Vrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooommmmm!!!!

You know the saying "possession is 9/10th of the law"? Well, it is my MY garage....and, I Do have the keys.....  Haha, I just wish MY name was on the title!
Some very dear friends of ours sold their home in a nearby town and purchased a house a couple doors down from us. The closings on these two homes are a few days apart leaving my friends homeless until Tuesday. So, meanwhile, our gargage is where their overflow is parked for the time being and our friends are parked at a local Holiday Inn, cooling their jets so-to-speak, until we can all get them moved in next week or so.

"My Cheyenne" necklace new in my Etsy shop.

Meanwhile I have been getting ready for the "14th Annual Mother's Day Studio Tour". (Official announcement soon but here is a link: http://www.camanoarts.org/studiotour.) In about 3 weeks Camano Island will be crawling with tourists whose goal it will be to visit as many local artist's studios as they can and they can do this over two weekends. May 11-13 and May 19-20. So come and visit us and if you would like to see my work in person during the tour, (or anytime) you can do so at Seagrass Gallery here on beautiful Camano Island in Washington. I will be at the gallery on May 20 so come say "hi".

It's been a good day....

I enjoyed gardening in the warm spring sunshine with my sweetie today. More sunshine and even warmer temperatures tomorrow. Hope your weekend is as sweet....

It's April Fool's Day!




What a lovely weekend I had. Even though it poured buckets on Friday and Saturday I did manage to get some things done. And I even got to spend Friday night with all three of my boys and a bunch of other family members that I don't get to see very often. We had a blast! 
Today I cleaned the entire house and made all this new jewelry AND I even got it all added to my Etsy shop. Then I watched the movie "Bridesmaids". Totally cracked me up!   
Tomorrow I have to start another painting project at the bar. I've put it off too long.....

It's been a busy day...



New in my Etsy shop!

Have a really great weekend!



No, I haven't stopped making beads.....


......the kiln is full as a matter of fact.

My camera battery died just as I started taking photos of my newest sculpted paper flowers. I chose the colors to go with our soon to be freshly painted women's restroom at the bar. Two walls will be Cabernet 2116-30 by Benjamin Moore. A beautiful deep violet. I know what you are thinking, but no, we don't have really rowdy customers so my box frame of sculpted flowers should be just fine. It's not like I spent a fortune on this piece, (less than $30). I will have to affix it to the wall permanently though, somehow.
