Austin Dam Show 2009!

This year's Dam Show was fabulous! Awesome music, lots of kind folks, new friends and old. I'm telling you guys, start planning for next year! If you love bluegrass and jam band music, the Dam Show is the place to be!

Let the season begin!

The Craft show/festival/ market season has officially begun for me! This first one was a new one for me ...and probably not a repeat for years to come. It was indoors and fairly quiet for all the tables that were set up...very different from what I'm used to! I missed the sunlight, the music and grass under my feet....

I'm glad I checked it out, and I look at it as an opportunity to get back into the flow, to remember how everything goes and write down what I've forgotten. I had great company with Mama Betsy at the table right next to me, selling her gorgeous paintings! Baby Miles was there too and we did have quite a day!

This was not the crowd for us, but we got it all out there and I managed to cram everything onto one small table and keep a smile on my face! Harrumph! Just try to confine me to one table!

Bring it on! I'm ready now!

There's a Monster...

...In my basket!

Monster softies were my priority today (among other things like raising peaceful children) and we all had fun with them! By bedtime, everyone had either made one for themselves or had been gifted with one and I still had five in the basket for the craft show this weekend! Gotta love those monsters!

Decisions

I'm running behind on my to-do list for an upcoming craft show this weekend and when I turned over my card for the day, it made me take a deep breath and smile....the decision card! Reinforcing the need to cut out what is not an absolute necessity. Permission to decline. I am definitely the person who needs to hear that! So helpful!

Think Green!

Everything is greening up nicely! I'm longing for those warm, green days when laundry blows on the line and bread rises in the kitchen while I get stitchy outside with my children! It's on it's way, right?
