Framed

Framed art for the May 4th show at Casa Larga. I have more frames to fill as I continue to make more pieces. I'm making cards too.
It's all good.

Framed art for the May 4th show at Casa Larga. I have more frames to fill as I continue to make more pieces. I'm making cards too.One day I'm all, "I'll never have enough stuff, my booth will look pathetic, why am I thinking that I can do this?"
Another day I'm all, "Oh my God, I love this stuff! I'm going to sell out in the first hour and be a millionaire!"
Obviously, the truth is most likely somewhere in the middle.
I'm really, really looking forward to going to Tampa with Steve on Thursday but the timing is not what I would have picked, had I known about the May 4th show when we booked our reservations. I'm feeling very stressed - between the day job and Pine Tree Designs, I sort of don't know which way to turn first.
I'm having lunch with friends today (hi Nantz!) so I'm going to get a few things ready to take with me to work on there because we always gab for a few hours. Maybe I'll just relax and forget about all this for a few hours.
Simon arrived home from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, this morning around 5:00 am. I went to bed around 10:00, expecting he'd be home around midnight or 1:00 by the time he took everyone home. So when I woke at 4:45 and he wasn't home, I was a little nervous. I text messaged him, "You okay?" He called me and said he was in Fairport, had one more kid to drop off and would be home within half an hour.
He actually smiled when he walked in a saw me! Yes! My teenager smiled at me!!
He drove almost all the way himself (they had left at 9:00 AM!) because the other kids were too tired. He listed for me all the types of caffeine in his system. He wasn't ready to go to sleep right away, of course, so we talked for a while. I went back to bed and he started doing laundry. He crashed shortly thereafter it seems; he's probably going to be comatose for most of the day. He'll be plenty cranky tomorrow, having to go back to school. It's tough ending a vacation. I'll probably be singing those same blues the week after, when we return from Florida. We return Monday and we're both taking Tuesday off. That was just supposed to be a "transitional" day - but now it will be a scramble to get-ready-for-the-craft-show-two-days-later-day.

The framed art is really beautiful. I wish you much success at the craft show! Welcome home, Simon!
Wow! You've been busy! Best of luck at the show.
We have our fingers crossed for you Milady.
Have fun in Tampa, and be sure to go to the Columbia in Ybor City while there.
You'll do just great! Do what you can this week, then go off and relax. You really are more than prepared already, you just don't know it. Figure it as a learning experience, and just go to learn so you can improve for next time, but try not to make this so 'big' that it stresses you out (or keeps you up working all night like I do). There will be more craft shows for you to 'perfect' your gig.
Oh, it's so much easier to give others advice than to take it for oneself :-).
Beautiful work!
You'll be so relaxed on your vacation that your creative energy will get you in overdrive when you return. So, don't worry, be happy and enjoy yourself! Don't forget the sunglasses and sunscreen!
Hello Stefani,
I Like the creativity in your works
