Oh this is really bad!

Creative Madnest

Yes, I did mean to title this madnest instead of madness because my studio is my little nest of creative madness. After a week of being in an artistic frenzy, this is what I have to deal with. Soooo today I will put the  boxes back on the shelves, the Cds back in ABC order, paper back in files and then? I will run across all kinds of great stuff and mess it up again.  I will try to tidy up around the house since I have to go back to my real job tomorrow. Come on summer vacation!

Saved From the Blade

I love to make jewelry from antique tins. I get so excited when I stumble across a great tin at the flea market or antique store. These are a few that have been saved from the dremel. I just could not cut them up.

Twilight

I am a Twilight nut!!!!! So far I have only read each book once and seen the movie 3 times. I lost count how many times I have read each Potter book. I will reread Twilight as well. I made this necklace and am loving it! At the show Saturday someone wanted to buy it. I asked if they were a Twilight fan>They said no>I said no it's not for sale. You have to really LOVE Edward and Bella to get this puppy. I plan on making several more but each one will be uniquely different. 

Show Time

Time for shows to start up and I am very ready. I have redone a great cabinet I got at Revival Antiques and it is beautiful. Ornamentea had the ladies from Flotsam & Jetsam in the store with their great vintage odds and ends. I love the square buttons and the chicken tally cards. Not sure what a tally card is but I'm guessing it has something to do with playing cards. 

Come on spring!

We had another beautiful snow this week. I loved it but that's enough for me. I'm ready to open windows and do a deep cleaning. When it's cold I hibernate and have no energy. All I want to do is nap,read,knit and watch TV. Since TV is so bad these days it's hard to find anything worth watching. I have learned a lot about training my dogs and I must say my collie's (Zelda) behavior has been greatly improved. I also broke down and bought myself dark denim, slim leg ,crazy expensive jeans that really do fit. Thanks to Clinton and Stacey but I draw the line there. No dresses, suits or pointed toe shoes for this gal. Show season is around the corner and I have wasted so much studio time. In March I will look back and think" what was I doing for 2 months."It is going to be 65 - 70 degrees for the next several days so I'm ready to get out from under my blanket, put my book down and get moving.

We finally got snow ! It's been 4 years. Seven whole inches! That is a blizzard by NC standards. Two days off from school and lots of hot cocoa . Zelda really loves the snow. We had so much fun walking back in the swamp. It was beautiful.
