Three ghosts & an art desk

How has your week been so far?

It's been pretty warm here,

 but the nights are nice..high 60's low 70's.

So I think my creative block is gone for now!

This is what I made this week:

Soon as I get a chance, 

I'm going to re-open my etsy shop and list

these little guys.

 .............................................................

Here's the picture of my desk..

I  feel so much better when things are organized.

 I'll post some more next time.

............................................................................

We went to watch 'The curse of La Llorona' a few days ago.

It's been out for a while already, 

but I enjoy going to the movies

 when there are less people in the theater.

 Do you have any plans for this weekend?

I plan on creating a few more paintings and 

starting a junk journal:)

Well,

It's almost 1a.m. & I think it's time for a nap,

talk to you later❤

 

 

This & That

Hello!!!

 I went thrifting on Saturday and found some things I'd like to show you.

First, I found this cute cardigan, $3

I thought this was a book when I saw it

but it turned out to be a jewelry box, $2

And OMG this!!!

It's twin size with no fading or loose yarn on it at all!!!

 

It was only $7!!!!!!!!!

I may use it in my Gypsy wagon, which I'm still working on by the way:)

This weekend, along with thrifting, I cleaned up my itty bitty studio

and found I have a few yard sale & thrift store finds.

This is a fruit basket, which I use for many many things,

 I just started hanging random treasures on it,

 like butterflies, fairies, cages, even necklaces and earrings.   

It was 99 cents.

The shelf directly behind it,

 holding the houses was purchased at the same time for two dollars.

 

This little cabinet is for CD's I think, but it's perfect for my paints, 

I got the idea from Anna at Frosted Petunia's

It cost $3. 

I should get going for now, my studio assistant is getting impatient for his dinner....

Have a great day, and I'll see you very soon!

blah blah blah

Did everyone have a fun holiday weekend?
I had a lot of things planned, starting with dusting and clearing out the shelves in my little studio:)

I love finding treasures stored at the back of the shelf, then forgotten, it's like a gift to yourself, lol!



I found a lot of my empty perfume bottles and cleaned them up...I always save them, sometimes I turn a few of them into dolls.(but that's another post)

my tiny inspiration board

everything was going according to plan...gorgeous sunsets perfect for barbeque's

brushes and pens were organized, clean canvases ready for anything, felt & yarn set to be turned into fantastical creatures...
and boom!



Nothing! I couldn't think of anything to paint or sew or keep my interest... not even reading or eating...

turns out I caught that nasty end-of-summer cold:(

So I spent the majority of the weekend here,

in my candy sprinkled bed, fluttering my iridescent blue wings gazing out at a luscious
full moon,

whilst reclining on a cupcake pillow.

right...

I guess that was the fever talking, But either way,
I'm feeling a little bit better now

and hopefully I'll have some goodies to share with you later this week.

See you soon,

Where Bloggers Create 2011

Hello!I'm so glad you stopped by today.
I'm joining in with Karen from My Desert Cottage for the third annual Where Bloggers Create party!!!

Not much has changed in here...

I love using shoe dividers to hold my artificial flowers and other bits & pieces.

We bought this wooden file cabinet at a yard sale for 5 dollars!


Glitter, ribbons, and beads.

I found this Kewpie at a yard sale under a pile of shoes.

This is my fruit and bones basket

Some of my jars...I have collected several more but I've been storing them in the gypsy wagon/camper

I love glass bowls, cups, and glasses.They're perfect for buttons and sequins.

This is a storage shelf for excess materials. There's a train case up here filled with rolled up felt sheets.

My yarns and some fabric fit in this shelf.

As you can see my studio is tiny!and not very fancy, but it serves it's purpose.
I don't have an inspiration or mood board, but I figure I don't need one, I just look around and feel inspired:)
I have everything within arm's reach, and if I feel like it, I can close the curtains and pretend I'm in a tent!

Thank you for stopping by and thank you to our hostess Karen!

Space

I don't have a very large home, or a lot of space to be creative in. But I'm driven, almost obsessed, with creating any kind of art. So i've managed to set up a little area for myself to do this. It's tiny, it's cluttered, but it will suffice.
It would be incredible to have a guest house for my own studio, or a large attic...even a medium sized basement ;), but I don't. So for now, this is my creative haven for the little creatures and canvases that crawl out of that moonlit-Halloween-carnival-tea party that is my mind.
