Gallery Opening!!!

Cindy Saadeh Fine Art is having a gallery opening reception this Friday, May 8th. I can't believe the day is almost here! In actuality, we've been open for almost 3 weeks (3 weeks on Saturday to be exact). Michael continues to work feverishly in his studio and is constantly being pulled away to do this or that (sorry, baby) in the gallery, so, needless to say, there hasn't been much creating... But he has made some cheese knives and cutting boards. We will be at the Racks by the Tracks in Downtown Kingsport next weekend. I have been creating these cool crochet cozies to sell and Michael will have cutting boards, and I am hoping some cool wooden coasters as well. The only other events on the calendar is Blue Plum Festival and then Kingsport's Summer Concert Series (Twilight Alive on Thursdays and Bluegrass on Broad on Fridays). I'm sure the latter will keep us VERY busy. Anyway, come fall, I hope that we will be having OUR gallery opening for Ripper Arts. :) To follow us on facebook: Cindy Saadeh Fine Art and Ripper Arts Studio and Gallery Are you on facebook?

Tuesday is Family Day

Well, I haven't stuck to my daily topics as planned, but hey, life doesn't always go according to plans. This weekend was Seth's prom. Here is a picture of me and him that his best friend's dad took. Then there is a picture of the four of them (Seth, Kylee, Bailee and Tyria) who went together that I took. To see all of the pictures (well, almost all of them) go to my Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/talinaripper

I am Thankful for...

Or today, rather, PROUD OF... SETH! He has been in the newspaper on the front of the Sports Section of the Kingsport Times News once a week for the last three weeks! Yesterday, he was on the FRONT page of the paper AND on the front page of the Sports Section. He is ranked 3rd in the state for the 110m hurdles! The first photo I took at the Times-News Relays. The others I got online from http://www.tricitiessports.com/

My Creative Jacob

Well, he is at it again... Not that he ever really stopped. It is just with this creation in particular, he kept asking, "Will you put this on Etsy?" And look at those big brown eyes and cute little freckles on his nose! How could I say no to this crocheting cutie?! It is for sale in the gallery as well, until it finds a new home. Anyone looking to purchase a 7 year old's crocheted wearable work of art? I am so proud of him for sticking to this new craft and getting better and better at it!
