Color Palette: Tea, Barn Red, Cream

Can you see us? A lovely designer on Maui where I currently advertise chose this collection for Etsy You can check out Rachel Follett's blog, Lovely Clusters.   She is clearly a talented, or shall I say, Multi Talented lady!



Such a joy to work with such talented designers, and just generally good taste folks!

What are your plans today?

My little "babies" are 4 days old today, and  are getting their tails docked and dew claws removed at the Vet's office here on Lake Conroe. Annie is beside herself wondering where Joe took them....I get to pick them up in an hour or so... they are SO CUTE!

I have already drank two cups of coffee and checked my garden and used the pump up sprayer to apply a great organic vitamin and mineral emulsion......more on that later!

I hope you have a great weekend!  Yesterday it reached 102 degreees Fahrenheit here in Houston.  I wonder what our summer is going to be like.....yikes!

Adios!

Cleaning Up My Act

Cleaning Up My Act.....A Work In Progress

Confessions of a messy worker, a messy housewife, a messy co-worker, and a messy manufacturer/artisan.

I successfully updated my growing fragrance listing, and put all my summer fragrances to sleep for the winter :(. It always ALWAYS makes me nervous to put things away; my dear mother and I share the same malady: it is called the fear of ......Outta Sight Out of Mind.

Somehow deep inside, I fear that if I put something away I will in fact forget that it exists.

Experience does bear this out as well.

The truth is, a messy workspace can and does hinder creativity. So why have I been in a funk, you ask? Is it merely slow sales? I think not. Things have to be straight and neat before creativity can really flow.

So I have been taking time to straighten. Planning for the busy holidays is underway and inventory must be taken for supplies to be ordered, projects to be created, etc etc.

But first things first.

This is boring, but freeing!

On another note, I am undertaking a new networking mission. Cassia's Kitchen will be interviewing local and some not so local friends! I am very very excited about this and believe it may be vital for exposure to some of us!

If you have a) a business b) a ministry, c) a band, d) a book, or e) a cause, I would like to interview you! Yes, you!

Please comment on my blog and ask me to send you an already written series of questions. Be prepared to send me graphics of your logo, your banner, any product graphics and weblinks you want listed on this blog! Depending upon your responses, I may elect to have a Park 1 and a Part 2 so you would then receive double exposure!

Then together, we will choose a day to post this interview! If you are selling product, you may give me codes to any discounts or specials you want to air on this day! Then together we will give this event exposure by Tweeting, facebooking, MySpacing, Emailing or even UTubing this event!

Cool?
I say, CCCCCOOOOOLLLL!
Let's Do It!

Love and Hugs!

well I did it

i finally did it. went public, that is. have thought about it, intended it. now it's done. hate to admit it but there is something so vulnerable about going public.

this morning i made a quick flyer and invited about 50 people to my house next Friday. There was a resistance in me to do it. A mixture of feelings; I'm not ready yet. Maybe they will think I'm stupid. Or not good enough. Or don't have enough to offer.

But i did it and now it is done. no going backwards. only forwards. I care what people think. And God knows this experience will only help me grow.

i just wanted to share that. does anybody else ever feel that way?

ok, my kitchen is clean except last night's thanksgiving feast dishes are in the sink. i must tend to this before Murphy's Law works it's deep magic and chaos once again rears it's ugly head.
