July 2, 2008 - Wow what a beautiful long weekend we had here...........Sunny, hot, we even got some yard work done. I've been working on a display for a customer - I'd love to have something put together for this weekend. Abbotsford hosts the Berry Festival, and the Abbotsford Farm and Country Market takes part. We will all be there this Saturday from 9:00 - 3:00 (extended hours for the Berry Festival). Hope to see you there. I'll try to get some photos for those of you who can't get here.
June 25, 2008 - Been busy working and trying get some more orders made up and shipped off. I got another wonderful letter from a customer and wanted to share it with you....I love getting letters like this.
"Hi Karen, Thank you *so* much for my first cobalt blue glass ring that
I got from you in February...it is still on my thumb most of the time.
Thank you for my first and second order of glass rings. I have lost
count...30? They are so cool and several of them are now mine too. :-)
I can hardly wait to get my latest order. I think you are *very*
talented and I feel pretty lucky to have found you. Glad to hear that
you can probably get your amazing daughter to make me one of the
beautiful wire chains to match my clear and white jellyfish necklace. I
always look forward to the mail...but more when I'm waiting for a parcel
from you. Thanks again, Laurie"
June 19, 2008 - Here is a happy customer letter I just got and had to share it...............So nice to have this support and kind words. Thanks Angie
"Hi Karen - I finally got the name tags yesterday!! I have been patiently waiting, checking the mail
everyday for over a week now. I LOVE them!! You did a fantastic job. Thank you so
much. I will send you pictures later of some of the bags with the logo on them!
The needle hole sizes are perfect. I am glad that I was diligent about searching the
internet to find someone to make these for me and found you!
Have a great summer. Hope you are selling lots of items at your shows. If all goes well here,
I should have another order for you in 3-4 months.
Absolutely! You can use my letter on your website. We are busy today
attaching the tags to the bags that we already have made. It really adds a touch
of class to the bags." Angie

May 23, 2008 - Looking forward to a wonderful Market Sat. morn. I'll be set up 9:00 - 1:00am and then home to finish work on orders... I've got some really good ideas in my mind that have to get out...Next week I have to work all week and I'm sure working on beads will fall a sorry second to my J.O.B. I'm working on some new designs for bead huggers and findings so hopefully I can get the mold made this weekend.
May 19, 2008 - We've had the most perfect long weekend. Beautiful weather not crazy busy just a nice time and can you believe the size of the tulip in my yard. The Market on Saturday was awesome - pancake breakfast lots of people and great weather. I got some more work done on my site and at the torch. I've uploaded some new glass rings - be sure to check them out. I'm trying to get enough made to make a great display for the market. I still have a couple special orders to get made and sent out - so I've got my work cut out for me this week.

May 9, 2008 - I finally got my glass orders all caught up - now I have one big pewter order to get together...I've been working on the idea of an Etsy Team. Not sure how that will come together just yet . I have a couple new rings listed on Etsy. I really like them and found them really strong.
May 5, 2008 - Wow it's been a long week for me...I started a new J.O.B. Its hard work and all outside (I like that) OMG my body is crying and yelling at me....I have been working on a few orders. I still have about 6 rings to get finished. I have tomorrow to work in my studio and hope I can still move. It's such a beautiful night I think I'm going to go outside and BBQ.
April 27, 2008 - The market yesterday was great the weather was awesome a balmy +19C. A few new vendors and lots of friends I haven't seen in a while. I haven't set up at the market for months now and it really helped me see the things I need to get working on.
April 24, 2008 - I've been working on a glass ring order and have still 5 rings to make. This order has some limits and they are more natural colors....WOW I didn't think it would be that big of a challenge. Turns out I'm way more into lots of color that I thought. Between that and getting my new site up and running properly I've had a very busy couple days.
I'm setting up my booth at the Abbotsford Farm and Country Market Saturday morning 10:00am - 2:00pm. If your in the area come down and introduce yourself. I'd love to meet you.
April 23, 2008 - Last day for the driving instructor job. Now I get to spend my time working for me...YAHOO. Been working on getting this new site up and running with cart and guest book.
April 22, 2008 - I've been working all day trying to make my website better. It's going pretty good and hope that I can get stuff organized and working soon.
I still have a couple days left of lessons and then the J.O.B. is gone and I'm on the hunt for something new...........
April 20, 2008 - Sunday Family BBQ I ate way to much...must stop that.
