Spring Cleaning Mode

Anyone else in the spring cleaning mode? I sure am. Look out boys. Garbage man came last week and the dumpster is empty. =)

My booth at Noble Treasures has been totally re-done, along with The Speckled Goose. I even cleaned out my car and got stuff into the garage. No, the garage isn't cleaned out yet. It was too cold in the garage to work in there too much. Yes, that is my excuse and I am sticking to it.

I will get pictures taken this week and get them posted.

New Store Hours

Autumn has decided that it best for her and her family if she becomes a stay at home mom again. With this decision it has become necessary to adjust our store hours. My boys are enjoying having mom at home on Sunday.

New Store Hours

Mothers and Daughters (ages 10 and up)!

Come spend an evening together making your own jewelry! Students will make a gemstone donut pendant necklace and matching earrings. They will select one of the following gemstones for their necklace and earring set: Rhodenite (pink), Tiger Eye (golden browns), Sodalite (blue), Poppy Jasper (reds), and Onyx (black). The earrings are for pierced ears only, and will coordinate with the gemstones selected.

We will be using a combination of sterling silver and genuine semi-precious gemstones with Czech glass filler beads in a pre-designed necklace and earring set.

New items at The Speckled Goose

Autumn and I have been busy creating some great new items for the store. Autumn is busy working on more dolls, and I have been creating memory albums, and scrapbook calendars along with embellishments.

I am excited about the paper crafts we have in the store, and soon we'll have items for the card makers and scrapbookers. I am in the process of putting together embellishments that you can add to your cards, scrapbook pages, and /or gifts.

I have also updated our website with a lot of new items available on-line or in the store. I would love to know what you think ~ send me an email and let me know.

the New Year is upon us

Well the New Year is upon us, and in Colorado we are in the middle of an artic cold front. Yes, it is cold. When I started my car this morning it was -2 and is supposed to be in the 20's today.

John's 8th birthday is this Saturday, January 26th, and we will be spending it in Las Vegas at a Lamb Feeders convention. What you say??? Well ever since John was born, he has been spending his birthday somewhere other than at home. What are you going to do when the convention falls on his birthday every year? He'll be one little guy that can say that he has been . . . on his birthday, and here. . .

My goal for the year is to update The Speckled Goose blog at least weekly. Sometimes it may be about the store, and other times it may be about the ramblings of farm life.
