Thanks and giving

we went to spend Thanksgiving with Garys mother Juanita-who is in her 80's at a local retirement home.. omg what a miserable meal--- Bonaventure  in Reno - the food was absolutely terrible, it made me very sad. My 15 year-old son Cody came and was a perfect gentlemen and we had a good time just being with her. Now at home we are making our dinner for tomorrow- i love to cook, everything is from scratch , turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad, homeade bluberry pie and codys making banana creme pie, also homeade ice cream. YUM!  I SO wish i would have known, i would have made the dinner on thursday at home and taken her a nice meal.

next project is to make as much stuff as possible for the Western Christmas show at Openshaws Saddlery in Fallon.Dec. 2 and 3rd- necklaces of kingman turquoise, rhodochrosite,golden quartz, multi color/stone/crystals~ gobs of lusciousness. also 3 new purses painted to take- looking forward to this Happy Thanks giving to all.

Today I finally get back to my studio to clean up after working toward my last show- The 2nd Annual Genoa Cowboy Poetry Gathering was a huge personal success. the tickets sales were down 40% and i still doubled my sales-- I dont know why more people didnt come out, it was beautiful weather and the folks running the event did a wonderful job. We had a great time in the Tieg building art gallery, really building the comraderie. I sold 4 purses and quite a few necklaces, still waiting for a serious collector to "Discover" my fine art. riding, Yoga, pastels, the agenda for the week-, oh i guess i better start rebuilding stock in my purses and jewelry as well. Enjoy life folks!
