got a few landscape stones done for spring

 Got a few of the landscape stones done this weekend, plus a goat milk soap and handmade body butter basket together. I'm selling the baskets for $22.50 I believe including shipping within USA after looking on usps site- they will contain one soft goat milk soap, 2 little hard goat milk soaps and a hand made coconut oil,cocoa butter, shea butter, olive oil body butter in a little basket. The landscape stones are $20 pick up price, kinda heavy to ship though I can do wood pieces you can put in your garden as well. Drop me a line katehagerartist@yahoo.com to discuss a project.

I still think these are just awesome whether you want them for beach, market, school or just a general bag. They can be purchased at - http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/kate-hager/shop

cost of living in America

Anyone that follows my art and blog knows I long...long to get out of the office. I had another office contact me about coming to them...for a $3 an hour pay cut. Herein lies the problem...Just the required insurances our country REQUIRES...is $10,960 a year. That is BEFORE you get to the house payment, heat, utilities, car, gas and food. And they want us to work..for nothing.

 This is what I'm good at - go check out the rest of the blog posts, there's lots to look at :-) Hand Painted Sign work is where I belong. Making landscapes unique and individual is where I belong. I need y'alls help though to get there, I need to find a landscape architect, landscape firm, pool and patio place that wants to team up during the week here in mid-Michigan 3-4 days a week and pick up sign work to do on the other days along with our fresh heirloom produce market we are trying to get going. Know someone that lives in Montcalm, Ionia, Clinton, Kent, Eaton counties - direct em on over to this blog or http://katehagerartist.com

If your in Michigan and would like custom patio/landscape stones check these out...they stay outside year round and can be incorporated into your patio in a place they won't be walked on to make it one of a kind :-)

new logo :-) design work available

They all decided around here the few scraps that were thrown my way should be enough and all focused on dirt bike racing, new bikes and watching videos. So I came up with this for our final design logo for the farm, off to printers for new biz cards for the summer. So very ready for market season and so very much hoping you all are sharing the site, blog and I can get the orders to work my way out of the office. Happy Easter all - John 3:17
