CRAFTY CAT AT IT YET, AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!



My daughter made a covered wagon.It was for her class project in school.I was pretty busy the day she worked on it so her big sister assisted her.When she brought it home she left it sitting out.Sure enough that troublesome Crafty Cat found a way to get inside the wagon and get comfy.Can you believe it???
Theres more.........


Crafty Cat has influenced the Gray Wonder, who thinks it's o.k. to take a nap in the wagon.As you can see the project was made out of paper and cardboard,therefore with the weight added has given it a flat tire :0)

Tune in next time for more adventures of Crafty Cat ........... ♥♥♥

I am starting a section in my Etsy shop to clear out some inventory.I am going to add reduced priced items so I can start creating all new stuff :0)
I will be adding more items daily, Stop and SAVE.
Have a GREAT DAY !!!!

*** MMD OPen House ***
Day 1

Yesterday was the first day of my openhouse.As I always say,"It's always a surprise who shows up to these things".Two of my good friends were here, as well as a vendor friend I met this year,my daughters teacher,my husbands coworker,and a few other random people.And they all came at different points in the day,which was nice because I was able to have nice conversations with each of them :0) Some times it seems like you get busy all at once.I had a little time in between guests and worked on sorting my gift closet.The holiday is getting closer and closer.Time to start wrapping BLAH !!!!
Wish me luck today !!!!!!!
Oh yeah,this cute zippy can be found in my etsy shop

Happy Holidays !!!!!!!!

*** Annual Open House tomorrow ***


And I am not getting enough done.I NEED to clean,set up my display,cook and bake cookies.Blahhhh,I know its worth the effort but it seems like a lot of work.
I already disassembled my sewing area and took it down to my room,set up the christmas tree(I do need to put up some more festive decorations),and did some surface cleaning.
I can't wait to see who all shows up.Its always a surprise !!!
I sent out a bunch of my new postcards for my invitations.I invite some of the artist and customers that I have met at shows,people I see on a regular basis,long time friends and a few other people I have had contact with but never met in person.I hope I remembered everyone ??
It's nice to invite them into my home/studio and visit with them during this time of year.I have a few of my newest designs made up.I'm sure they will be a hit.
Wish Me Luck !!!!!

***** Columbus Museum Of Art *****

October is Breast Cancer awareness month.
I made this bag for a very special lady who is fighting the fight!
I had this idea to make this PINK and to give the seahorse a breast cancer ribbon but i did it with sequins ala' Mary Moon.
I wanted to make her something beautiful, something as beautiful as her even as she fights such an ugly disease, she still has such an upbeat and positive attitude, an advocate for the cause and a true inspiration.
I put much love and prayers into this bag , it is truly an OOAK for a OOAK person.
H.P. much love and prayers to you and your family always!
Celebrate your Life!

My BFF Jill Corena.She is wearing a pair of her awesome altered jeans.I got the skirt i'm wearing from one of the vendors at The Riverfront Arts Festival .There were a lot of great artist at the show.

My daughter made this beautiful picture at the Clintonville Arts and Music Festival.She is going to have picture day soon.She's miising her two front teeth.She says all she wants for picture day Is her two front teeth.

My cat is a real pest.I have four cats but this one is a real goofball.
These photos are just a small sample of the trouble it gets in to.

Two Stars at Craftin' Outlaws

This is my collection of backpacks I created this week.I have sold all of the ones I made and had to get to work on making new ones.I'm glad there done :0)
Just in time for the Craftin' Outlaws show this weekend.

We went to Lakeside ,Ohio this past weekend.We did a three day show.This was our view from our booth.It was a very beautiful and sunny weekend.We had a very nice time.It was a very relaxing enviroment and it was nice to get away for a few days.

Thank you Corena!!!!!!! It would have been a long weekend without you.I had a BLAST!!!!!!Thanks for hangin' out with me. WTF IDK OMG Your my BFF Jill.

Happy Comfest!!!!!The festival starts in two days.We are very excited!!! :0)

This is a preview of my youngest daughters art work.She will be setting up shop in the corner of my booth.She has been working hard on her pieces.Not bad for a seven year old.This is a preview of my new wall decorations.I'm putting on the final touch in the photo.I only made fouteen new ones for the show.I spent most of my time sewing up a ton of bags and purses.I'll have to get back to work on my wall decorations before the next show(July 12 and 13).

My youngest daughter is always working on something.She makes cards and books and other stuff.She is very creative and talented.She made me this sign the other day.The "M" is made out of skewers and the other letters were cut out of paper.She is so cute!!

Sucker Tree

My daughter had to do a project for her class.My husband put 64 holes in a piece of tree trunk.Then she put the lollipops in the holes.

I thought it was cute.

My Owl screen and transfered image

We went to the Columbus Museum Of Art today.On Saturdays they offer kids art

for familys ,make and take.This month they have screen printing,something I have not tried before.It was fun and rewarding.My husband made one also.A present for his mother on Mothers Day.It was cool,after you made your pattern you put it on a canvas tote.I'm going back next week;0)

Lot's of Ice please/

My friend Merry(blueplanet creations) made this cute dress for me.Today was the first time I got to wear it. I bought the perfect necklace in the Phillippines to go with it. I am losing my tan! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5054214

This is my newest tattoo .I had it done on my vacation in the Philippines.I went to the mall the night before I left.The guy who did it was only 20 years old and very talented.He warned me that the top of the foot is the most painful place to get a tattoo.I did it anyway . I didn't think it was that bad.It is my 4th tattoo and I think the one on my front shoulder hurt the worst. I will admit that my foot did swell up for 3 days and it was most uncomfortable on that 26 hour plane ride.Not to mention I dropped my hand carry on my foot,OUCH!!!!!!
The significance of the sea turtle = they live a long life and my goal is to do the same!

I had the most incredible vacation ever and it was for a whole month.I went to the Philippines to seek out my roots and grab some sun.This is a pic of me my mom and my youngest daughter ,Sela. If you know me,you know I live for summer, so I didn't complain about the 95 degree weather. I only went one other time when I was eleven and I really wanted to revisit the country and visit family through my adult eyes. The food was SARAP ( meaning = delicious) . My cousins were the coolest and I would go back in a heartbeat!

Who Me??????????

Messy Messy Hands

My daughters class is going to make masks.Me and my husband volunteered to help the kids paper mache the balloons.I'm really looking forward to seeing what they create.

Here is my latest creation that I recently put in my ETSY shop.Pretty awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
