Dear Family & Friends....

.....it's been a while...since my last post....

Lot's of changes....

But, in case you were wondering...I am STILL here creating!

I have had to put my travelling shows on hold temporarily...but 

StudioBeeCreations

is still up & running...and the BeeHive is a buzz!

I am currently concentrating on studio work...submitting for publications and design team calls....and of course, my etsy shop!

My blog appearance needs a little work...and I am hoping there is someone out there who can help me/advise how to tweek my appearance.

In the meantime...please keep watching my little shop updates...and see me on  facebook @ StudioBeeCreations!

I am also looking for some artsy gift shoppes that would be interested in carrying my mixed media designs. Please pass along my linky-do if you know of anyone !.....Thanks!!

Door closed...OPEN window!!!

sooooooo.....it happened again...

another rejection...

 

BUT...I am looking towards the Open Window...and pressing on!

 

I have some projects up my sleeve(that's a hint!)...that I am working on to submit for publication...with the ever present encouragement from family & friends!

 

Going Forward...with the example of sweet friend Alexa Lett  (well known author, and fantastic artsy-craftsy merchant)..leading me toward that said "open window"...I will continue my quest (cue music...any music..I love to sing).

Working on some canvases, art blocks and assorted mixed media yumminess!

Have a SUPERB day!!

Oh....and it feels really...REALLY good!

 

I was able to travel to a show back in Tennessee(where we moved from 2 years ago) to participate in The Hayloft Barn Sale in Clarksville....WOW! what a wonderful venue!...met some new "junk friends"....and got to see some good old friends from our 17 years in Tennessee.

 

This pic was taken by the sweet folk of Folk Magazine

Home again...home again...Jiggity Jig!!

Soooooooooooo...I travelled to Atlanta to particpate in

The Revival of Vintage show at The Goat Farm!

 

It was absolutely awesome...being "back in the saddle again"...on the road doing a show!

***but...by myself...I really missed my hubby!***

I met up with some wonderful vendors...Alexa Lett   who has been so very wonderful, and encouraging to me, since I met her at the show last fall.....and also Kristen & Evie from

Ella Marie Clothing ....who, without them, I would still be packing up!...lol

 

 

 

Now.....I am getting ready for my NEXT adventure...The Hayloft Barn Sale show in Clarksville, Tn

...I am over-the-top excited to be able to see some old friends from when we lived in Tennessee!

**************************

Speaking of  friends....over the weekend, I was able to meet up with a sweet childhood (teenage years) friend whom I graduated high school with!...seeing Sadie after all these years was sooooo awesome!!!....my only regret is that we did not get a snapshot taken of us together!....maybe next time?

Tomorrow...I am back to the "regular" job...but counting down the days for  the next show!

Making applications online is  MUCH easier nowadays....we've come a LONG way baby!

 

.....until next time!

So......for some yummy SpRiNgTiMe inspiration:

 

I scored a box of VINTAGE wooden hangers at GW....my NEW GW that is just a mile from my house...loveeeeee....

 



 

Most of them had Mr. Fred Epting sharpied (is that a word) on them.....half were this type of suit/pants hangers...the other 1/2 were the spring load/clampy ones (no before pic!...sorry)

 

and sooooooooooooooo.......

 

I made up a huge assortment of DOUBLE-SIDED (kinda like a two-fer...gotta love that!) hangers that can be for displaying art...photos.....or even scrapbook pages (out of the books that no-one takes out to look at)....

 

They can be changed out so very easily...hang them around the house....one side has wordage..the other, assorted vintagey fun....

 

 

 

I used my ENDLESS supply stash of scrapbook papers...and applied with my FAVORITE medium of ModPodge....some assorted paints...and embellies....using what I have!

 

Hope you have enjoyed the hop so far!...scroll back up to the top...and visit the rest of our

 Spring Team!!!!

 

Have a super blessed day!

FLOWER POWER

 

What's this?...Well...actually something I have had sitting in one of my MANY "todo"

baskets for a few years....just waiting....and waiting.... for THIS:

 

OH MY GOODNESS!!!...such YUMMYNESS!!!!

...and a blast from the past!...a long, lost art of straw flowers!

From what I have read...these were creations made by women entrepeneurs from back in the 1960's.

I purchased a "kit" from Cathy Callahan several years ago....and because I bingbingbing thru many assorted crafts and mediums, it sat.......until NOW!

Getting back into the show circuit this year....I am already signed up for TWO awesome shows!!!

Revival Vintage Marketplace and Bella Rustica

both of which I am doing with my junk gypsy friend Wanda/The Grapevine Marketplace

AND........

my plan to build UP my etsy shop StudioBeeCreations is actually going to happen!

These sweet flowers...along with my mixed media canvases and paperdoll ARTBLOCKS...and MORE will be loaded into the shop SOON!!! Sooooo, if you cannot make it to the shows...be sure to shop ETSY...for handcrafted...homemade goodness...from the heart.

 

Now........what to do with the "leftovers"????....sigh...I cannot throw anything away!

 

Oh...I have an idea.......
