some of my show pictures

Well I am going to try to post some of my show pictures tonight. We will see how it goes. I loaded them on my lap top while in Pigeon Forge and now must put them on our desk top. I am pretty sure don figured out how to burn a disc of them so here goes.
Some of the first pictures are of our booth. Will take a while and I will just post them as they come.
I must say the weather for the most part was beautiful. Really cold at night until about noon and then the tent warmed up. Only rained one day but I did not go to the booth that day don and Janie did while I laid in bed with a heating pad on my back. I do not know what I did but pulled a muscle in there someway when I bent over to get a bag to put a doll in we sold. Ok now but boy sure did hurt alot for a few days.



Well not saying we were slow or anything but here are Barb and Jane on Sunday afternoon, Few people.. Oh yes in case you didn't know the three of us, Me, Barb and Jane(daughters) did this show together. Few people. Sunday is when most people head for home from Pigeon Forge and Monday is the day most people arrive at Pigeon Forge. We had a lot of tour buses unload outside the tent so that was fun. Really enjoyed meeting all the people and groups that came through. I have a picture someplace I took of a lady from Indiana that found us through my blog. I promise I saw your picture someplace just need to find it.



Now here is a picture of a group of ladies from INDIANA AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH from Lafollette, Tennessee. That is where Barb works and goes to church. They are a wonderful group of ladies and Barb is in the front on the left. Well this is all for tonight I am tired and I am working on my ornaments for my ornament swap with my CPLG group on ebay.

A FALL WALK `

Here it is another busy day trying to get ready. But I did take a few minutes and took a walk around the yard to enjoy the fall colors.
This is a picture of the side of the house

Well enough of the mums(my favorite flower) Now I will show you MORE pictures of our items for the PIGEON FORGE CRAFT SHOW IN THE BIG TENT. WE WILL BE SETTING UP ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT. TO FIND US JUST TURN AT TRAFFIC LIGHT NUMBER 7 TOWARDS THE OLD MILL IN PIGEON FORGE TENNESSEE. WE WILL BE THERE FROM OCTOBER 18-24. THE HOURS ARE 10AM UNTIL 6PM.
So we were talking today and we decided to create a gingerbread girl and boy. so here they are in the beginning stages. I will post a picture of them finished later
and just look at all these wire hair angels we have finished lined up waiting their turn to be loaded in the van
Finished the last five snowmen today and since I do not remember how I finished the first load I just did my thing. wonder why I just didn't look?? because they are in tennessee at Janes house.
I just had to post pictures of the last two dolls I did yesterday and today. They really make me smile.


And last but not least tonight just gotta show you what a mess my studio is right now. I did two snowman wreaths and a scarecrow wreath tonight and that is them laying around waiting for me earlier today.

Still getting ready for the BIG day

well we went on vacation to Gatlinburg Tennessee and while we were there they were setting up the tent for the craft show in PIGEON FORGE TENNESSEE IN PATRIOT PARK AT TRAFFIC LIGHT NUMBER 7, ON OCTOBER 18-24(that is the date we will be set up) It goes the whole month long. Here is the front where you go into the tent and well you can pose and take your picture there too. And here is the tent where people(crafters) are setting their booths up


Here is my lovely daughter,Janie,working late at night on some of her crafts getting ready for the show we are doing. We are at her home her in Sevierville, out in the middle of nowhere.

Now we are going for a look out front of my house of some of my fall decorations. It is so hard to believe it is this late in the year already. first picture is of our scarecrows and the second is of our Ole crows around the flag pole. I have taken some pictures of my front porch too with all the mums in bloom. Mums are my most favorite flowers.


Well I am working on two snowmen for my show. They are a pattern of Sweetmeadows farm. I was out in my studio painting on eyes and thought they looked just like two aliens sitting there on my painting table. I will post some pictures of them after they are finished. But for now this is how they look.
Also took a picture of all my "girls" sitting there on the shelf staring at me while I paint.


Here is a picture of a snowman I have finished and sold that is what the "aliens" will look like when they are finished.
