Well hello Spring!!! Not that it really feels like spring here in Nebraska... So I sat in at a friend's table at the Lincoln Gem & Mineral show this past Sunday. We had a lovely time! And I even had a few sales. Two of which were new items that I am testing... With wonderful reviews from the shoppers! I call them Terrarium Chains... They are for Air plants or small Succulents. I will try to post a picture, but I'm having troubles getting my phone to do what I want it to... Chow for now... Christhina?

Well Happy New Year to ALL!!!
2018 is off and running...
I am hoping for a better year than the last!
Have had a couple serious medical issues in 2017,
but I'm on the mend now.
Doctors say it will still be several months before I am totally
back to normal. Which is still a little iffy...
The husband says that I have Never been normal! he,he,he...
Started working on my Show schedule for 2018...
There are several shows that I want to be a part of this year,
but I'm not so sure that I will be able to...
Due to one of my medical issues, which has left me rather gimpy
with my left leg and foot. I have to where a compression sock to
keep the swelling down and sometimes use a cane.
I had to cancel out of all my Fall and Holiday shows for 2017...
I still have days where I just kinda want to sit and cry.
Because I just can't do some of the things that I WAS doing
only a few months ago!
I know that I have said this several times before,
but I am going to say it again... I am going to try VERY hard
to post on a regular basis.
Maybe once a month to start with...
I do hope this post finds everyone well & happy for the new year!!!
chow for now... Christina =^,^=

Well, it seems that all I do is apologize for not posting on my blog........
2015 was just a very ruff yeat! Without pulling all my readers into the mess that is growing fude with my brother... I spent most of the year at my family property trying to clean up the big a@@ mess that he left...
Though, there is STILL a LOT of work to do at the property, we can relax a little now.
Which gives me time to try and focus on my Art work and the shows that I would like to do this year.
I started working on that this week, by applying on-line to a show in Omaha. Hand Made Omaha! I am SUPER excited!!! My friend Jodie Marshall has made it in to "H-M-O" a few times, and it proves to be a great show every time!
I also sent my application in for the Spring Affair show. I plan to update my show callender this week as well.

Happy Memorial Day to everyone!!!
When I was a kid... It seemed like every Memorial Day when Dad
actually had the weekend off. Him & mom would plan projects that
had been waiting to be done for several months.
But never fail... Mother Nature had other plans for us!
Rain, Rain, Rain... and yet more Rain...
We have had good weather this year!
Have a wonderful day!!! chow for now, christina =^,^=

Spring has sprung...
But here in Nebraska we still have a chance of Snow!!!
Go figure... :)
I have been very busy with my paying job, and working on my 2014
Spring and early Summer show schedule.
It is all looking very good so far, with a couple things to report...
Although our phones have been shut off for several months, we are
planning to get them turned back on in the next couple of weeks.
And with that I will also be able to accept credit cards from now on!
I now have a "Square" along with a new/used device that will allow
me to use it. I am so looking forward to finely being able to say,
YES I accept credit cards!!! :)
For my first few shows, as my Calendar over to the right shows...
A Garden theme show in April, and two vintage shows in June.
I am hoping to locate one for mid May too.
I am VERY excited for my first show of the season, A Spring Affair!
This year will be the 28th annual Spring Affair! The Midwest's largest
Gardening event, with more than 500 different varieties of plants for
sale. Along with over 30 venders all showcasing Garden/Yard
related items. Including... Garden Art, Ornaments & Sculptures,
Hand crafted Wood Furniture & Bird Houses, along with other
Garden related items, and very valuable information.
ALL under one roof!!! At the Lancaster Event Center, in Lincoln NE.
As for the 2 Vintage shows in June, I will tell you all more about them
a little later. For now I think I will say Good Day, and I hope to post
pictures of what I plan to take to the Spring Affair soon...

Well... Lets try this again...
It has been over 4 years since I started this venture of an Art Blog.
NEVER expecting to be doing it with out my mother to share the
highlights with! It has been very hard for me to get back in to the
swing of things in the Art and Show world!
I tried so hard to get things rolling last year, and started off with
the Lincoln area ABATE Bike Show. But it did not go as well
as I had hoped, as in past years sales were very good!
The 2013 show did not end as well... :(
With the rest of the year having many bad moments, it was just
rocky all the way around!!!
So... This year... Well, I am not even going to give highlights
of my ideas! I did post new items to my Calendar here on my
blog. And I do have ideas and plans for things. But it seems
when I spell it all out in my post, things just don't go as planned.
With that said... I am "hoping" to do good things this year!!!
baby steps??? will give it a try, again???

