This weekend was certainly a busy one. My girlfriend Tracey and I headed to her studio to get some work done for our upcoming show on August 1, 2008 in Emmaus, PA for "First Night" and then not to mention, we are trying to get some pieces done for Musikfest which starts AUGUST 1, 2008. Our work will be showing at "Ostara's located at 521 Main Street, Bethlehem, PA. Their phone number is 610-866-5577.

SESSION IN THE STUDIO

Well over the weekend my husband went to the studio for the first time with his new kit...and blasted his ears wide open! LOL I have to say, he actually took some really great pictures of his drums. You see, my husband doesn't believe in this thing called the super speed highway...cell phones, cable t.v., satilite, ipods, digital cameras and yes, the internet! Living in the country does this to a person and coming from the city life, I happen to agree. Never thought I would, but I actually love it and wouldn't have it any other way! As my husband drums on his drums in his studio and I'm painting and sculpting and talking to my eclectic beings in my studio, all is right in the world at The Studio at Crow Haven Farm, not to mention... The Inn at Broom Hall...my husband's bar! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are getting ready for the next one!

Cheers for Now!
