Some spring goodies

Just got done with our first spring craft show of the year. First weekend of march always seems so early for a spring show up here in eastern Wa. We are still cold and we had the chance of snow that weekend!

I made these cute spun cotton carrots for the show! They were a big hit, sold a bunch on friday so hurried and came home to make more. Only sold a few on saturday, isn't that how it always is?? You sell a bunch, go home and make more and then sell no more!! lol But on Sunday they carrot crowd was back and bunches went home with others. I still have more for sale $2.00 each, they are about 5" from tip to tip. The stems are made from hand-dyed crepe paper, I love how it came out varigrated.

I also have some spun cotton bunnies but the pictures are kinda dark, so hopefully friday I can get better pictures of the ones I have left and post them. Have a few other spun cotton ideas floating around in my head, so hope to get going on those next week. As well as some bunnies and annies that need to get finished.

Next sale is April 28-29 at Shadle Park High School, I also organize the show so it is crazy busy!

2012 already......really????

How has it become 2012 already?? Seems like it was last week I was riding the bus home from school with the windows all steamy from our young sweaty loud bodies writing '86 the year we were to graduate on them! Some days I wish I could go back to that time with no responsibilities (other then unloading the dishwasher:)) but since it won't happen I am going to embrace 2012 and make it a fantastic year.

I have many goals this year which I hope to accomplish, all written down in a wonderful journal I recieved in a paper fairy swap I was in. I will write about them at some point and time because one of my big goals this year is to actually participate on my blog! Everyday (several times hehe) I check my dashboard to see what my favorite blogs have posted. I enjoy so much reading about what people are creating, reading, cooking, etc. But I am horrible about writing on my blog!!!!

The internet has brought our world in to each of us closer, we have met people we never would have met if not for blogs, facebook, ebay, etsy, etc. Though personally may never meet some of these folks face to face it is truly a blessing to me that I at least get a chance to know them, even if it's through their blogs and a few comments back and forth!:) So now onto the day, my biggest goal of this year is to declutter, get rid of STUFF, and have more time to create art. Here's to a new year!

Inspiring Christmas song!

days are going way too fast

oh I can't keep up with things lately, the days seem to speed by with barely a dent on my to do list! Back to school clients has left me with little time to get done some important things that need to be done! Wish I could wave a magic wand and it all would change, more time, better organized, etc., etc. Until then I might be able to get by on 4 hours sleep! I really really hate disappointing people and my intentions are to always follow through and get it done just sometimes I let other things get in front of what I already had scheduled! Ok enough venting for the day, now time to get busy..........again.

Fairy swap

Ok let's try one with the picture the right way! lol

Fairy swap

So I love swaps, the people you meet, sharing art, creating something for someone to have in their home, etc, etc. This was a fun one hosted by the ever super funny positive Kai, her blog http://celebratingchristmasyearround.blogspot.com/ she is truly such a positive person, we need more like her in our world. So here is the paper fairy I made for my person Anita Edmonds her blog http://kirbanita.typepad.com/take_joy/ I hope she likes her fairy!! So this is the one I made
