Well after a summer of preparing, the show is finally over. It was great. We had a wonderful time. It was great to see so many customers who come to find me each year. Thank you all for such a great show.
Now we are home and will begin making new items to restock the store.

When I first entered my Pre-K classroom, I could not believe it. It is an old house. It is precious. I knew right away that I could make this so me and have a wonderful time making it all about Pre-K. Right now I am in the process of making 20 child size chef hats. I also made a trip to Lowes to purchase materials for a tee pee. The Teepee will be my reading corner. I promise to show you when I am finished with it. It will hold a glittered chandelier of coarse. It will be the perfect place to relax and read a book. The house even has a porch. I cannot wait to add pumkins to the porch. Now do you see what has been keeping me busy. That does not even include preparing for a show after hours. We are creating so many beautiful items for Tinsel and Treasures. I surely hope you are able to join us. I
When I first entered the Pre=K house, I was told that I did not need a desk because I would not have time to sit. Well you know me. I need my special little (very little) space. Here it is. I had this very old and eaten piece of furniture in the shop at home. I was already told by my absolutely better half that it would be thrown out. It was a stack of wood that was being thrown out to the trash. Well I picked it up from the street and brought it to this wonderful old gentleman in Mamou who loved working on pieces like this. He remade it into a piece of furniture which sat in my studio doing the job for years. Now that I needed a piece for me, I knew that this was the piece. It is not a desk. It is really my computer center. It is where I sit with my class in front of me on the rug and we use the projector and computer as whole group. I know you just have to love it. See the photos below. I wish I had a photo of the piece from the beginning. Thank you chalk paint by Annie Sloane.
The top picture is the finished product.
