This is my dog begging me to play with her. I am her busy designing away and will take a short break cause her acting has finally convinced me. Her whining has finally gotten to me.

I am coming along with my childrens items. Take a look at these cuties! Fresh water pearls and Swarovski crystals. Just precious!

The Flying Pig Cafe

Earlier this summer, I ordered a huge cupcake as the birthday cake for my husband from the Flying Pig Cafe. Well I am excited because they just moved their cafe right next to Treasure Hunters Gallery. They serve sandwiches, soups, salads, ice cream and waffles. They are the cutest little cafe in Historic Downtown Richmond, TX. Their decor has flying pigs everywhere and lots of Elvis memorabilia. As soon as I get a chance I will take pictures and post them.....

I have decided to start making jewelry for little girls as well. This is one of the first pieces. 14k gold fill with turquoise. Very dainty and fun!

My purchase

I absolutely love the art by Anne Julie Aubrey. I purchased this print last saturday and am anxiously awaiting my purchase. I think she is extremely talented! I might even start a little collection of her prints. We shall see....

Boy was it hot today! It was tough but thank goodness I brought a fan!!! Like always, I had a great time. I always meet some very interesting people.
As I chat with people passing through my booth, I find out that many of them have never been to Lacenterra before. Hopefully by word of mouth we will have more traffic as the fall begins. I am banking on fall.....
One thing I learned was that Sam's Club sells the EZ up tent package for a little over $200. The package includes the tent, 4 sides, and a canopy. If only I had known!!!!!!!!! Oh and the fabric is thicker than the one I purchased. So FYI.........

So I really don't care for turquoise because EVERYBODY uses it here in the south, BUT I found a strand I like. The ticket to making turquoise look luxurious is... combine with gold and use faceted beads!!!!
I know this will sell! It says I have fabulous taste darrrrrrrrrling!

Craft show apron

I finally finished my craft show apron prototype! I will be wearing this on Saturday for the show on top of my shorts. MAN IT IS GOING TO BE HOT TOMORROW!!!!!
SO this fabric is from Alexander Henry and it is called fashion girls. Very appropriate for me!!
After tomorrow's show, I will see how my apron holds up. I already have some thoughts on what to change or add but I will wait and see.

This what I am currently listening to as I am designing my show apron ( fotos coming later )...

New items

Here are a couple of pieces that I have designed for this upcoming Artisan Fair at the Farmers Market at Lacenterra in Katy. I am looking forward to this Saturday but I am fearing that the weather will just be plain hot.... I pray for a cool lil breeze and no humidity or rain. See you at Lacenterra between 8am-12pm!
