried.  But this morning, he woke up and seemed fine. I was supposed to go to my weekly yoga class. But hubby asked me to take the boy to the doctor. Well, duh.
So we go to the doctor which was a 2 hour ordeal.
Then home.
My hubby decided he wanted to re-finish the kitchen floor. So he seals off the kitchen and I'm basically stuck in my son's room ALL DAY with him.
Anyone who's been around a sick 3 year old will understand why this was not fun for 8 hours.
and it was 30 some degrees out today. It's February in Iowa....30 something does not happen!!

So I'm crabby.
I didn't get to make anything today. But I did order some more bails for scrabble tile pendants. and I sketched, when I could, some designs.
Tomorrow will be my day to create.

yes...that's what I'll just keep telling myself.
In the meantime, I've added a gallery of image from my etsy store. You should take a gander.

Have I shared this Brussels Sprouts recipe yet?
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan and Cashews?

hmmm...maybe I'll wait
