New Day for my Creating
My outfit for the first night of the Steamfest

Friday evening and Saturday I spent in Salt Lake City at the first annual Steamfest. I was in the artist alley. I only took some of my jewelry (about half of it Steampunk).

It went fairly well for only my second show. I feel that I have learned a few things. I am hoping to get into the Dickens Festival this year yet. Now the next few days will be spent; finishing my website, deciding what to make to have juried for the festival, clearing up my work area (so I can product new stuff), updating all my business books, and cleaning my office. I would like to sneak a couple of new designs in also. I have some fun idea's I want to explore.

Thanks to all who stop and chatted at the Steamfest!

Trees for the Festival

Image
As it is almost the end of January, I felt that I should get myself in gear and finish my 2017 Christmas posts. Here is the process I went though this year for the two large trees and one small tree that I decorated for the Festival of Trees First I measured the spaces needed down in my basement game /family area. This tree required a 7x9 foot area and the other required a 9 by 14 foot area. Next I put the trees bag where I wanted to put the tree up in each space. Then I got my ornaments gathered. Next was assembling the trees and checking to make sure the lights worked, as they are always new trees, so far I have not had a problem with lights. Then I put some of the ornaments on, the tree topper on, and the tree skirt around it to check how I am planning it to look. Next I stack the boxes I am going to wrap to had depth and high to the display Then I put out he other items I have that go with the tree theme. This one was a Hogwarts Christmas, of course.

Baked Sandwiches

Baked Meat and Cheese Sandwiches I started with two loaf of french bread as I wanted to make enough to freeze some for later and I have found that it only takes a few minutes more to do multiple batches so I can freeze some for a later date. I sliced the bread in half lengthwise Then in a mixing bowl I put one 8oz package of softened cream cheese  and 8 oz of softened butter I then cream it well until it is all mixed together and smooth Them comes the poppy seed I add 2 T of poppy seed And them cream it again until the poppy seeds are evenly mixed in the butter/cream cheese mixture I divide the mixture in 4 and spread it on the halves of french bread.
