She loves to Paint !!

So I have returned from the awesomely amazing artnest !!! WOW words can not even begin to start to tell all the gratitude , amazing feelings that I hold in my heart from this wonderful event- I met the most AMAZING she's ever !!! My heart was filled with joy and laughter making new friends ......
I was reminded to dream big .....

I was given wings to take flight ..... to believe ...... and laugh and laugh
In Kelly Rae's class we painted and collaged , while most people painted Girls I went with painting houses .... someone asked me what inspires me to paint houses .... I am a cancer by birth and a homebody ... I love being at home with my hubby and kids and this is where my inspiration comes from I think ....

the world you live in heart of mine , deep in love , cheerful and happy !
I made that painting in Mati's class - and this in Miss Jane Wynn's class - she is every bit as wonderful in person , funky and fun !!

so as you can tell artnest was soo inspirational .... unfortunately i didn't have my camera with me but one of my roomies miss artsymama, Kari, did !! and she took some wonderful pics as well as many more wonderful shes - go here and here and here to read more about the event !

thanks as always for stopping in !!!!

she is sassy !!!

So I am heading off to artnest in Utah !! Yeah sooo excited - i have lots of new goodies for art night- but before I leave I thought I would show you my new do , i was ready for change and remember decluttering so I got a new haircut !! Mom told me it was sassy !!!
Here are some new sneaks of things I have been working on for the show .... guess what ? new rings all beaded and yummy !!!!
and new necklaces ........ with some vintage pieces .... I call this the Power of 10 - and a petite fleur ...... Well I wish all of you a great weekend ... until next time .. I will share the show when I return !!! xo, Beth

She flutters and declutters ....

I feel Spring in the air which may be why some of my new jewelry has taken on the Spring kind of feel..... My friend recently posted about being a flutterer where you jump around from thing to thing and I have to say I definitely fall into that category .... I always have at least 5 projects going on my tables and counters in my studio..... and have a hard time competing with what I am supposed to being doing and what I want to do .... its quite funny sometimes ..... I will forget where I set things because I flutter around so much .... like one tool will be buried and another tool somewhere else ... LOL!! I hope I am not the only one out there like this , hubby just shakes his head at me sometimes ....... but the good thing is I have began to DECLUTTER ... yes spring cleaning has begun for me trying to get organized and get rid of all the clutter I am no longer using ..... Its so refreshing ... like something new is blooming ... like these new necklaces

and earrings .... fresh and new ... like a lovely Spring day ..... and these will be available soon on my website ... until next time

she knows that LOVE is in the air !!

Can you feel it ? Its almost here... Valentines Day ... I love hearts .. when I was growing up I collected anything with hearts on it and teddy bears , I had a huge collection - what little girl doesn't love hearts ... but I was a little obsessed with them still to this day I love anything with a heart on it !!!

so I have been busy filling many orders and making lots of new things like these bracelets below for my shop and I have sooo many more lovely ideas if only i could find the time I tell you ... maybe someday ....
and I am dreaming about here ..... which i am attending again at the end of the month so I am busy making some new things too for the Artist Night .... just love the artnest girls, its definitely a retreat not to be missed !!! Hallmark Magazine is coming too and to hang out with Kelly Rae , Mati and Jane on top of it , Oh I just know it will be a ball !!!

until next time,

She found a new she !!!

So this weekend I headed out to the flea market I ran into sweet Tricia selling some things (which i couldn't pass up !) and then I went inside the big antique store ... I have never been here before so it took me awhile to make my way through the place .... i have been wanting another dress form for my shows so I have had my eye out for awhile ...... and as I rounded the corner I saw her ... she was even on sale ( sorry i only have the one photo of her above but I will be showing you much more soon ) she is a full dressform with wire cage on the bottom - and the price was a steal !!
Also I have been working on more of these now available in cream with luscious citrine drops and vintage rhinestones - these are wonderful since they can be worn as a bracelet or a necklace

and since I heard that green is the new black I have been working on adding some green jewelry to my collections-
On super bowl sunday I took some time out to update my photo from my photoshoot with the lovely Becky Novacek !!! and I changed my blog banner !! Hope you like it !!!
I also want to thank you all for your sweet comments on being published in Artful Blogging , without all your support I wouldn't have my blog and the confidence to have continued my journey - i do love being a SHE and this wonderful blogging community of friends I have made!!!! So always DREAM BIG girls , always!!!!!!!!!
