Christmas is Coming

It is so hard to believe that it is this close to Christmas.  Time seems to be flying by or is it we are just so busy. 
Busy with jewelry for Southern Market plus Etsy and Artfire.  Lots of monogramming going on at my house also.  Love to be busy better than just setting.

Family portraits made a couple weeks ago.  Such a fun time!!!!  Love those little Grandchildren.

We even got all of my inlaws together.

Fall in East Tennessee

Fall in East TN has to be the most beautiful time of the year.    It is absolutely gorgeous with a full array of colors.  My husband and I took a long ride on Friday, 10/22, which consisted of about 500 miles.  We took in Big Southfork, Rugby, Jamestown and ended up in the Foohills of the Parkway in Cosby, TN.

The colors were absolutely gorgeous.  I loved every minute of being able to go and enjoy the entire day. 

We ended up eating at Carver's in Cosby and oh my it was delicious plus we brought some wonderful apples hom.   YUM  what a great day all the way around.

Have included some gorgeous pictures for you too see.  You can sure see God's handiwork in the pictures.It is as if he has the paintbrush putting the colors on.



Fall Approaching

Our house has been buzzing with the new granddaughter and then wtih the beginning of Football.

So excited to start creating some new Fall jewelry. Love the bright bold colors of fall so much.

Fall jewelry is gorgeous.



Go vols we are true Tennessee fans so our blood runs orange and white.



Happy Fall to Y'All

Lazy Hazy Days of Summer

Proud Grandy & Granna

Katherine Isabella Haun 4/30/2010

This has been one hot, hot summer in TN. It has been in the 90's for days. I have kept myself inside most of the time.

We had a great vacation and yes it was hot there also. We went with our dear friends to Savannah and Tybee Island. Just relaxed, eat out and had fun. It is always good to get away and then you appreciate home so much more.

We also have a new Granddaughter born on April 30, 2010. Her name is Katherine Isabella and her brother Conner is now turning four. Time flies!!!!

It is now time to start thinking about fall items.

I have worked on my web sites today and updated items on each of those.

Tomorrow is the day I go back to Vanderbilt!!!!

TaTaTa for now!!!

Stay Cool

Easter come and Gone

I haven't blogged in so long!!!!
I had a really rough time for awhile with the Lupus.
So I slowed down on everything now it is
time to start back. SPRING has arrived
and I think we all feel better.
Everything looks so pretty outside. It is if everything comes alive.
We are expecting our little granddaughter about May 5 or so.
Conner is now 3 1/2 so he is excited and just full of himself.
This was our family on Easter Sunday which was also my birthday.
So we had lots to celebrate that day. It was such a beautiful day here in East TN.
I have been making lots of bright colored jewelry for spring and summer. Beautiful colors that bring life to you also.
Check out my artfire site also. http://www.artfire.com/users/bgkdesigns
I am also selling on Etsy and still at Southern Market.
Spring means lots of monogramming, jewelry making and yard work.

TaTaTaTa till later

I AM GOING TO BE GRANNA AGAIN---GIRL

We are going to have a little girl somewhere around the middle of
May. We are thrilled to death. Conner will be 4 on August 1.
They told us the sex of the baby on New Year's Day. So we are planning and planning at the present time.
Redo the nursery from boy to girl. Conner moves to a big bed.
A Car's bed wow how fun is that.
Spring will be busy for me I am sure.




This was the picture back in July of 2006------my first grandchild and it was a little boy. Conner which we adore him so much. He was the first boy in our family in 57 years. Spoiled I don't think so at all.

I am Late January is HERE

Great fun with my cousins & daughter during the holidays.
They are my besties!!!!!!!


Wow I got so busy I haven't blogged in so long. I was so busy in December I hardly had time to breathe.
I think I monogrammed for everyone or they bought things from me to be monogrammed.
Jewelry sales at Southern Market were terrific. I was going every week taking more jewelry.
All of that was great and I am thankful for those great months of selling.

Now that January is her I am sure it will be slow. That is okay I need time to rest and relax.
Read some good books and watch some movies.

The good news I am feeling much better thank the good Lord. My med's surely are working.

I have monogramming to do for some people now. That seems to never slow down.
Have a great week.

TaTaTaTaTa Until next time!
