My first Smarty Pig goal was met this month. A $250 gift card for Lowes is on it's way to buy a new storm door. My next goal is a new TV; that goal will be met in December 2009. I'm ready to save all the money myself and reach my goal without using credit. And, Smarty Pig pays interest too. Not much, but it's an incentive.

On The Go Bag #2
Bag #2 is in my favorite color combination: black and red. I love the way they play off each other to create a bold statement. Are you a fan of red and black also?
On The Go Bag #1
First in a new series of shoulder bags that fit on the shoulder or across the body. This one features a very cool aqua batik cotton with two zippered pockets and one plain pocket.
What would you use this bag for?

Souly Stones
I love jewelry that's not like everyone elses. And that's where Angela comes in. She produces pieces that are beautiful and classy. And, I want them. All of them. :) Click the title of this entry to go to Angela's website. And, if you have a blank space in your abode for fine photography, check out her husband's shop at www.ScooyouPhotography.etsy.com

Free Websites
Have you ever heard of Weebly? It's a very simple web hosting service that allows you to create your own site for free. So, even if you have another big and beautiful website, adding another opportunity to get your name and inventory out there is not a bad thing. Weebly is fast and easy. Try it. Click the title of this entry to see my Weebly site. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Breathing Space
Work has been intense for at least three months now. In the past six weeks, I've been working more than 50 hours per week plus unpaid time on weekends (salary not hourly). That will continue into September, then hopefully decrease back to 40. It's exhausting. There's no 'energy' for anything but work. I almost wrote 'time', but you know that's not really true. It's just a reflex action because we all say that. I really do have time: minutes, hours, days. But, I'm so burned out on working hard, that I don't have the energy to begin anything. A couple weeks ago, I decided to 'try' to get a sewing project going. I cut out all the pieces for ten bags and did some preliminary sewing to set them up for final construction. Last night, I found out I may have cut them wrong. If I did, what a waste of time, fabric and frippery. So, even though I made the time to work, I may not have had enough energy to properly think. That's the issue.

Beer-B-Que - Sunday, May 18th 2008
Today was the Etsy Dallas Beer-B-Que at Larry Kessler's (Kessler Craftsman) in Dallas. After seeing blurbs in The Quick as well as the Dallas Guide, tons of people came out for free food and drink. It was a huge success.
This was my second craft show and I was much more prepared this time! Sales were steady and the people were all incredibly nice. I spoke to people who came from as far away as the opposite side of Fort Worth; specifically to attend the BBQ.
It was a great effort by the Etsy Dallas Leadership team and an excellent place to have an arts and craft show. I understand there were comments made that it felt like the Arts vibe of Austin, which is a huge compliment!

New Potholders
Very nice 100% cotton plaid with cotton batting inside plus a couple layers of denim to provide more protection.
