Doing the stuff I said I was gonna do...



When I started this blog I said that one of the changes I was going to make in my life this year is actually doing the stuff I talk about doing.  I keep this little quote on my "inspiration board" in my office to remind me of that goal.


For the past three years I have helped my sister-in-law, Kristin Montgomery, and my good friend Amy Pence-Brown with their brain-child "Wintry Market."  Basically, I have just helped set up, spread the word about their great event and of course bought some goods from lovely local artisans.  Each year I have thought to myself, why don't I create some things for Wintry Market?  I have always loved making art, but a lot of other good stuff like jobs and kids have taken up my time and energy and it's been put on the back burner for quite a few years.

My friend and work colleague, Sarah Fuhriman, loves to craft as well. As we worked at our real job this year, we also schemed and dreamed and made plans to do something together for Wintry Market.  At first it was just talk but over the past two months we have been busy little "bees" getting ready to submit our application.  With the help of Sarah's handsome boyfriend, the talented photographer, Levi Bettwieser, we submitted our application with pictures of our work early this week.  Today we got the AWESOME news that we have been chosen as 2014 Wintry Market vendors!




This year at the conclusion of the event we work on together, Sarah gave me this card. We really are a mutual admiration society and work so well together. We decided "The Bee's Knees" was the perfect name for our new venture.

So, please visit our new Facebook page and more importantly come check us out at this year's Wintry Market, November 22nd and 23rd at the El Korah Shriners Center Downtown Boise.
