in laws

Had a wonderful week with Evie's in-laws. Wonderful people. We had great weather and a great time. Will miss them now as they've left for home.

Still, now we'll concentrate on FAR Studios ...oops, guess not. Wedding in a couple of weeks. School starts in one week. Our resident service man will leave for a short-term training assignment soon. Oh, well. We'll find some time somewhere for FAR Studios business. Stay tuned and keep checking the Etsy site.

Happy Tuesday!!

Well, Facebook hasn't hired me yet - surprise surprise! How many apps do you suppose they got on their question? A million? A billion? Two? But seriously, folks, who wouldn't want to hire a brilliant writer such as myself? Hmm?

Anyva, it's a new day. Thank you, Lord.

We had some major thunder storms yesterday. No big deal except we had family coming in by plane. Their flight was delayed for more than two hours and they actually flew through lightening when approaching ATL. Scary. But then some people feel Atlanta is scary even in good weather.

Anyway, they made it in safe and sound even if very weary. This week should be fun. FAR studios won't get much work done but family is far more important than dollars or even creative expression!

Speaking of FAR studios, we've had work featured in many treasuries on ETSY.com this past week. How exciting! People are beginning to notice us and we are very grateful.

Well, gotta go and mingle with the in-laws. Have a great Tuesday and a wonderful week. Adios!!

Facebook

Howdy, folks. How was your 4th?

Had an interesting experience on Facebook today. They asked if I wanted to be a "Beta tester". Does that sound safe? Would I be exposed to radiation? Are aquarium fish involved? Do I get paid? Well, we'll see. I submitted a sample question and my brilliant answer. I'll let you know later if my life is in danger!

I also found out that I apparently made an error when I posted a supposed link to this blog on my own Facebook page. I wondered why so few people are interested in my wonderful writing and my wry wit. Now I know!

I almost caused one of our Ohio artists to have a nervous breakdown this week. I proposed to her the possibility of becoming her permanent house guest. Wow! What fireworks. Burning telephone wires. Tearful Email. A trip to the counselor. I guess no one wants a short, fat, ugly gramma hanging around for an extended period of time.

Have any of you viewed the FAR Studios sponsored treasuries on Etsy this week? Evie did a beautiful job of gathering amazing art from many Etsy sources. Her newest compilation is "Functional Art" with something for everyone represented. Have fun with that!

Have a wonderful rest of the week. Remember church on Sunday. It's the cool place to be on a hot day!

blah blah 2

Hiya folks!

I'm getting yelled at (or Eed at) for not continuing this blah blog. So here I go once more to record trivial trivia and contribute to the dumbing down of America.

One very bright note - FARStudios.etsy.com is once more a going concern. Evie has restarted our Ebusiness with a bang. She has added some beautiful new papier mache work that you will be sure to love. Give it a look see and I know you'll find something on there to love.

We're still in Georgia and still loving it. Waiting on orders for our next move. Still hoping for Ft Jackson but I know we'll find interesting and fun stuff to see and do no matter where we end up. At least Ray's next assignment will hopefull preclude the possibility of any more long term deployments. Yippee!!!!!

We had a wonderful visit with our artist, Jordan, this summer who was able to spend almost 2 weeks with us. We miss her terribly now that she's back home. We hope to offer framed art from her soon.

The littlest member for the team, Elijah, is showing talent in his mom's chosen media, papier mache. Maybe you will get to see work by Elijah soon.

Our talented ribbon and craft artist, Lena, is getting married in August to a wonderful guy who happens to be a talented music mixer. What do ya think, Brad, want to work for FARStudios?

Audrey, our jewelry artisan, was married last August and has had her hands full with her new digs, new hubby and Jordan's new high school band commitments. Hopefully, we'll see more work from her emerge this winter.

Cub scouts and Boy scouts have slowed down for the summer which gives Evie more time to work. She and Orie fashioned a fantasy throne from some old 4 x 4s this week. It's really cool. She's going to allow the neighborhood kids to paint it when the weather dries out a little here. Should be interesting. We'll post pictures when it's completed.

Well, gotta go. Have a safe and fun 4th of July and remember our boys and girls who are serving you in all the armed forces.
