Just finished looking at the newest Country Sampler Magazine..I always get inspired from that! Have been a bit lazy lately with my crafting, catching up on housework and gardening and even doin' a bit a relaxing. That's something I don't get to do often, so I grab it when it come 'round!
I have to admit, my housework took a back seat when we had our storefront open and I am still finding things that I had forgotten about...lol! (That's why there are still totes of Christmas stuff sitting in my living room...at least that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!)

This year we have put in three good sized veggie gardens. I say 'we', but I must confess that my dear hubby does 99% of the upkeep on them. (keeps him out of trouble, I say!) We will definitely be doing some canning and freezing this year; we have tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, corn, summer squash, punkin's, eggplant, okra, all sorts of peppers, hot and not; cucumbers....I can't even remember everything that's been planted! My dill and horseradish and cilantro have gone wild; but the rhubarb wasn't great...
I tried to convince hubby to plant one entire garden for my wildflowers but guess it will take another year to talk him into that. So I must be content with my flowers spread around the yard and will have to go walking, looking for what I need for crafting and arrangements.

oh, yes! back to crafting! The past 3 years we did lots of shows, one almost every weekend.
And, I am happy to say, this year we have scaled back on shows..it's too much to keep up with that many..not enough time to make enough for the next one.. so we are doing a couple of smaller local shows and keeping our best ones, of course. And, so, I must get busy creating!!

Do any of you do craft shows? How did you fair last year and do you think the economy is going to hurt you this year as far as sales? Send me a message on facebook!

Well, gotta get to bed so I can rise and.. well, so I can rise early in the am ( Im not big on shinin'...lol!)
BLESSINGS TO Y'ALL!
