Cows in Nevada
There were lots of cows.

Monument Valley

Yosemite

Mono Lake

What can I say Yosemite was totally awesome and I took an insane number of pictures. We stayed at White Wolf which is a tiny lodge/camp area away from the main part of the park. It was really nice and the guys that work there were super sweet. We left Yosemite yesterday and went to Mono Lake, then took highway fifty aka the loneliest road to Baker, NV and spent the night there.

there's more to come (monument valley, cows and clouds) but i need to go to bed 'cause we have lot's of driving to do tommorrow!

the renegade craft fair was really great - we saw lots of our wonderful crafter friends and lots of our super fabulous customers - thanks so much to everyone that came out to support us and all the other vendors!!

now it's on to Yosemite National Park!!

there were so many people!

Mucca Pazza - the most awesome marching band ever - they played at the fair - it was so great!

the building the fair was in.

We made it to San Francisco! The Renegade Craft Fair is today and we have lots of goodies to offer. We left early Wednesday moring, drove all the way across texas to Las Cruces NM the first day, to twenty nine palms CA the second and we arrived in Sf last night.

Texas went on forever.

A cactus on Southern AZ

I was mightly impressed by this palm tree.

Jodhua Tree National Park was amazing! I think we were the only people there except for the park rangers - it was awesome!

we have been frantically getting ready for the renegade craft fair in san francisco - it is this saturday and sunday. we are driving! it is a thirty hour drive (about 3 days) and i am looking forward to it because i get to read and stare out the window. we leave tomorrow at five am and hope to make it all the way across texas. then we drive to LA and on to san francisco. i will be posting as we go. i got a new little camera so picture taking should be easier

ps
for all you would be burglars, my brother and his large dog are house sitting so don't even think about it.

Tiger Lily

These two lilies started blooming while we were gone. The double tiger lilies are next.

Supermaggie at the Renegade Craft Fair Brooklyn. There was so much good stuff at the fair - I think it gets better every year. It rained terribly at the end of the first day - thunder, lightning, lots of rain and wind in a swimming pool under a metal tent... not such a good idea. I actually really loved it. One of our racks fell in the wind and a bunch of our t-shirts got wet so I though it would be fun to have a wet t-shirt sale but everything dried out overnight so it wasn't really necessary. The second day was really nice, good weather and lots of people.

We will be at the San Francisco Renegade in a couple weeks - this one will be indoors.

we like to drive to the craft fairs, i really like road trips and michael really doesn't like to fly plus it's a pain to ship everything. i always take lots of pictures as we are flying down the interstate, most of them are blurry or of trees or eighteen wheelers but this on is pretty cool. this is on the way into manhattan approaching the Lincoln tunnel.
we almost got a flat driving into the city, right before we entered the lincoln tunnel we hit a big pothole and started hearing a clicking noise coming from the front right tire. the next morning michael found a huge bolt with the washer still on it stuck into the tire. we were so lucky it didn't go flat in the tunnel - that would have been terrible. but the tire didn't go flat and luckily we have a full size spare so michael change the tire and all was well.

Alpine Motel

we are on our way to the Renegade Craft Fair in Booklyn! we left early this morning and have stopped in Abingdon VA at the Alpine Motel (which is an awesome little retro motel just off I-81 - i will post pictures later). our car is packed to the roof with wonderful goodies to sell this weekend and i can't wait to see everyone.

The Art Star Craft Bazaar was Awesome!!
We went to Philadelphia over the weekend for the Art Star Craft Bazaar and it was really great - we had lots of fun and sold lots of t-shirts. We have to recover for a couple of days then get ready to head to Brooklyn for the Renegade Craft Fair, it's on 6/14 and 6/15 !

I now have a place to paint! Since we moved Supermaggie out of our house and backyard shed, I get the shed to paint in. Yay! It's actually been about five years since I have had time or space to work on any paintings so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Michael and I went down to the beach last weekend. It was still a bit chilly so neither one of us got in the water but it was nice to sit in the sun, drink a few beers and watch the water.

Another part of our new fabulous work space - Michael's packing area! This is where Michael packs up all the orders and sends them to our wonderful customers :)

Our new spacious printing area - we were printing everything in a sweet little shed in our backyard but it was only 192 sq feet and I didn't have enough room to set up all the stations on my press but now we have plenty of room!! Our new printing space is 1400 sq feet :)
