Harmonious Momentum

First off, I just wanted to thank all you wonderful ladies for stopping by my blog and tweeking my confidence just at the time when the "What the Heck am I doing" monster was starting to show it's face a little more often than I was comfortable with. Thx, thx, thx.......xo

After a few distractions and getting a little lost from the creative kingdom, I am back on the right track. It's amazing how much you can get done when you just start and move forward  (there's that mantra again, gotta love it).

Having a family pitch in with their support is such an inspiration in itself. Sometimes it's not as obvious as you would like it to be, but if you look at the big picture, it's always there. I had to step back and look at that BIG picture, and what a difference it made (thanks to a big sister that pointed it out for me when I was feeling a little blue and all alone)
How blessed I am...............

I thought I'd give you a look at where I am in my artist ventures.  I still have twenty days left. Two weeks to craft and the rest to do the final preps. Yeh!

....and to all who support me and for the many others you support in your ordinary days.....thank you a million trillion pounds!

this is where it all started

Moving Forward

This weekend I took the first step towards my next goal for this year......


The Royal Inland Craft Fair in Kamloops, BC

It was something I made myself commit to last year when I realized I wanted/needed to get back to the creative life I left so long ago.
I haven't participated in a craft show for 8 years and haven't left myself much time to prepare, so I'm a bit nervous.


I've decided to just 
"move forward and get done what I can get done" 
(my new mantra)

Just starting has made my weekend very productive..... 
Six more weekends like this and all will be  well!

Happy Discoveries of Days Gone By







A happy discovery in my studio.
Left over decorations I didn't quite finish for the last craft sale I did 6 years ago.
Yey, somewhere to start!
I think a few of these little guys will be a nice compliment with the toques I will be selling.
Well, I better be off to put some personality into these cute little morsels
