So much for promises. Getting ready for the "World's Greatest Studio Tour and Art Show" in November took most of my September and October - but it was well used time. Thanks to SOKY Happenings - the best publication in southern Kentucky - I had wonderful attendance and the greatest sales ever.

A huge thanks to all who stopped by!

The tour was followed up with more and more orders - lots of custom work and religious pieces - and I welcomed it all. I've been taking a bit of a break since Christmas, but my fingers are beginning to get a bit itchy - and I need to hammer some silver for relief! lol

I've been looking around at different Etsy Shoppes and I hope to start letting people know who are my favorites. I love lots of the soaps made by etsy sellers -

The new year has found me wanting to organize! I know people who know this find it amusing - but I've already filled three of the huge contractor Hefty Bags with unnecessaries and throw away stuff - lots of things from back in the 1980s. The impetus for all this organizing began out of the need to put away all the things that I hadto move out of the living room and dining room to make room for the installers to put the new flooring in my house. I've been saving for a long time for this - and it turned out to be even more beautiful than I anticipated.


I love being able to tell people where they can find quality product and quality service, etc., at good prices. The two men who did my floors are seen in the picture above. Russ - a PE teacher - and Greg - who also has a full time job - did my floors (about 800 sq ft) within a week and the work was wonderful. Although I didn't expect it, the clean up was immaculate also!!! I am loving my floor - wish I had done this a long time ago. This floo has changed the entire look of my home.
