I haven’t blogged either

I was just over reading my friend Jan's blog. She is quite remorseful because she hasn’t posted in a while. So am I. Not because she hasn’t posted but because I have not blogged in ages. Of course, I miss reading Jan’s post’s because she is so goshdarn funny. But, as for me, I just wanted to tell my peeps not to give up on me. I just have nothing much to say.

Been busy working on jewelry for some upcoming shows ( sorry, no pics just yet.) And I really need to bring some pieces over to Damselfly Gallery. So, soon as I can I’ll put up pics for y’all and you can let me know what you think of my new designs. All is good here.

Big news. Paige is growing her bangs out. She looks older this way I think. They grow up so fast.

A month, it’s been a month????

I can’t believe a month has past. What a slacker I am.  It isn’t as though I’ve been terribly busy~~~~~which probably explains why I haven’t been posting. Hubby’s part time job has been cut back to about 2 days a week. I’m sure it will only be a temporary thing. But, when he’s home I tend to hang with him pretty much and read or watch  television or just talk. Lately, we’ve had a good bit of snow~~~not like out east but a lot for Kentucky. Here, it’ll snow and then melt after a couple of days. Not so this time.

Here’s the view from our back door. It’s pretty but I’m tired of it. Hurry up spring.

Paige is on a basketball team so I’ve been going to her games. That’s been fun. I’ve never been into sports but when my granddaughter  is playing it’s exciting for me.

Here’s a blurry  action shot of her playing. She’s the one in blue.

In this one she’s wearing an orange jersey. This one I get a kick out of. Everyone else is standing around  and if you look at her feet she’s airborne.  That’s our Paige for sure.  Always bouncing when she walks.                                                                         

So, my blogger friends, that’s what I have been up to. What do you do when you’re stuck inside?

Lovin’ The Fall

This is, without a doubt, my favorite time of year. Cool, crisp mornings. Beautiful days, not too hot.

I’ve been working on some jewelry but don’t have pictures yet. I hope to get some in the next couple of days.

Paige was here yesterday and wanted to experiment making dyes from plants. Since I have no idea of the proper way to do that I just let her have a go at it.

She came up with some interesting colors.  It turned out to be a fun project for her.

A show and a play

I did a craft show at the Shelby county High School over the week-end. It was their first one and unfortunately not very well attended. There were so many talented artists and artisans exhibiting too. Here’s how I set up my space.

This Saturday and Sunday I’ll be set up at the Midway Fall Festival in the lovely town of Midway. It’s the first year for me~~~~wish me luck.

Last night we went to see our favorite thespian, Paige, in the production of “Suessical the Musical”. Of course, she was magnificent.

Here she is outside on the way to the theater before the performance.

This is after the show with her friend~ The Cat in the Hat.

Grandpa and I enjoyed the show very much. It was funny, lively and just good entertainment.

Kudos to Shelby County Community theater for the many fine productions that they put on through out the year.

Bell House

Paige and I usually go out to lunch when she comes over. One of our favorites is Bell House. It’s located right here in Shelbyville. The house where it’s located was built in 1902, and has been lovingly restored by the owners Bob and Sue Andriot. It’s a beautiful addition to the heart of the town where we live. The food is fresh and wonderful. They are open for lunch and in the Fall they plan on being open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights.

Here is a peek inside. It’s great to have a local restaurant with such a lovely ambiance.

Our hosts Bob and Sue Andriot

Here is a look at what we had. Yummy , Aunt Emma’s Chicken Salad with fresh fruit and a warm bread stick and the best potato soup I’ve ever had and ,of course, a mouth watering brownie with ice cream,chocolate syrup topped with a strawberry.

Would you like a look at the menu?

My new model

I had Paige model these earrings for me. I’m pretty pleased with the way they turned out.

I think she’ll work out.

She’s been working hard with rehearsal’s for  Suessical the Musical, and sitting for me to take pictures of my earrings (not easy, it takes me forever to get it right). Busy girl.

Hope you all have a lovely week-end.

 

Where oh where has my living room gone?

Paige was here on Wednesday and had fun being a clothing designer. She used my mannequin that I display jewelry  with. She’s such a fashionista.

 

She’s my great pal and we always have fun together. We have a lot in common. We both love going to the antique shops in town, having lunch at McKinley’s, also in town. And, Barnes and Noble is another hangout for us. Half-Price books gets our business too.

But just hanging out to be together may be my favorite thing to do. BTW you’ll be seeing more of her since I’ve decided to use her as my model to get photos of my jewelry.

Now, on to the question of where did my living room go?

Tyler and Grandpa have a new toy. Thomas the Train……

Of course, They can’t put it away when they’re done playing because the track would get messed up. We can’t have that after all the trouble they went through to build it.

Hmmmmm, there’s a truck on the track….What should we do?????  

 

I think for these two boys I could get used to a train in my living room.

A Musical

Good news..... Our sweet as pie granddaughter, Paige, auditioned to be in " Seussical the Musical" , at our community theater, and got a dual roll!!!! Yes folks, not one but two parts to play. We're all so proud of her and she's so excited that she's about to burst. Rehearsals start on Thursday. I'll keep y'all posted on her progress.

Happy Birthday!!

Yesterday was Granddaughter Paige's 10th Birthday. It's hard to believe that this wonderful treasure has been in our family for 10 years. We are one lucky family. She is such a joy to have around.

Happy Birthday, tweenager!!!!!!
