AMAZING Craft Boutique at FABMO!

WOW... what a wonderful turn out! After months of crafting, I'm pleased that I sold more than half my inventory!

Getting ready for my first craft fair!

I'm a nervous Nellie, prepping for my first craft fair next week. FABMO is the amazing organization that recycles designer samples so we may 'repurpose' them, rather than adding to the landfills!

Here's a peak at just a few of my items....

August flew by!

Dear friends... We're doing a happy dance here. After three months in the hospital and rehab, my son went home yesterday! He's a happy camper! Being a 'special needs' guy, recovery from a burst appendix took it's time. He's home now, and feeling so much better! Thanks for your love and support.


And... I've been working up a storm (don't we wish, here in the drought state of California!), and am currently working on my third fabric book. The first is a more 'traditional' (if there is such a category in fabric books) featuring fabulous 1950's women and the wonderful 'truths' they taught us!
Enjoy!

 (yes, I noticed my typo here, and have corrected it!)

It's been a while!

 Well, I'm back again. Family medical staff has really made a dent in my life. But I have been spending a lot of time alone in my studio.  Kind of a circling the wagons sort of deal. My adult son has been in the hospital for about 2 1/2 months. He's on the road to recovery, but being a special-needs guy, recovery has been slow  with many twists and turns. You'll be  back to his own home with the help of his caregivers, wheelchair hospital bed, etc. thanks for your good wishes and prayers.

Now here  are some samples of the work I've been doing. From  prayer flags to sacred covered journals, I hope you like what I've  created. You can see close-up pictures in my new Etsy shop: SweetBlessings1947.

And here are the prayer flags. All, by the way, are on sale in my new Etsy shop: SweetBlessings1947.

 This one, 'Be Peace', has already sold.

Nurture, Nourish, Refresh: Our Awesome Self-Care Retreat

It was an honor to co-facilitate this fabulous retreat last weekend. Joyce Leonard led deep Reiki style meditations focusing on the five elements. I taught both a journal making and 'Inner Spirit Doll' classes. Here are a few of the photos...

Catching up!

Wow... We're half way through Spring! I have to admit, when you don't see new postings from me for a while, it's because I'm in 'creating mode'!!

I got on a roll a few weeks ago and created 70 Garden Signs to sell in my shop! Then, I went on to bricks...
