New year, new jewelry, new goals
2009 was a good year for Zen Creations Jewelry. A very good year. Our shows and home parties doubled, we became better known locally, and many more new pieces were created. It was also a stressful year, and trying to juggle a day job, home, family, craft shows, home parties, 2 online shops, etc. --- well, as any busy mom knows --- it's very difficult to keep things balanced.
I took a few weeks off around the holidays to take a break from jewelry and to determine my goals and focus for 2010. This year I'm going to try to keep things more balanced. Because of the increase in shows we did last year, both online shops were not updated with new pieces as often as I would have liked. This year I want to try to update them on a regular basis with new pieces and old favorites. I'm also going to experiment with different techniques and metals to add a larger variety to the jewelry that Zen Creations offers.
Here is a sneak peek at some new rings that will be added to both shops very soon!

Greencastle - First Fridays - November
Pete and Megan Lancaster to perform at Greencastle’s First Friday
First Friday in Greencastle on November 6 welcomes Blues musician Pete Lancaster and his daughter Megan. These Greencastle residents of three years will be performing at Fran Kenawell’s State Farm office on the square. Pete will be showcasing the various styles of Blues music, and Megan will be performing acoustically.
Peter, a Bowie, Maryland native, started his music career and lifelong love of the Blues in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a one-man band—singing, playing guitar and harmonica, and stomping on a tambourine-filled crate.
From Cleveland, Pete moved to Hagerstown where he immersed himself in the music scene. He participated in the last Hagerfest music festival and immediately began playing solo around the area. Soon, he and neighbor Carl Disque formed the duo 2 Blue. When Carl wanted to start a Blues fest in Hagerstown, Pete was on board. And so, the idea of the Western Maryland Blues Festival was formed.
To drum up interest in the festival, Carl and Pete began reaching out to the public and providing an education in the Blues. Carl would set up engagements with local organizations, and Pete would perform, explaining and playing different styles of the blues, such as Delta, Texas, Piedmont, Louisiana, and “train ride to Chicago” or electric Blues.Pete also put out the call to his fellow Blues musician and was able to line up several Blues greats for the first festival—first generation Blues artist Robert Lockwood, Jr. (stepchild of the legendary Robert Johnson who allegedly “sold his soul to the devil”), The Nighthawks, and Mr. Downchild.
Currently, Pete performs with his band, Stack O’ Blues. Members also include Arnie Helmick on bass, Alan Mason on guitar and keys, Bart Lay on drums, and Duane “D.C.” Carnes on guitar.
Megan Lancaster has been singing with her father since she was four years old and has been playing drums, bass, piano, and guitar since she was six. Megan is currently a student at the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts where she is enrolled in the music department for voice.
Megan is influenced by those whose hearts are completely in music and lives life through music. Her passions are acoustic and worship music, and she is a member of the Christian band, The Ground Between You and I. The band plays instrumental compositions in the ambient and shoegaze styles.
Both Pete and Megan are looking forward to taking part in First Friday. Hope you can stop by on November 6 and support our local talent.

Downtime :(
Well, last Wednesday I ended up having to get more Rituxan. My platelet counts were at 98,000, which is pretty good for me, but my Dr felt that I should get another dose. We're hoping that I can get 6 months between treatments now instead of 4. Nothing like having to get chemo just a few weeks away from major craft shows!
The good thing was I was able to put some of my downtime to good use. I made several pieces since last Wednesday, and I laid out several more to make this week. It also forced me to take some time for myself and rest, which I think I needed much more that I had orginally thought.
Up next is Shippensburg Corn Fest. First time we will be doing this event and I hear that vendors do really well. My mother will be vending at this event as well, so I'm crossing my fingers that we both do well.
As for the exciting secret news -- hang in there. I will be posting more information on that soon!

Sidewalk Days and more
A few weeks ago we were at Sidewalk Days in Greencastle, PA. New spot this year, on Carisle Street, and while Friday was a little long (12 hours!) I got see a lot of familiar faces and meet many new people. Saturday we had to pack up early due to heavy rain, but overall I think the show went well.
Next up is the Mercersburg Farmer's Market and Shippensburg Corn Festival. This will be out first year doing the Corn Festival and we keep hearing that it is always wall to wall people and that vendors are often cleaned out by the end of the day! My mom will also be vending at the Corn Festival, but will be at the other end of the street. I will post more information later this month about the Corn Festival.
I also added some new events to the events section of my blog. I have 1 other event pending and a very special project in the works. I will post more on that later this month!

Busy, Busy, Busy!
Whew! I finally got a few minutes to update my blog.
Between craft shows, Farmer's Market, 2 online shops and family functions, I've barely had time to relax. It's all worth it, but July is the busiest of the summer months. Last weekend was Sidewalk Days in Greencastle, PA. This year there were a handful of new vendors and we had a new spot on South Carlisle Street. I have to say I had a lot of fun this year and it was good to see so many familiar faces.
Next up is the farmer's Market in Mercersburg (1 date in July, 1 on August) and then the Cornfest in Shippensburg, PA!
Oh, and about a month ago we brought a new addition to the family home:
Our new little guy is about 3 months old now. We're still working on house training him, but so far he's doing great!

Last weekend was Sidewalk Days in Greencastle, PA. This year there were a handful of new vendors and we had a new spot on South Carlisle Street. I have to say I had a lot of fun this year and it was good to see so many familiar faces.
Next up is the farmer's Market in Mercersburg (1 date in July, 1 on August) and then the Cornfest in Shippensburg, PA!
Oh, and about a month ago we brought a new addition to the family home:

I wish I could have found a better picture! LOL
