I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas

It's been snowing for days and I'm love'n it. I don't have to drive anywhere now that the shows are over. Derek has been blowing the snow from the driveway and a path to the bird feeders so we can keep those chirpy little birds feed. Bossy bluejays get their feed first and then the chickadees. We have a pair of cardinals and several small woodpeckers rounding out the avian spectrum.



In two days I've been to 3 fabric stores and Romni Wools. I'll be working on a few Christmas presents but mostly I'll be working on a new spring line. Keep watching. I will be writing every Sunday and Wednesday nights and maybe a few more if I can.

Last Show Before Christmas

Holidandy was the name of the show at Alana's Awkward Stage Gallery. Thanks to everyone that came out. I hope next year more people decide to shop local and I don't mean your local Costco. With a little investigation you will find a lot of great handmade gift items in your own community.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

The snow came and it has stayed. This year we have more snow by early December then we got all last winter. Lets hope that the weather is getting people into the Christmas spirit. Get out there and shop. Preferably locally and from your favourite artist.
Hey..... I can hope.



The bird feeders needed a little work this morning before the little chirpers could enjoy breakfast. But of coarse the squeaky wheel always gets breakfast first so Tyson beat out the birds and enjoyed his bottle while the chickadees sat and waited.



I have said this many times lately but I will say it again I am really excited about getting back to work. I have ideas for new adornments and drawings. New textures, colours and feelings are going to take me into the new year with a smile on my face.

Back Home

It's Tuesday and I am still trying to get caught up on sleep. We had a wonderful time at the big show. Lots of long time customers along with many new acquaintances. Lori, my weekend help, and I had time to get caught up. We usually spend the whole show together but this year Lori decided to take a break. The art nest was the star of our show with about 400 of them going out the door. Thank you little birdies for all of your colourful nests.Ruby Diego (me) sold one of the sterling silver big chain necklaces. Yeah for Ruby! I am really excited to get back to work and...... set up my expanded studio in the attic. The couch and TV will be moving into our bedroom to make room for a large work table in my studio. Now I will be able to get my fabric cutting off the floor and spread it out on a surface where my back won't hurt.

Stay tuned for the new dresses and other fabric pieces......

Someone was happy to see me home!
