Another one bites the dust

Another show down, one more to go. The Handcrafted Holiday boutique that I participated in on Saturday night was a success. The crowd was down compared to last year but I’m really thinking the random warm spell we’ve had didn’t help. People aren’t in a Christmas mood when you can practically wear shorts during the […]

Did someone say shopping?

Come one, come all to the Handcrafted Holiday special shopping event! Bring a friend, bring 2, heck, bring three and head over to Walton Arts Center’s Nadine Baum Studios on Saturday, November 7 between 6PM and 9PM to enjoy some great snacks, tasty drinks, wonderful massages and fabulous shopping! It’s a great chance to buy […]

Finished Halloween SAL yarns!

Finished Halloween SAL yarns!Originally uploaded by Ehwin Goodness – where has the time gone this week? The Autumn months are just flying by and I have hardly taken time to enjoy them! Such is life, right? Actually, I’m lying a bit. I have been enjoying my time spent outdoors at the Farmer’s Markets and I […]

If I pass… if I fail…

If I drop out does anyone give a damn? (thank you BNL for providing the perfect lyrics to start my blog with… yet again) I’m having one of those weeks. I’m not sure if it’s because I spent much of last week doing exactly what I wish I could do monthly (sitting at a craft […]

And down.

Prepare for my most random post ever… seriously… did you prepare yourself? Okay, I warned you… My second year at the Bella Vista Arts and Crafts Festival (my largest and longest show) is behind me. This year was far more successful than last, so there is that. Maybe that makes up for the fact that […]

It’s Craft Fair Time

People from far and wide are beginning to arrive in this area of the country for a week/weekend FULL of craft shows. I can’t even think of how many we have in this area starting tomorrow… a lot… I do know that. They all center around War Eagle – a HUGE 4 day show surrounding […]

New Traditions

baked goods at Christmas time I found myself emmersed in memories of Holidays past last night as I read through my latest food porn magazine (it doesn’t matter which one, all of the November ones do this to me). I’m a sucker for all things Holiday. The period of time between Halloween and New Years […]

I’m Always Reminded

hanging out with a couple of the ladies who reside in the memories of the years I write about in this post. I don’t talk to them everyday but I hope they know they have a HUGE place in my life and thankfully help make up the non-baggage memories 🙂 I am constantly blown away […]

Introducing…

The Ugly. Yes, I’ve been known to spin some bad, very bad yarns. We’ll see how I like this next time I look at it. It might just be a good conversation piece. I was sad again today, still missing my mom. I thought perhaps taking a mental health day to just regroup might be […]

Speak for yourself

No really, please speak for yourself. This sign welcomed bikers and apparently it spoke for all of us (us being those who work at Walton Arts Center). Oh, okay, I’m a curmudgeon. Bikes Blues and BBQ isn’t all that bad. It’s great for people watching, for ear drum busting roars of the motorcycles as they […]
