Earthly Happenings...

I will be at the Cape Ann Farmer's Market today at Stage Fort Park from 3 to 6:30...

Here is a little peek of the studio and what I have been working on:

Also, there are some new reversible crocheted stone necklaces in the shop!

Watercolors Preview

Today started out a bit on the crazy side.

My adrenalin was running pretty rapid.

But the day got better...

I snapped a few shots from around the house,

like these pinecones waiting to be decorated with peanut butter and seeds and then hung for the little birds outside.

This is one of Andy's tiny faery scenes that he creates.

They are so amazing.

Created from things found in nature, with a tiny, hand built acorn cabin and walkway lined with little crystals...

If I were a little faery, I would live here!

Today (finally) I went to get some of my watercolors made into prints.

I plan of listing them in the shop,

so make sure to keep an eye out.

I am hoping to get them in tomorrow and Wednesday.

Let me tell you,

I have never done this before and trying to explain what I was looking for to different print shops was slightly exhausting!

But I think I am happy with the outcome other than the fact that I am a terrible critic of my own work and have already picked out all the flaws...

Anyway, here is a little preview of what I will be adding to the shop.

They are much nicer in person, but the the photos are the best (night time, you know?)

Hope they do well!

A peak at what I have been working on...

So along with making the hula hoops, I have been working on some Nuno Felted Wraps.

I have been trying to get my stock up for a gallery that wants some when they open back up in March...

I also want to have some to post in my Etsy Shop.

Luckily I had a store in Ipswich called Luna Tuna buy a whole bunch of hoops and felted wraps, so I have to get busy making some more!

So here are a couple of photos of what they are...

(I had a little bit of a fit the other day after taking the pictures because most of them came out horribly and don't give a good idea of what I make. Sigh... But luckily there are a small handful that came out nicely!)

Thanks for taking a look!

What have you all been up to?

...Love...

A sneak peak at what I have been working on (will be posting in my etsy shop soon as I've got internet again!)... Again sorry this is in so many posts! I can only send one picture at a time!

Today, tomorrow and next week...

Check it out... I am attempting to "twitter"... Oh, yeah, and...

Next week is my Birthday... YAY!!!

...And for that, I am very excited to say, that starting tomorrow I am taking a break and going skiing/snowboarding with my sistah (thats how its said here in Glawstah, aka Gloucester), whom with which I have not been in oh, say 10 years or more. I am fully celebrating myself this year!

~~~

I always say that I want to, I want to do this for my birthday and I want to do that for my birthday, but it never comes to fruition (thanks to my indecisive personality flaw). So this year, Myself and a bunch of fancy free friends are going LASER BOWLING!!! I think it will be fun, I love bowling even though I am completely terrible, it should still be incredibly fun and I am totally excited!

...Anyhoo...

I am very excited to go and although I am admittedly feeling a bit anxious about being away from my crafting supplies for 4 days...

No worries though! I won't be going empty handed!

I will be fully equipped with crafty entertainment!

...

(not to mention my basket of fibers that are coming for the trip, they are all sprawled out across the floor in the other room at the moment and, so, did not make it into the photo line up)...

I am very excited though, I feel like this trip and the energy of the day of my birth are leading my motivation. And, after all is said and done, I am going to be getting myself organized

(a project which I have already started)

and start posting some new little creatures, some of which would be wonderful for

Valentine's Day

(which is coming faster than I can keep up with!)

~~~

In keeping with the goal of being organized, I will slowly be starting to move my current etsy shop (www.sweetsparrowstudio.etsy.com) to my newly acquired etsy shop:

...

www.littleowlarts.etsy.com

...

(see, organized, all names matching up, easier to remember and to find!)

I thought it was about time that everything was organized and easy to find, so everything relating to me and my artistry will also be connected to little owl arts.

~~~

So YAY! for birthdays and the energy of the Universe which seemingly spins in cycles and for the tides of the moon pulling me this way and that showing me which directions to go.

~~~

And so these two lovely, little owls are totally in love and are also a little SNEAK PEAK of the loving little hoots that will be dawned in my etsy shop next week! Let me know what you think!

Thanks for stopping by!
