Busy as a Bee

Hello strangers! I have been so absent from blog land lately, due to my "busy as a bee" schedule, and I must admit that I am really feeling it. I am looking forward to a little down time in the next couple of weeks, so that I can just spend hours lurking blogs and catching up on what is going on in your lives.

Last time I blogged, I told you that my M-I-L was coming into town. Well, that went pretty well actually. She even helped me paint the boxes I've been making for the class I'm teaching in L.A. this weekend. I will admit that I am thankful :-)

Speaking of those boxes. Here's a picture of them and their lids. I had to make 40+! The hubby helped me. Again, I am thankful :-)

 

 

 

Whew! That was a JOB! I have no desire to make anymore boxes in the near future Or cut molding!

These last few days since finishing the boxes have been spent creating more inventory to haul to L.A. to sell. You can only make so many mosaics in 3 days, so my table in L.A. will be a bit sparse, but there will be Good stuff! :-)

This whole month of May has been spent working really long hours, which means no time for cleaning the studio. I thought I'd share a little bit of my creative disaster area with you. I warn you, it is bad.

 

 

 

That's just a smidgen of the madness going on in there. Be glad I didn't show you the floor! LOL! My hubby comes in and just shakes his head. Being a Type A personality, he just doesn't get it. (sigh) You should have seen my M-I-L's face when she walked in there. (giggle) She's Type A too.

Well, that's all for now. It's off to L.A. this weekend and then on to Louisiana the next week. I'll check in between those two trips.

Happy Day to ya!!

Hugs!

Michelle

p.s. I am having some serious difficulties with my Typepad. I cannot leave a comment on non-typepad blogs unless I use my Yahoo sign-in, which I then have to link to my Typepad. Anyone experiencing problems with this?? They said they are researching the problem, but it's taking a long time.

Party at Maija's House

Okay, it wasn't really a party. Just a few crafty chicas getting together and having FUN!

The Lovely Maijia

 

In the following several pics there is Julie, Tricia, Deb, Sherry, Mary, Maija, Joy, Jessi(from Domestic Bliss) and myself. I think these pictures show that we were having a really good time :-)  We talked, we laughed, we danced (no kidding), we piled on top of each other for group pictures (WTH?) LOL! A really good time was had by all! Thank you Miss Maija!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is Maija's studio! Wowsa!!! I wanted to start digging through her stuff. Awesome I tell ya!

 

 

 

Maija is not only lovely, but so is her house. She has Art everywhere!! I wish I would have taken more pictures, but I think I was just lost in amazement.

 

 

 

Well, that's all for this post. My M-I-L is flying in for a visit today. :-/ She will be here for 4 days. I've been cleaning like a maniac and also trying to get ready for my class that I will be teaching at Artistic Affaire in L.A. on the 30th. Can you say burning the candle at both ends??? I'm going to need a vacation soon! Wish me luck today

Hugs!

FUN ~ FUN ~ FUN!!!!

A BIG THANKS to everyone who came to my booth (old friends and new). Your support means the world to me. I hope you all enjoy your mosaic purchases!!!!! :-)

The Domestic Bliss Bohemian Soiree is now behind me and not only was it a huge success, but it was loads of FUN! Yeah, it was hotter than hell, but no one seemed to mind too much. Lots of people showed up for the evening event and everyone was dressed in their own idea of Bohemian style. Here is my outfit for the evening (picture stolen from Tricia). I think I was talking while she was shooting.

I made those jeans the day before the event. My kids were like "are you really going to wear those?" Yes, I am and did and they were a big hit. So, Ha!  They said Mosaic Queen on the butt :-)

Here's me and Tricia. Our booths always seem to end up being next to each other. I'm glad.

 

Here's my Rock~Star friend Maija. She didn't have a booth, but she sure has a lot of friends :-)

 

This is my new gal pal Mary Smilove. Her and I became fast friends and I see a lot more get togethers in our future.

 

This is Jessi. She works for Domestic Bliss. She is just the cutest chica ever!!! Her costumes day 1 and 2 were the BEST!!!! Oh, and she has the sweetest son named Austin who came to my booth to buy his mommy a mosaic necklace. He was also so helpful to everyone during the event. You did good mommy Jessi!

 

Here are a few random pics of the event

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

My sweet daughters who came to help.

 

After 2 sweaty days of work and fun, a bunch of us met at Maija's house for more FUN. To be continued........

Mosaic Cupcake makes tv debut

How fun! One of my mosaic cupcakes was on a local show called Sonoran Living. Kristin, co-owner of Domestic Bliss and hostess with the mostest for the upcoming and highly anticipated Bohemian Bash was on the show. She showed off some of the items that artists and boutiques will be selling during the event and talked about the home tour that will also be taking place as well.

Have a Fabulous weekend!!!