I finely got it done!!!
Jayce D. was so happy!!! She ordered this scarf from
me at a show quite some time ago, I am ashamed to say...
But it is done now, and she just LOVED it!!!
I presented it to her at the Bike show this last weekend
at the Lancaster Event Center in Lincoln NE.
Everyone can look forward to scarves like this in an
array of colors at next years Bike show...

Working to get back on track...
Well, well, well.....
It is now over a month in to the year 2013, and my how time flies!
But not only when you are having fun either... :)
I am working diligently to get my Blog & my business back on track.
I have a list of new shows that I am planning to apply for, along with a few that I have already been excepted to.
Be sure to check back every few weeks to see what shows I have added to my calendar.
For the past several months I have been working on sketches for new
Jewelry, ideas for displays, gathering vintage items to be re-purposed
into new useful things. I have also added beautiful canvas prints of our
photography to my inventory. Along with really cool "Hat Box"
containers of all sizes with our photography on them. Not to mention
a few new items for the Garden that I have been perfecting.
And, as soon as I locate my card reader I will take some pics. of ear-
rings to list in my Etsy shop 4-sale. I am also planning to clearance
out some of our older "Picture Art" Note Cards, with listing small lots
of 2, 4, 6, and 8 cards in my Etsy shop.
I will be posting more info again soon!!! Baby steps to start! :)

Well, Hello... after a long weekend at the Lincoln Women's Expo, I am taking a couple of days to recover.
It was a fun time, just like last year...
I was all ready to post pictures of my display and tell U all about it, but... I can't locate my card reader
to post my pictures. So I will have to go look for the little cable that I can use to plug the camera into my laptop. Wish me luck... be back soon...
chow 4 now... christina =^,^= meow...

Is it 2011 yet???
I can't really explain why I have been away for so long... I have alot of personal & family issues out and about right now that have been monopolizing my time. They have me so confused and scatter brained that I don't know if I am coming or going...
I would love to use my blog as a sounding board to vent about things that are going on in my life, to talk and get some outside opinions about some very important issues that I am having with my brother right now. The issues have been apparent since shortly after our mother's death in October of 2009. I just don't know what to do, most days I just want to sit in a corner and cry... And since mid September things just keep getting worse...
Thus the large gap in postings to my blog.... I am truly sorry for my lack of interest and lack of postings... It may be a few more months be4 I come out of this slump with the goings on with my brother... If ANYONE has any words of encouragement that may help me, feel free to send me a comment.

it's my Birthday...
Okay, not 2 day, but 2marrow...
Not sure if I'm excited about it or not... Being the first birthday without my mom, and come on... is any one over 40 EVER excited about a birthday??? Well I was a couple years ago, it was a surprise 40th gathering on my 42nd. That was part of the surprise... It was really HOT, so hot we could not even stand being in the beer garden... A good time was had by all... My wonderful husband even backed me a cake and it was way yummy... He took pictures too, of me and all my guests. So I have wonderful pictures of my birthday to enjoy forever, one particular picture that really means the world to me... it is a picture of me with my mom and my brother, probably one of the last pictures taken of her, and I treasure it...
I just went to look for those pictures so I could share them with you, but no luck 2day...
they R on safari.... just like half of everything else that I ever look 4... I will look again later...
Now on with new business... I have found my little card reader to use my memory card with my lap top, but apparently I have forgotten how to use it. Because I spent 3 hours last night playing with it and saving pictures to post. Then when I got in to my blog and started working... I had nothing...
it was very disappointing.... I will try that again later too...
I will also be trying a bread & butter pickle recipe that a dear friend gave me. It was an emotional thing the day she gave me a taste of them. It made me think of all of my mom's recipes that I will never have now.
She was a master cook with most of her recipes in her head. I can only hope that I will find some of her canning secrets in a notebook or jotted down on something when I get to going through her stuff.
Well... I think that is enough sad stuff for now... I will try to find my b-day pictures from 2 years ago so I can share some of them with U all... have a good day... christina =^,^= meow...

I want 2 thank ALL my friends, and customers for stopping by my sale, a good time was had by all.... U know who U R... :)
