Gorgeous spring weather has come to the Central Valley, so we decided to celebrate it with a picnic with friends. We met up at Hidden Valley park, which has rolling hills of grass, a duck pond, and playgrounds. Anneliese got to wear her new sun hat, and I got to break in my awesome waterproof-backed… Continue Reading

Threefoot Arts Festival – Spring 2009
At the Threefoot Arts Festival in November 2008, I discovered some great artists, including Charles Crossley, Robert Holleman, and Windham’s Woodworks who all returned for the Spring show this April. But this time there were a couple new artists worth mentioning! First of all… gorgeous day, good crowd, and lots of booths. There was a… Continue Reading
Merry Meridian Market – Meridian, MS 2008
I’m not feeling very generous, so the subtitle of this post is “OR How to Freeze your Butt off at the Crappiest Show Ever.” I’m sorry, but… yeah. I was all excited even though I wasn’t feeling so hot, because this show was advertised much more than the other shows I’ve done here were… plus,… Continue Reading
Craft Show tomorrow – Merry Meridian
I was going to write you a nice post about chocolate chip pancakes tonight, but I seem to have come down with a cold of some sort, so I’ll be going to bed soon. Unfortunately, tomorrow I can’t spend the day sipping soup and reading in bed… I have a craft show. Merry Meridian Market… Continue Reading
Joyful Abode Open House
I’ve got to say… after a couple mostly disappointing craft shows, my open house was insanely refreshing! As much as I prepped and set up for this, it was much less stressful than a show… I didn’t have to pack my things into boxes and shove them in the car at 6 in the morning… Continue Reading
Made in the South Christmas Bazaar – Meridian, MS 2008
My computer problem isn’t fixed, but we’ve figured out a temporary solution (I’m plugged into the modem… how sad for a laptop to be tied down like this!). So you get a real update now! This was my booth at the Made in the South Christmas Bazaar yesterday. Looks pretty good, right? I’m not going… Continue Reading
No internet…
My computer isn’t connecting to our internet connection for some reason (but it’s connecting to our local network. Go figure). So I will try to figure it out/ fix it tomorrow, and post photos from today’s show. Posting this from the Guy’s computer. And also, everyone should know that he’s fantastic when it comes to… Continue Reading

Meridian MS MOPs Christmas Stop
Today was the MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers) Christmas Stop. We woke up at 6, loaded up the car, took care of the dog, and got on the road to set up. Setting up took a little longer than usual because we weren’t sure where to put the gridwall and the things on it… now I… Continue Reading
Craft Show Checklist – What to bring to your show
I guess this should really be called “Craft Show Checklist – What I bring to my shows” I can’t tell you what to bring… we all have different needs and sell different things in different parts of the country and the world. So while sunscreen and bug spray might be necessities for an outdoor show… Continue Reading
Threefoot Arts Festival in Meridian, MS (2008)
October 11th was the Threefoot Arts Festival downtown, so I scooted into town with my husband, armed with a bit of cash and an excited spirit. I love art shows… going to them, being in them, shopping at them. I don’t love $1 stretchy bracelets, bags of M&Ms labeled “grumpy pills”, and kitschy polymer clay… Continue Reading
What I’m doing today – Stationery Sets!
I’m packaging up all of my new note card sets. The holiday ones have white envelopes, and the Bright Organics have orange, green, and blue envelopes. They’re all packaged in clear boxes, ready for display. I have to put little stickers on the boxes, but that’s about it now! Some will be going to MAUstudio… Continue Reading
