hi there...

So it turns out I can't get my phone to blog, must be an at&t thing, darn cause I really liked Ruth's idea.

Many things afoot here at Casa Amarillo. the kids finished school so we are on summer break. Lots of plans to bike and swim and basically hang out, kickin' it old school.

I have decided to make pirate costumes for everyone this year. Talk Like Pirate Day falls on a Saturday this year which coincides with our Renassiance Festival so I am encouraing everyone I know to come out in garb (plus, I really just like dressing in costume)

I will be heading to ArtFiberFest in 17 days and I am stoked. It's in Portland OR this year, which is somewhere I have wanted to travel for awhile. I am taking all handwork classes and not vending, I am looking forward to relaxing and recharging!

And so the page is not so plain, here's a ttvf image from last fall I shot in Las Vegas...

Spring cleaning...

Just tidying up the place a bit. I miss blogging a little , mostly I have been spending my time on Facebook, I am going to try and work on that.
Ruth Rae did a great guest piece over on Bluhm Studios on instanting blogging and I think I will give it a try. I have reloaded the info to my phone for blogging so I will try something random every day.
I will be in Veags at the end of the week catching up on some R & R, perhaps you will get silly posts from there. Be well .

testing...

is this thing on? I've been aay for quite some time. Life has been a whirlwind lately and I have the attention of a gnat. I hope to start post a wee bit more as I try to create a bit of a "work" schedule for myself, we will see how long that lasts.

In the meantime here are some fun Through The View Finder pictures I have taken...

The results are in...

Pins are on the way. They were mailed out Saturday.

Go take a look and then report back here as to which one you received.

Beaded Face Pin Swap

Every year...

Every year I do this face pin swap, and every year I spend too much time looking for the damn pin backs! I can never find them so I buy more AND then I find the missing ones. I will buy no more pin backs!!!

Pieces are starting to come in and they look awesome. Pins are due Friday (Saturday at the latest.)

It's Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!!!!
