While Everyone Is Going Crazy This Week Getting Ready For The Blog Party I Am...

Not.
The last couple of weeks
have been a little
crazy for so many of my blog
friends.
You all are getting ready for the Where Blogger  Create
Party on Friday
Cleaning your studio's
re-arranging
I know this because my dear
partner at Junkin Gypsies-Jill
Has re-done her own studio space
how many times this week?
I feel kinda free
Here I sit in my own messy-chaotic studio
cup of coffee at hand
playing
Sorry
I would of dearly loved to take part
this year...but just did not
need the extra stress.
My own folks have had a really tough year
needing help a bit more and more
A big party camp out  on the family farm in a week
so much to do getting that ready
It would of been fun..but not this year.
Sigh
I will enjoy visiting all my friends studio's
oooing and aaahing
So many ideas I want to incorporate into this space
Jill's fantastic lamp (tee hee-just wait)
Moving my Great Grandmothers reading
chair into here
Hunting for a maniquin I can tuck into the corner
with all my vintage jewelry

Anyway
Things I have been working on




I did some Tea Staining this week
have not done that in years
dying and staining fabrics with natural elements
was something I played around with many years ago
it is a lot of fun and the results are so satisfying
After the fabric was done I just had to put together
a little collection full of things
I have found in the last few estate sale foray's
The Humming Bird box and it's collection has
 ended up in my Etsy store.


And we have my newest Domino
Pendant and crystal chain necklace
coming to the Junkin Gypsies Etsy store this week
This one has vintage German scrap roses
Vintage rhinestones...and one of my hand crafted chains
So
That is what I have been up to-instead of cleaning and
re-doing my studio.
I am so looking forward to popping in and
seeing all of you Friday

  2. LeMay,
    Love your new creations! Yes, you are smart by forgoing the party, but I just have to do it! It's a great chance to get everything organized and I'd love to be published in "Where Women Create". I know the odds are small but I still have to try....:). It's so much fun checking out everyone's spaces...I'm off to check out your new Etsy listings.....:).
