Life has gotten busy and time passes quickly. <br />
I babysit 36 hours a week for my grandson, Alex. I know I'm partial, but holy moly he is adorable. <br />

Our barbecue business is growing and changing as well. It's been growing by leaps and bounds in the last year. So much Timm is considering leaving Martin Harris. He is in his 40th year with the company so this is a seriuos decision....a scary, exciting decision. </div>

We just hosted our 7th annual Spring BBQ at our home. About 250 folks came out on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, ate tons of yummy barbecue prepared by many great volunteer hands, and donated generously to benefit K9s for Warriors. It was an amazing day. </div>

Last fall, I started teaching classes in my workshop. It's been a lot of fun to get back into teaching craft classes. Students have created lighted porch posts for several holidays, snowmen, arrows, scarecrows, and more. </div>

Craft shows have been really good the last two years. I sell at three big shows in the fall. The Harvest Festival, Art in the Park, and McQueen Craft Faire. I still do the show here at my workshop. With the barbecue stuff growing, we expanded the kitchen so using the workshop was out of the question (since I use the kitchen). I bought two 10x20 party tents with sides to use in the courtyard. Well, horrible winds blew through Vegas the night before everyone came to set up and totally destroyed the tents. But I perseverred and went and purchased 3 more 10x10s canopies and added them to the 2 I already had. Thankfully, the winds died down and it was a great show. </div>

This is a new show in the Las Vegas area that started last month. It's located on the west side of the valley near Alta and Rampart at the Suncoast Casino. It is a monthly event that just began this summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be at the August 30 market date as a jump start to my fall craft show season. Please stop by to visit, shop, and see all the vendors and then be sure to stop by and see me too. I'll have painted items for school and fall along with some of my killer deco mesh wreaths.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is an article from the newspaper on the event. Its a great review and Vegas really needs some good crafting events on a regular basis. <br />

Trailhound Smokers BBQ has been busy with catering and drop off orders, along with some pick ups. The pit has been more than busy and full. Thank you's go out to Advanced Pro, Martin Harris, Coronado HS Band, Canyon Ridge Church, First Congregational Church, and more. We hope y'all have had full bellies of delicious barbecued food when you left your events. <br />

Wishing everyone a great Thanksgiving!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so thankful for all our blessings. Timm smoked turkey and then finished them off in the fryer...the best of both worlds...so tasty. I made three pans of mashed potatoes, and a huge pot of gravy. Family brought the rest of the sides and Chris brought a honey baked ham. Christy made her first batch of southwest cream corn and it was wiped out. Desserts galore with pumpkin pie, lemon lush, and pumpkin trifle. Oh my gosh, so much food. Everyone went home with a to-go box or two to share and enjoy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your Thanksgiving was full of love, family and friends. </div>

This week I went back all because of this black chalkboard style ribbon. It's been taunting me in my dreams...seriously, I wanted this ribbon bad. I tried to find it elsewhere with no luck so I sucked it up and paid the price for it. </div>

Last year, I went in for my knee replacements the day after I got home from this event. I have to say, this year was so much more enjoyable and easier for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm looking forward to next year already. Love to be able to spend time with Timm's family up there, see customers who have become friends, and enjoy the Washoe Valley and Reno area. </div>

It is a good show, close to home, and easy work shifts. <br />
I will still be in Logandale, NV (just 45 north of Las Vegas...on the way to Utah) for the Pomegranate Festival that Friday and Saturday, November 7&8. It's held at the Clark Country Fairgrounds. I'll have lots of Christmas decor, some Thanksgiving as well as some everyday items. I hope you'll take the short drive and come enjoy the country for a day. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.blogratedirectory.com/Dir/Crafts.php" title="Crafts Blog Directory"><img src="http://www.blogratedirectory.com/?act=in&id=9186" alt="Blog Directory" title="Blog Directory" border="0" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084340176219703430.post-25620660247833329472014-10-22T11:05:00.001-07:002014-10-22T11:05:41.727-07:00What a difference a year makes!<div style="text-align: center;">

I know its not good for a person but I used to eat Tylenol and Advil like it was candy to get through my days. I tried to not let my knees hold me back from what I wanted to do...and for the most part I think I did a really good job at that. I still was a super busy person...floral work, craft shows and classes, holiday window painting, camping, ATV riding, BBQ contests, water aerobics, walk Cassy, everyday stuff...the list goes on. The day I pulled into the Michael's parking lot and didn't get out of the car I knew I'd met my limits. I just sat in my car and cried...I felt truly defeated. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A new round of X-rays showed that there was no cartilage left, my knees were bone-on-bone. No wonder every movement was painful. </div>

One year ago today I hobbled into the hospital for a double knee replacement. It had been a 15 year process to get to that point for me. I have been through years and years of cortisone shots every three months, I tried the gel shots...they worked for about a year to 15 months, and 3 rounds of arthroscopic surgery on my knees. </div>

I spent 10 days in the hospital and rehab. I really didn't want to go to rehab but am so glad I did. It was worth the extra time away from home. I spent 8 hours a day on the CPM machines, occupational therapy, physical therapy and exercise. I came home and spent another 3 weeks on the CPM machines for 8 hours a day. I had a great home care nurse that came everyday and a physical therapist that pushed me. </div>

I got clearance to do pretty much whatever I want to do from Dr. Bradford in January. In May, we went to Moab, Utah for a week of ATV riding and exploring. I even hiked about 3 miles...a huge deal and success for me! We spent Labor Day riding and exploring the Paiute Trail from Marysvale, Utah. What a great time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Barbecue contests and catering have been sooo much more enjoyable. Turn-ins are not something I dread now. I look forward to doing more very soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just finished up my three largest craft shows and I have to say what a difference a year makes. It was like comparing day and night in the way that I felt during and when they were complete. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel blessed to be able to have both knees replaced. It is a life changing event for me. I've had a great support system behind me with my hubby, parents, and friends and family. I continue to go to my water aerobics class, its so good for me. We've bought bikes and ride 3-4 nights a week...Cassy has even learned to trot along beside me. We even look forward to it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would recommend having knee replacements for anyone that is considering it. I also highly recommend my orthopedist, Dr. Michael Bradford. He's amazing! </div>

Lots of fun metal and wood pieces were used to create these wreaths. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most of these wreaths sold at my first show, but rest assured, I am creating more for the next one. </div>

Woo Hoo! It's the first craft show of the season...the Harvest Festival is coming to Las Vegas this weekend, Sept 5-7! This show brings lots of excitement for vendors and customers alike. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't forget to bring your discount coupon or non perishable food donation for Safe Nest to receive $2 off your entry fee. The Country Register has a discount coupon on the cover, the newspaper has been running coupons as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've seen TV commercials every morning this last week and this week during the news on Channel 8. Billboards are up too. Let's hope it brings in lots of excited buyers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, I sucked it up and spent the money to get a double booth so I can feature Christmas as well as Harvest and Halloween. With that being said...please...come shop with us! We've moved locations within the show to do this, you can find us on the first row in space 128. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The show will be at Cashman Center and runs Friday and Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday 10 to 5. <br />We'll see you there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
