As we all know life is forever changing.  Well, mine is anyway!
Some changes just sort of happen, others take a decision to make that certain change, and some are easier than others.
For several reasons, I have decided to close my studio on ArtFire.

And will be focusing more on my shops on https://handmadeartists.com/.  I just don't have enough time in my day anymore to be involved in two different venues.  Taking care of a 12 1/2yr old and a 2 1/2 yr old while my daughter works just takes up too much of my time.

I think that Andrew & Kimberly, creators of  http://handmadeartists.com/forum/ and https://handmadeartists.com/ are so dedicated to us artisans and getting us promoted, and put in so many hours doing so, that I would much rather put my efforts into helping support them.

I may not get as much done as I would really like to - but I would much rather have what I do get done go more towards helping promote these wonderful venues than to continue spreading it out. Come by and see me at https://handmadeartists.com/shop/lisianblue where I have my hand knit and hand crocheted hats, scarves, wash clothes, dish clothes, baby bibs, booties, and more, like these Hand Knit Lavender Blue Fingerless Gloves.. or https://handmadeartists.com/shop/reflections where I have my stained glass, hand painted glass, and glass art pendants. One of my favorites, my blue Art Nouveau Hand Painted Floral Bottle.

And oh yeah, my daughter got a job! YAY!  which also means a bit more of a routine around here!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a grand day!

Oh Yes, those comments are moderated, but I love hearing from you.

I am reconnected again! YAY! but still having a hard time getting myself on any kind of schedule in this very non schedule household.  About the only things that happen on a schedule around here are the kids bedtime, and Kai going and coming from school.
But, my daughter's schedule varies - and since she is now looking for work, it varies even more!

I miss doing my blogs!  So, I am going to try to write more - not going to join any rings yet or even try to write on certain days just yet - but when I can, I'll be around!  Really appreciate those of you that have stuck with me, and it looks like I even have a new follower or two - thank you all so much!
When I get to 100 followers, I'm going to have a contest - not sure what the prize will be yet, if you have any ideas from either of my shops on HandMadeArtists, let me know!

Remember, comments are moderated! :)
