Our second day of sun back to back in a long time. We have had alot of rain here in the Midwest, luckly no flooding yet. The last two weekends for the farmers market have been rained out and etsy has been soooo slow. I have a custom order to finish up this week and I am thinking of adding the market at the Territories this Sunday. I hope the weather holds out. Making jewelry for the Local Color show on June 26th, can't wait to see what that brings :). Busy here today with outside work, hope you are having a great day. Here is a picture I found of my daughter Erin that my sister Susan painted when Erin was abou 8. You can see more of Susan and her husbands Scotts work at the link on the right.

Between company the garden and the farmers market, which was a bust last week :( I have been getting ready for the Local Color show in Scales Mound. Five local artist are going be offering their wonderful handmade products. The show is going to be held at the Scales Mound Town hall on June 26th from 10am to 4:30pm. Jewelry, handmade house hold items, paintings, clothing and journal are just some of the things that will be for sale. The Scales Mound Summerfest is also going on that same day so come on out for the fun!

I will at Galena Beads from 10am to they close :P  Lampwork demos will be going on all day.

I am finishing up with the last things I need to do before Saturday.  I stopped production yesterday to concentrate on carding and pricing.  This is a change from shows I have done in the past.  I would work on inventory up until the last minute.  It was crazy making.  Since it has been a while since I have done shows, I decided to make it a little easier on my self.  You are probably saying, hey when are you going to list some new stuff in your Etsy store also :P.  I know I haven't had any new things up in a couple of weeks.  As soon as this show is over I will be listing a lot of NEW styles of beads.  I even have some new mixed media things I will be listing.  My Etsy store will be on vacation mode tomorrow through Sunday.  All of my inventory will be going to the show with me.  So if you want something that is in my store now, get it before tomorrow as I can't be sure it be available on Sunday.  We have had great weathe...
