hey friends! i know! it's been a little while since i have thrown out some of my ramblings @ ya! well...as my last post indicated...my sis and niece have been visiting. and since we had {2} years of catch up to do... the days have been zipping by @ an even faster than usual pace.
so it's been a wee bit mixed up around here. not that a reasonable amount of deviation from my routine is such a bad thing. infact i have really been enlightened in many aspects of livin'. take for instance seeing things differently from my talented niece's standpoint. she was hard @ work with the minimal amount of training i provided on metal stamping here {below}
she stamped out a number of fun things to give to friends as gifts. i even enlisted her talents to create some designs for patinaWHITE! a small peek @ those {below}. isn't the clock face amazing?? her idea 110%. brilliant girl!
another thing that was refreshing was having someone around me while collecting and creating wares for my lil business. usually time spent solo...having my sister around provided what we dubbed BOL moments. which is short for BURST OUT LOUD since our identically "bursts" of laughter would scare the pants off resting babies.
ty was snapping shots of me working {below}...oblivious to the silly antics of my big sis doing her take on "photobombing". if this term is new to you as it was to me...do a google search on "photobomb images"...you'll be BOL'ing before you know it.
some of the fruits of my labor after the rounds of BOL {here below}...
i plumped up my tags & initial inventory due in-part to the recent necklace creation that came about from one of my customers. {below}
it was a combo that wasn't intentional. she wanted a custom mommy cluster but i was lacking in selection of all the initials i offer. so she paired up a mis-match of letters & then used my new spacers to make one of my favorite customer creations to date! so much so that i replicated it for inspiration @ my cottage!
by the time this coming sunday rolls around & intime for another day @ the hollow...i hope to have my variety of baubles {below} filled & ready for your shopping pleasure!
visitors to my cottage will also spy another fun cluster i did using some of my usual key components in an unusual way. working that mixed up feeling into a new way of thinking! i love the casual, almost unplanned appearance that just "works"! {below}
there you have it! i hope you have enjoyed the mixed up creations that came about from inspirations from family and customers alike! so i am off to see where the mix up takes me next! who knows...maybe i will be photobombing some unsuspecting someone's picture taking! BOL! :)
make it a great day!
