What a nice lazy weekend






I have been working so hard trying to get my business off the ground that I decided to take a weekend off. I haven't done that in so long. I seem to think that if I work for myself I have to work 24/7 or I'm slacking off.
In the past few weeks I have been a vendor at a car show. Went another car Show and handed out business cards,and told every cashier where I buy my supplies what I do. I have given them cars also after being asked for one.
I'm not really sure how all this blogging,twitting,face booking and such work. It seems to me like it is a lot of work and time taken away from designing and creating......Maybe some day I will have it down.
In my Artfire store I have joined the Rockabilly guild!! I was invited when one of the founders saw my stuff. I am very honored to belong to such an awesome guild. Rock-0A-Billy is a great life style and the clothes and music are fantastic!
The pictures in this post are of some shirts I did for the Rose City Roundup Car Show here in Portland Oregon in June.
If anyone reading this knows how I can get more followers please help a friend out!Also I need help making my blog look way cool!!!!

So this is blogging?


I have read blogs since they started years ago but I never thought I would become"a blogger"
I have two web based stores one on etsy and one on artfire( address to follow later).
Everything I read tells me that blogging is a great way to get your business out there and seen.
So I ask that you bear with me and if you have any suggestions to help me figure out what I am doing here feel free to comment!

So with that all said let me tell you a little( ok a lot) about myself and what I do.
First of all I am a Mother to 2 grown kids. My Daughter is going to be 31 and is a Nurse.She has three of the best kids in the world who call me "Grammy".
My Son is 29 and lives with my 3rd husband and I. He is a welder by trade but cant find a permanent job. He is also a Tattoo Artist and does amazing work. His style is traditional reminiscent of Sailor Jerry.
My Husband is a welder and makes ocean going barges for a large company here in Portland Oregon. He is my 3rd and last husband. Girls 3rd time is a charm. We were together 10 yrs before we finally got married( it was him not me that wasnt sure LOL)
I have 3 step kids who now that they are adults are wonderful( all you step moms know what I mean) They are 24,22,20 yrs old. The 22 yr old is married and has 2 great kids. The 24 yrold is a girl and she is getting married April 4th of this year. Her Honeymoon will be spent with her new husband in the sandy Iraq Desert! They are being deployed in May. They will get to stay together as they are in the same company in the Army Reserves.
As far as my business is concerned I make hand painted clothing using new and recycled clothing.I also design and paint circle skirts with scenes on them. I have started cutting vinyl for walls,decorating lamp shades and such. I can also make banners for your booth at craft fairs and such. I just finished an order for http://evilmommy.artfie.com. Check it out on my site

Well I guess that will be all for now. This was easier then I thought! Thanks
