Have a Happy New Year!!!
Tammy

This Blog will be Closing soon...

But a change is in the air, I have been pondering the idea for sometime to change my business name. I have been longing to do something other than primitive, but still have that in the background somewhere. So with that, my new blog will be "By Thy Hands" Tinkerings. If you are following this blog, please jump on over to my new one, and I am going to have a fresh look, and new and exciting things happening. I have neglected it for sooooo long that now is the time... a new year is coming and hopefully the transition will be a smooth one. Thanks to all my fans and supporters, now lets go have some fun!!!

Here's the link to my new blog: www.bythyhandstinkerings.blogspot.com

Merry Makers...It's Crunch Time...

Well, I find myself full of excitement for this show, a true folk art show, so many times I have been stuck in the antique show catagory, and although that was great at the time and I did well, I always longed to do a show with just artists!!! No worries of dealers underselling me with art work they never even created. Don't get me wrong, I love a good antique show as much as the next, but in the back of my mind, I always felt like that. I know I know rambling on and on, but I am truely excited!!! I have met some of the artists at this show and I am so blessed to be a part of the gang. So if you are in the area, Springfield, Oh. on Nov. 20th and 21st please stop in and see all of the great artists like: Lori Ann Corelis, Scott Smith, Ginger Cazan, and many more. Now, off to plan my booth, filling up the knooks and crannys... ta ta for now.

A change is near...

I am going to be getting ready for my up coming show,,,Merry Makers. So I won't be having anything for sale on my blog for awile... Thanks to all who emailed me with their concerns.

Blessings and goode cheer,
Tammy

Have I been Discovered?

Well, the answer to that is No. My dream is to someday be recognized for my talent as a doll/bear maker. I would never want to catagorize myself as "primitive", or "vintage", because I like many other avenues in the art world. I have met so many talented artists along the way, and hope to someday be as well known as them, and be able to make some real money at my sewing machine, (at least be able to support myself). I think my creations make people smile, and maybe they shed light on someone's day. I hope that is true!!! My hope is that you all look at my blog as a doorway into my life as an artist and take away some form of happiness...


Have a creative day!!!
