Over the years, when checking to see how my works show up in search engines results, I have become well-acquainted with photos and information about a woman named Cristina - or sometimes Christina Serra, who's husband is apparently a football player, named Pep Guardiola. Apparently she is involved in textiles too - in wearable ones! A quick look at the Serra Claret website of Barcelona, shows that Cristina (without an 'h', reporters! Get it right!) and her sister Judith head the family business, that was started by their musician grandfather in the early 1930s. His name was Serra too. It looks like they offer several different clothing brands for the fashionable people of the city.
It would be nice if the reporters would get the spelling of Cristina's name right, and that the search engines wouldn't automatically assume that their users are looking for top Spanish fashionistas, or their husbands. Sometimes, people are just looking for unknown textile artists. maybe; ) I have thought about sending her a little piece of art, as a balm, in case she gets tired of seeing my images/name pop up when she has to do internet things. Ah, yes, so, is this what it feels like, all those people with blogs? You basically sit and talk to yourself, and eventually someone comes by and read what you said? I am not entirely convinced, but I suppose it could be something like a newspaper in a way of spreading news.
My news goes like this: This Past Saterday, I (and a friend. See Links on Homepage) participated in a small craft fair called the Native Arts and Crafts Fair. Which makes my third vendor booth! I first was lucky to be drawn for a shared Woolworth Walk booth at Bele Chere, ( I don't know if I will ever do that again!), and second booth was a shared one with two friends (again, see links homepage) at LAAFF, which I would definitely do again, because it was rather fun and interesting. I have applied for the Big Crafty, and have high hopes that my name will be chosen as one of the lucky ones. I do so love the Big Crafty. As far as other news, the rain has finally stopped (how lovely the sun is...), and Autumn is in the air. And oh, how I do so love Autumn... absolutely my favorite time of year. Wow! New post in my very own blog! So, after much confusion, and learning about DNS and a-records, and trying to fugure out what to put in what box (with no clear instructions anywhere) I finally put something in the right place and poof! It's working! My domain was parked in the 'bad side of town' , so my web of trust told me, and now it's connected to the website I'v been working on! (not the bad side of town) |
