Sunday Fun

Hi, hope everyone had a great weekend. I am kinda sad to see it end. I had some fun today making ornaments. Pictures aren't great but you get the idea.

Yuletinsils

I hope Everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm going to the shop for a while to help with black Friday. Have fun if you go shopping. Here is a recent project I just completed. Vintage spoons with vintage trim made into ornaments. They are called yuletinsils.

Its a New day.....

Hi everyone, if you haven't stopped by Ozarks, you should. It looks amazing. Here are a few pictures to inspire you.

Holidays are Here!

I have been sooo busy with work. It has been difficult to create all the ideas overflowing in my head. Here are a few overdue photos of some recent projects.

First Friday

Hi everyone. Ive been busy, busy! I have been creating little beauties in the craft room. I put together some fun images and glass glitter, tags etc....shoved it all in a bottle. I think it looks great. I call them ancestor bottles. I have also been playing around with collage, fun paper, and images...I love em." Tonight is First Friday at Ozarks. Hope to see ya there.

Feeling Blue Today.

Today has been a beautiful fall day. For some reason I am feeling down. I guess every day can't be smiles for this girl. I am happy a lot so feeling sad is well, sad. I feel achy and teary and pretty much out of energy. Sometimes I guess you have to ride out the emotional roller coaster. The trees are changing color and there is a crispness in the air. I am feeling better tonight. I painted a little today, and have some fun projects rolling around in my head. I will be putting a great 3 drawer dresser in the shop soon, wonderful dovetail detailing all wood. I sanded and repainted it of course. Send happy thoughts to me, Ciao

Feels like Fall....

I am enjoying the sun peeking in & out today as I work in the craft room. I love mixed media art. Mixed media art is fun, there are no rules. No rules means no mistakes! I will be taking these mixed media canvases to Ozarks the large one is titled Pink Witch, the smaller one is the raven. The raven has an old bottle attached to the canvas, inside is a part of the poem" The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. These canvases incorporate paper, rub on transfer, pigment ink, and Beeswax. Have a great week, stacey

Cowboy bibs ...so cute. These wonderful items are inspired by my dad, he likes to have a napkin tucked into his shirt when he eats. No more mess, when you chow down....available at Ozarks for $10.00 Bon appetite!

Work It Girl!

Oh my gosh, Saturday I had the best day! I started work at Ozarks in Anchorage. Ozarks is the cutest shop, a little glam, some hip.....kinda like Donny and Marie..a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. I made some tassels out of vintage salt shakers, so cute. I'll post pictures later. I work again today and will be taking more goodies to sell. I am working on a project inspired by my dad. Flour sack towel bibs, with vintage images of cowboys on them. Chow down with no worries, just use your cowboy bib! So fun! Ive gotta scoot...have a great day....

New Day

OH my Gosh! My dream job....today I start work at Ozarks, in Anchorage Alaska. I am so excited! They have a great website. I made some cute decorative tassels out of vintage salt shakers to sell. The salt shakers are all vintage from around the 1940's -1960's, I made the tassel skirt out of some great vintage findings from my great grandmothers sewing stash, she was a seamstress and hat maker. Thats her in my Blog header, sitting in Ryan Oklahoma back in the 1913 -1919's sometime around then. I used some new embellishments as well. I anticipate a fun day...cant wait!

Hi to all. I am a girl living in the North, waiting for summer to show up. I love to create and paint, garden and antique shop, any kind of shopping will do really. sometimes I wear a tiara at work. I am lucky to be surrounded by the most amazing friends and family members. Today is July 4th 2010. I really wanted to do something.....anything today, my husband drove us to a place called flat top mountain. We walked out on a viewing deck that overlooked Anchorage. Placed in the railing was a single red rose. I wonder who the rose was for? It felt like a sad story, maybe a lost love. It is a cold and rainy day. I wonder when summer will show up?
