Also we are schedualed to be in Chicago oct.25 & 26 for a resin bracelet class, But the class is not full enough and if we dont get a few more sign ups we will have to canceal the class.I so hate to do that but with gas prices and the economy the way they are..........Its a long way to Chicago.I love Chicago and will be very sad if I dont get to go......The class is at Briolette Beads and I hear its a lovely store so come check it out!

Far to long.......

Okay so the story of my life...........I just cant blog every day! It's just to much stress on myself so I'll just go with the flow and see where it takes me and how often I get here.

So we are on our way to Detroit,MI this weekend. I'll be teaching a Bronze metal clay class on Friday and a Keum-Boo with PMC earrings on Saturday.On Sunday we will be at the Great Lakes Beadworker Guild show. Come out and see us if your in the area, we have lots of new things to see.

These are a few things we will be doing in the classes.

I'm having such fun with the new Bronze clay! Here are some earrings and my first chain bracelet with one PMC piece in it. Then there are also a few earrings with the keum-boo.

This past weekend our little town had there Harvest Day Festival.We worked hard and got the store front of our beloved building ready to open the doors and invite the public in.We had so much fun and so many of our neighbors came by to say hello and welcome us to the town.

This is right out side our front door.......

And heres Tony and Ashleigh relaxing before we open the doors.

I'll be in Chicago Oct. 25th & 26th teaching at Briolette Bead store and would love to see you there if your in the area. We have a few spaces left so come and join us. I'll be teaching the Resin Bracelet class.

I will also be teaching this class in Charleston,SC Nov. 15th & 16th at The Beaded Venus.

We are in the process of planning our first Studio Workshop here in Inman,SC. It will be on Dec.6th and we will be working with PMC to make x-mass gifts.If you would like to register please email me @ zoaart@yahoo.com. I'll have more info on this class next week.

Until then.........

"I Want To Wear Boot's"

yes i want to wear boots...it's been a long...hot...dry...summer...and i know there is more to come...yet yesterday we recived some loooooong needed rain...and this morning it is kind-of cool and still misting rain...soooooo it was a good morning to put on my fav boots...


go out on the landing and have a hot cup of coffee...there's something bout a good pair of boots...and these are the best...and as soon as i went out this morning...felt the cool...damp...air...well lets just say...my boots were calling me...tucked away in the dark...lonely... regions of the closet...wanting me to wipe away the dust they had collected over the summer...wear them out into the rain...step into a few puddles...kick a rock are 2...just get them warmed up for the cooler weather that we hope is not to far away...these are good boots...



soooooo...we went out for a walk...and took the camera with us for a few shots of our alley and things that were wet from the rain...so i'll share some of them...this is an old busted tv in the parking lot behind our place...

kind of cool that the rock that busted the screen is still laying inside...it also makes me wonder as to how much more work i'd get done and how much more creative i'd be if i did this with my own tv's...this photo makes me think...

oh by the way lisa and her bare feet joined me and my boots for coffee also...i had failed to tell her there was a "boot requirement"...we let her us join us anyway cause she has that cute thing going for her...well this will be my parting shot...with coffee in hand and boot's on feet i go inside to finish my coffee...blog...read a few pages...and go to work.........i think i'll wear my boots all day...
