Well, it has been an amazing month so far.
My husband and I have actually created a real workspace for me in one corner of our kitchen, in the hope that I will no longer take over the entire kitchen and living room with my crafting. Here is a picture.
It has really helped a lot to keep the house cleaner.
We also cleaned out the garage and created a real plaster working area, as well as getting my cool spray paint booth that my husband built vented to the outside of the house.
Lat weekend I also did my first craft show with three of my favorite friends. We went down to Driftwood, and exhibited in La Ventana. The drive was really lovely, and it was a beautiful day, however the craft show itself was a bust. We sold very little because I think it was just the wrong audience for our stuff. Our display looked wonderful though. Here are some pictures.
And these adorable pillows were from my friend Cherie. I felt like my set up was pretty bland in comparison, but oh well.
The really good thing about doing the craft show was that I was finally able to put together some of the jewelry ideas that had been percolating in my head. It is mostly just earrings right now, but I am slowly adding other types of jewelry. I'm putting them up for sale on Etsy, one or two every day. I did sell a couple of pairs at the craft show, and several to the ladies in my Bible study.
I also was able to finish a mask for my friend Betsy for the big Austin Shakespeare Luminalia last weekend. It is a little more girly than my other masks, but it was fun to use lace for the first time. Sorry, the pictures are not the best quality.

So I am currently looking at 2 more craft shows, a bunch of Christmas performing, and trying to promote myself on Etsy. Lots of fantastic things happening.
More soon.
