Glad That’s Over

I  just had the longest visit from that one person who I cringe every time she comes to my door,.

it was Starta Lotta my evil twin…

 She is the crazy one, the one that carries on like a maniac, starting all kinds of projects,

(that I am left to finish…)

She’s full of great ideas that I am easily sucked into, because it SOUNDS reasonable.

Starta never completed anything,  just Started A Lot of them!

Her recent visit was a jewelry making whirlwind.

Just a few of the necklaces she half finished….

Now that she’s gone.

I’m getting them ready to go.

I need to get all my unfinished projects finished, because tomorrow I am taking the first load to Monticello for the

Spring Garden Show

The show starts, Friday, April 8th at 8:00am.

This show will be  going until May 30th, so I can pace myself a bit, I will be restocking often.

This is already in the truck ready to go.

Aprons  were another thing Starta Lotta left for me, the good twin to finish…

  3. Beautiful Jewelry! I love your "Joyous" pendant. Wishing you much success at the Spring Show. You'll have to lock Starta Lotta in the closet this week, so you can get all your stuff done :).

    Blessings!

  8. Hi Sweetie,
    I love your new necklaces, you always make amazing things. I am thinking Sarah would love one of your new creations : ) I am not sure I am going to make it to Monticellos but I know I will be seeing you at Art Camp and I can't wait to see that beautiful smile of yours. Oh, I also will be going to Salem in June for a fastpitch tournament with Sarah. Is that close to you?
    Big hugs,
    Kathy

  12. Well at least she is as talented as you! Beautiful pieces, one and all! I know actors say 'break a leg' for good luck...do crafty artists say 'break a fingernail'? Regardless...Best of luck to you on the show.
