her NEW studio ..

So finally it is cooling off a little here in AZ .... I am spending more time out in my studio (cooling a 2 car garage is huge deal here ! )

So the space is finally starting to come together , i have hung a couple of chandeliers and am still hoping to hang a few more soon .. I have some fun ideas for lighting , but luckily too I have a couple windows which add some natural light and when its cool enough i can prop open the door to the garage ... we also painted the floors with concrete stain a nice chocolate brown ...

the garage is not directly attached to the house so you have a seperate entrance and it kinda feels like i am in my own little world here !  I have hung curtains in aqua and brown along the side where the garage door is ... you really have no idea your in a garage when you enter .. I have used fabric to hide all the door parts ...

  My plans for the future... a holiday open house and studio tour coming in November .... and next year I will be having a class in late January or early February so stay tuned !! 

hope you enjoyed the mini tour !! 

until next time

she loves glitterfest ...

 I had such a great time at Glitterfest in California ... Here is a peak at my table ( all photos are courtesy of my bestie Karin at Creative Chaos ..)

I also got to see many people including Jenny Doh and Beth Livesay from Stampington ... what a great surprise ... Jenny and I will be hanging out more at Silver Bella .. and I can't wait ...

so after glitterfest was done we went to meet a few friends at a local pub... here is Karin, Jenny and I posing with the guy we picked up ... After the dinner ( and a few too many drinks ) my mom and I headed back to our hotel where two other good friends (Michelle and Maija )  were staying too so we hung out at their room for awhile and had wayyyy too much fun and laughs  !!!( this photo was of Michelle and I at the Creative connection in Minnesota )  What a wonderful way to spend a weekend hanging with girfriends and having a ball !!! 

 

until next time ,

WOWZERS did i have a wonderful time at the Junk Bonanza !!! IT was AMAZING to say the least ... so many wonderful people vendors, shoppers and bloggers......

So go to their links so that you can see much more ..... this was the booth across from mine called hunt and gather ... Tracey ( aka French Larkspur ) got some wonderful photos of their booth ...

Here is a glimpse of my booth on day one  :

I got to meet so many many wonderful new friends and ran into lots of people I knew too !! It was such a wonderful time !! so be sure to check out these friends blogs to see more Becky, Traci, Jenn, Suzanne, Gretchen and Tracey....

what she's been up to....

so besides moving my entire house and studio (in the 100 degree plus heat) I have also been busy creating lots of new things for the upcoming Junk Bonanza event that takes place at the same time the Creative Connection event is going on ......   Here are a few of my new pieces that will be joining me ...  

so I have been busy putting things away and organizing and setting up a wonderful new studio that I cant wait to share with you...

I have also made a couple new halloween pieces for the fall :

well next week i am off to minnesota but I have some new plans for my blog .... lets just say you will get to see a much better view of my studio and what i am working on ..........

so until next time ,

she is moving ..

Yep we are in the process of moving our house AGAIN ... I know I know but this time we are hoping to stay a bit longer (we have had alot of issues with our current rental , which is a whole other story )  But this time I am going to have a huge studio 20x20 to be exact which is almost double the space .. . and I have some magical things planned for this space ( hint... you will be able to visit ) and the remodel has already begun ... don't worry our new landlords are perfectly okay with me remodeling their garage !   SO .. i may be absent for a another week or so but I will be back with lots of new photos and how my new studio space is coming along !!! 

In the meantime though I wanted to give a shout out to The Creative Connection Event ... I was so honored that Jo Packman and Nancy Soriano asked me to create some unique jewelry pieces for there event !! So if your going and you will definitely want to check it out !!!I will be doing the Junk Bonanaza which coincides with TCC.  So I can't wait to see all the wonderful ladies attending both !!!!!!

until next time,
