Sledding with the Family

My brother Brian, I like to call him Sgt. Mast(he is a Sgt. in the Army Special Forces), and his wife Bre are visiting for a week from Georgia, so we took advantage of the snow and went sledding at Cascade Township Park. It was a fun time but a little chilly.

My newest collection of bags called the Sohia collection

So I was feeling the need to design something new last week. Every once in a while I get some free time and twirl around new ideas in my head, well here is what I came up with. I think it is fun and colorful. I will soon be listing it on my website. I do have one on my etsy site if you want to see some additional pictures. Let me know what you think of the new design.

Bad blogger returns with the events of the summer!

As some of you might know I have been the worst blogger this summer. My excuse, I have been busy sewing, which is a good thing. With the summer lineup of show I have done and am still doing it has just been kaotic staying caught up. So Here are some pictures to show what my family and I have done over the summer other than me sewing.

To start out the summer we headed to Tennessee, the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area to see Nana. We had lots of fun! It is amazing to see the beauty in the mountains that God created!

The kids enjoyed Trout fishing.

We went to the aquarium, I always love to see the jellyfish, they are so amazing!

We stopped and saw the Duke's of Hazzard Car, the General Lee

We climbed all the way to the top of Clingman's dome, one of the highest points of the Smokey Mountains.

Tyler found time to catch a Comelian.

We spent some time out at Holland State Park.

Tyler celebrated his 7th birthday on July 2

We made 2 trips to Traverse City with the family it was nice having them there while I participated in the Art and Craft shows. One of the trips was during Cherry festival, while I worked at my booth they enjoyed the air show, concessions, and the beach.

There were times during the Cherry festival when our booth was so full of shoppers that you could not move.

By the end of th day, Brayden crashed on Bryan he was so tired

Some other fun pictures from home

I will be at the Cherry Fstival in Traverse city this coming Sunday for their Art Show, so if you don't have anything going come and check it out. The Art Show goes from 10am - 7pm if you need additional information on the festival click the cherries.

AWARD WINNING BOOTH AT TULIP TIME FESTIVAL

This past weekend I was at the Tulip Time Festival Art and Craft show in Holland Michigan selling my bags along with Karin from K Bella Bambino Designs and we received an award for the best booth. This was quite an accomplishment for us both since there were over 200 booths present at the festival. It is almost the 1 year aniversary for Karin and I to be working side by side in our booth so to receive this award was fun and exciting. We have been through quiet a few different setups to try and make our booth perfect, maybe we finally accomplished that.

My Family also got a chance to come and see me and the beautiful Tulips. Don't forget to catch up with us at our next show at Ada Arts in Ada Michigan.
