Stencil 1 does IT Again!!

From the fabulous mind of Ed Roth, once again I am floored by the new designs from Stencil 1!! Barn owls, chandeliers, octupi, russian nesting dolls!!! The visions I have of new curtains for my office, some new t shirts, a few new sack towels for the kitchen. Oh thank you Ed!! Time to get my hands inky again!!

 Oh, and did I mention all of the new two pass stencils? Like the ol' favorite deer with Antlers!! How hot is this going to look? hands are starting to itch with anticipation..:)

Going Gabby La La

I will be debuting the little Gabby pieces at her upcoming album release party/concert! February 18th at the Mystic, in downtown Petaluma. Here are a few sneak peeks at the goodies to come!

Dr. Goodfeelings

Dr. Goodfeelings-The Cure for any Dull Craft Project!

Phew..just under the wire. I will have a new post for the first month of 2011! In an effort to have an source of income, and dust some of the cobwebs off of my butt..I have listed my line of Dr. Goodfeelings Miracle Craft Supplies. I travelled with these last year to numerous shows and the reponse was great! So, time to stop hiding them in my office..Sell, babys, sell!

This is real german glass glitter, made from real glass! The sparkle and shine is astounding! They are like little bottles of jewels..Add to a little bit of glitter for some real kablow bling! There are seven colors to choose from;

Ruby Red
Copper Cobana
Gold Delicious
Minty Mojito
Ah Qua Blue
Ultra Violet
Starling Silver

Each bottle contains approximately 1 1/2 ounces of sterling coated glittery goodness! Check out my Etsy shop or convo me for more information!!

A Thankful '10

In one picture, I would just like to say a big thank you to all of my friends, new and old, my family and to every good hearted soul out there. This world needs all the beautiful hearted people it can hold. I look forward to a warm and fulfilled 2011...e

There's no Globe like a Snowglobe

A few last minute nifty gifties for the family..hopefully they won't be reading this post! A few glass vials, some plastic miniatures, water, glycerin, glitter and eggshells. Voila..handmade snowglobes, cause it can be fun to shake!

You may have noticed my blogging this year was on a downward spiral. I've noticed that I have less impetus to share, now that my sister is living back here in California. I think I used this blog as a pictorial enticement to bring her back from Chicago. Now that she's here..I don't know. I guess I'm feeling a little like I don't know what I'm blogging for. Not to mention that I've also been trying to get in touch with my artistic side..because I feel like crafting is one thing..art is another. Not that the two don't meet..they absolutely do. But I've been wanting to paint more. sculpt. produce. produce. I thank anybody who has stuck around and read through my identity crisis..I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store...

Winter blues and greens

Oh the really busy season is quickly approaching..I feel like I've been all about being busy with shows this year, but it's really the only thing I've got going on right now..bear with me. I've been working on this years christmas ornaments. Last year I made cutie little circle dioramas out of paper towel rolls. I've upgraded this year to these miniature cheese domes;

 

 

I'll have a bunch of these for sale this thursday at the San Francisco Etsy street team event at the Shawna Stoney Showroom on Kansas St at 17th....

and speaking of upcoming events..the Petaluma Downtown Craft Mart is back and hosting this years Holiday Crafterino!

 

Just like last year, we will be throwing this show at the Petaluma Hotel, right smack dab downtown Petaluma. We will also be handing out gift bags to the first 50 attendees..so much schwag you won't believe it! and we have a lot of the same returning, fabulous vendors as well as some funky fresh faces!! It's the sunday after Thanksgiving, and again just like last year all of our door and raffle sales go to benefit COTS. 

and just in case you missed it, here's a video from Petaluma Pete of last years fete;
