We have made it through January!!  Yay.....and it was a cold one up here in the North for us.  So now going into February that means we are a tad closer to Spring.

If you have looked for us at the Sartell Farmers Market the first Saturday of the month, we weren't there as an organization had booked out the whole Community Center.
The optional date was Saturday February 8, but everyone cancelled due to scheduling conflicts of 3 of vendors.  I would have been the only one there.... 😳
I posted on my Facebook page that it was cancelled and the Farmers Market will resume on Saturday, March 1.

NOTES-N-BLING Jewelry:
I've been working really hard on jewelry pieces in January for the Cowgirl Luncheon in Jordan which took place on the last Saturday of that month.  I still have some unsold items I made for that show which  I think are just so super pretty.  Here are a few sneak peak photos:
I've started a brand new MEN's LINE!!  So excited as many have asked, especially for bracelets.  So this is just a sneak peek here (you will be able to find more photos on my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/NotesNBling) in the next coming days....  
More designs are planned, including some necklaces.   Hubby cut out a display wood piece for me  I need to finish yet and have ready for the next shows.  
​The horse necklaces are special to me as I love the pink opal and the gemstone heishi beads!  They are just gorgeous!  The howling wolf is the second of two I scored, so this is the last and only one for a while until hopefully I can find them again.  The wolf howls at an Azurite Magnasite rough stone focal, he has a small charm of the same stone and a leather fringe.  The leather necklace part features Apple Jasper, Denim Lapis and Picasso Czech.

​At the moment the Tucson AZ Gem show is happening, one place I've been wanting to visit for years but haven't had the opportunity yet.  It's probably best if I travel with someone who is experienced in being there and knows where the great places are to go to.
So right nowI have a fellow artist shopping in Tucson - and boy oh boy, so many gorgeous beads she's getting.  I have bought a few from her but have to limit my spending tremendously, so it's been hard to choose as some things I have to grab quick before they are gone....   So soon there will be some VERY LIMITED Navajo Pearl items in my inventory, once they arrive and I finalize my ideas and designs....
​
LASTLY:
I'm so pumped that I actually started picking up my guitar again and practiced for an hour or so per day a few days in a row.  The last couple days paperwork has been dragging me over to get them done, but I'm not stopping again because I need to get back in vocal and guitar playing shape!.
Here I bought my favorite guitar last May and hardly have played it.  It's been quite busy with designing, craft/art shows and now the dreaded income tax paperwork.  I sure wish they'd make that go away forever...

Anyhow, so it's been really nice to play and exercise my rusty voice (yikes!!) and for my fingers to develop guitar string callouses again so they don't hurt so much after an hour of playing.  Can you imagine, I used to play/sing for 3 hours at times in one shot!
That's something I no longer can do - for now anyways.

Now I wish you all a wonderful February and Valentines Day and I hope Spring arrives soon!

Lots of love,
​Sam

    Psalm 100 Scripture
    1 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.
    2 Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing.
    3 Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
    4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
    5 For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations.
