Sept 1? where has the summer gone?

Well.. it sure has been awhile since I've been on here... there's been alot of reasons.. internet booting out when I thought I would do a post.. too much to say.. then feeling like I had nothing to say...lol... piddling around on Fb when I should be doing other things.. working alot, Chaya being here for a few days..trying to get things painted for the fall, did some canning/pickling... hmmmm just been busy I guess...I did a couple of shows.. the one in Hecla and then a family festival in Lockport.. which was fun.. I have a couple of things for the Hecla one I'd like to show you but probably later when I have more time... Thought I should at least post something to try and get back into the groove.. and stop avoiding it..So here is a pic of my tent at Lockport.. I love my tent.. this is the first time I've used it.. and it went up so easy.. it was a beautiful sunny weekend.. that is my friend Heather in the pic.. she helps me at so many shows.. don't know what I'd do without her.. she is awesome..
Now just to show you a process....
Alot of sprayed lightbulbs hey? then
ok so they don't have their toques yet.. but that is coming soon.... was going to load a pic of a finished one.. but internet is not co-operating at all..
Time to get ready for work.. nice to be back.. hope you all are having a wonderful day..

  3. very cute!
    I find I never have time for facebook anymore as I spend too much time on etsy and the blogs, last year it was the other way, I HAD to check facebook! Been meaning to check it lately though...Just got my Sept sketchbook, isn't it like Christmas when a new one comes!

  6. Where has the summer gone is right! Your booth looks great, very inviting. Is that an EZ up tent? Those things are perfect for shows. Cute little bulb heads, I bet they sell like crazy at craft shows.

  7. Yes it is that time of year. How come the canning can't be earlier, fall is way to busy. Love your tent, your friend looks so comfortable, nice to have the help :)
    Wow that is a lot of lightbulbs, you must have a lot of peeps saving them for you. he he. I can picture them with their hats.
    Good luck with future shows. Get some rest if you can. You know how that bronchitis works, always at the most inconvenient times.
    Sound like a mother don't I?

  8. I love my tent like that. Even though I don't do many shows anymore, we use it for so many other things. I am on my second one, having wore out the first one. Great pics of the lightbulbs, you sure have been busy!

  10. They are so cute! I can't believe summer is disappearing either. It has been cold here the last 3 or 4 mornings. It was hot then it was fall.

  11. It sounds like you've been busy! It's good to "see" you again! :)

    We've got one of those tents... they're very useful, aren't they? :)

    And those snowmen? Kathy, they're ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! Your creations are awesome - I hope you sold tons at those shows you did! :D
