WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY NEW ... "EEK !"...?

EEK !...Trying to bring in the Autumn season without the traditional colors can be a challenge...Ordered these letters from an "Upper Case Living" party and decided to put them on the outside of the glass frame...leaves me the option of changing the background easily that way. The cracked wood is really scrapbooking paper!!!...




I made a few tags ....added some ribbon and fun yarn to dress up the white pumpkins Mr. Wonderful found ...






Now that was a fun afternoon!!!!... We're supposed to go below 20 degrees tonight!
EEK !... EEK !... EEK!... , xoxo~Kathy

HONEY...HOW CAN YOU WORK IN THIS MESS?...

I must admit...it is a mess at first glance....BUT!, I know where everything is...doesn't that count for anything!!!!... My sewing room is very neat...the mixed media room is very neat!...
Sometimes creativity is a mess! ahh....messy Bliss!
Italian glass....I love it...
Because it behaves well...and does what I tell it !!!

Okay....I'll admit...this does look a LITTLE messy... see my torch? I love my torch...I like fire...

but...doesn't it make you want to reach out and touch ...the colors, the cool feeling of glass on your fingers....

This is where I've been hiding of late....working....getting ready...




I think Mr. "How can you work in this mess" is just a little upset because this room used to be where he made "Golf Clubs"....now he's been moved to the Garage.....What can I say????
"I'll make him some cookies"....he'll be fine!...Happy Monday , xoxo~Kathy

DREAMY...DELICIOUS...DELICATE...VINTAGE...LACE...

As I'm working on tags today for an upcoming jewelry show....I gazed around the room and stopped to consider how many beautiful little vintage and not so vintage dresses I have displayed around my studio for inspiration....Certainly don't want to be accused of being selfish...so I thought I should share with my friends.....It's a little overcast today but I think it makes the photos look just a little dreamy....Hope your inspired a bit too....

Not a dress, but sooo sheer and lacy, found at the GW....looks airy hanging in front of sheers...














This one was a flower girl dress, ( above)...I made for one of the grands...








found these two at a yard sale...this summer!...















Have a vintage Monday evening....xoxo~Kathy

These are cousins...they live on opposite sides of the state...I'm sure it's the last of the beach days for this summer...Is this not priceless...they love playing together...Oh, that the world could see itself through the eyes of children...
