WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING ? ? ?


Trying to eat healthy.
I've also been going back to the gym.
Not as much as I would like though.


I made a few things for myself.Of course if I have it my girls want it to. I have to make one for each of them to.
I made these bleach tie dyed jeans like the ones I had in the 80's.


and i've been trying to stay focused and get a bunch of stuff made for my upcoming shows.I am actually very motivated right know and came up with even more NEW designs.
I'll take some picks SOON. Stop back and check them out :0)

*** Annual Open House tomorrow ***


And I am not getting enough done.I NEED to clean,set up my display,cook and bake cookies.Blahhhh,I know its worth the effort but it seems like a lot of work.
I already disassembled my sewing area and took it down to my room,set up the christmas tree(I do need to put up some more festive decorations),and did some surface cleaning.
I can't wait to see who all shows up.Its always a surprise !!!
I sent out a bunch of my new postcards for my invitations.I invite some of the artist and customers that I have met at shows,people I see on a regular basis,long time friends and a few other people I have had contact with but never met in person.I hope I remembered everyone ??
It's nice to invite them into my home/studio and visit with them during this time of year.I have a few of my newest designs made up.I'm sure they will be a hit.
Wish Me Luck !!!!!

This is my collection of backpacks I created this week.I have sold all of the ones I made and had to get to work on making new ones.I'm glad there done :0)
