Farm chicks fun

Well it is over.

Farm chicks 2010.

It was my first, it was amazing

wonderful, exhilarating, exhausting

I took Hutch Studio to the public,

and the public gave their thumbs up.

There was young and hip,

older and wiser.   Cool, funky

farmy, and each and every person

 I met was charming and supportive.

Sunday, a lady said, " I was 

told to come to the cardboard booth

and check it out."  I have a reputation.

I met so many new

wonderful farm chick sisters.

I loved every moment of it.

Serena is sweet and kind, humble

and appreciative...

Therefore...I think she attracts

people who are kind and generous.

Today they told us 4700 people came

the first day.  I believe it.  My little space 

was full all day.   They liked the cardboard,

my art, hutch studio.  Many women told

me, they just liked being in the space.

I never once heard any negative comment.

Ladies and even the guys were just so

happy to be there.

Here are pictures of the booth.

I did not get to leave, because I was a 

lone soldier,  other than Saint Anne 

who helped me set up and brought me

lunch the first day.  Ladies  it isn't about 

the money....it is about being allowed to

live a life that is pure joy...to do what you

love....have it appreciated and the energy

to get up and get to it!

I can't wait for next year.

Art for Farm chicks

Here is some examples of

what I am taking to 

farm chicks.

These are unfinished

they still need text and framed.

Baby Sam is doing great.

He is eating, sleeping, pooping.

All good and adorable!

I have posted about how

much I love my roku that

alows me to watch netflix on

my tv.

My current favorite

is the show Glee.

I love Jane Lynch.  She is the funniest actress
ever!  I am working my way thru the first season
have 4th dvd coming monday from netflix!

I found this here at http://loveobsessinspire.typepad.com/

A great blog.

I love the colors and the tiny-ness
of this trailer.  Still dreaming of my
small space.  Working on getting rid of
more possessions and traveling lighter.

She is 12...getting

up there in years

And spring just keeps 

getting lovelier.

iphone on a walk thru

our neighborhood.

Sam Fisher is adapting

He is incredible. 

Mom and Dad are busy.

And Dad is in love.

He is the official diaper changer

rocker, hugger, kisser.

Mom has her hands full with just

feeding him, dad is there comforting

them both.  I am so proud of a son

who is such a gentle loving daddy.

Well...here he is.

The year of the tiger.

A Taurus.

A wondrous amazing and alert little soul

He  makes your heart melt.

Mama and grandma and aunties

 are in awe and in love.

His daddy has not had

that moment yet...I think

he is still in shock.  But he 

will have it...when he least

expects it.  When Sam recognizes 

him, smiles and locks into daddys heart.

...there will be the 

love intertwined and eternal.

I have talked about how much I love my Roku,

 that allows me to watch Netflix on my TV.

  My new favorite is the show Glee.

I am so in love with this show. 

Here is from one episode.  

This will make you cry.

I am busy working on the 

farm chicks show.  Try to

post some pictures of things

I will be bringing...for now

here is a hint.

We are building our booth

for the farm chicks show.

I have Julie helping me.

I did all this research on cardboard

furniture.  I want to build a cardboard

booth.  I need a booth that is light weight

and easily set up.  Here are some examples

of what you can do....

Friday evening we were enjoying some beautiful

northwest weather.  This giant, fluffy cloud

was just sitting in a blue evening sky.  It was 

beautiful.  Oh thank-you for a sunny weekend!

Clouds

We went to the nursery last weekend.

Found these hanging baskets of

alyssum.

But,

we put ours in pot,

right outside the bedroom.

We just happen to have a button

cover machine at work.

I have been racking my brain

to come up with ideas for covered

buttons.  Here is one.  

I painted on cotton and made

these ponytail holders.

8.00 at Hutch and etsy.

I am awake before the birds.

Well I am still getting up at 3:00 a.m.

I love those early morning hours.

Time just goes by so fast.

I am making stuff---I am making big messes.

These are hand painted cards with a necklace.

24.00 ea.

I love this.  Always looking for better

packaging.  I want to make it an easy gift.

Done, you don't have to do a thing, but

give to a special friend, or to you

because we all deserve a little treat

now and then.

These are very sweet....I love making them.

I am getting smaller

These paintings are either 1.5 x1.5 inches

or 2 x 2 inches.

I drew the illustrations to make

jewelry, but I just am not in the

mood to solder.  So I made 

little pictures.  All original art.

I made about 10 of them.

For sale at Hutch 

12.00 ea.

I put a couple on etsy.

Call Chris for more details.

This is just to much fun.

Here is another little watercolor.

One more post on the baby shower.

The shower was organized by Brens

sister and best friend.  I just provided the 

home.  But, I wanted to show Bren how

much we as her friends and family loved

her and her son...beyond the gifts there is more.

  We all held onto a balloon and wished to her our love

and support.  On the count of 3, we 

let go of our balloon, as they traveled

up into the heavens our love went

with them.  Our collective hearts

joined as one for the well being

for Bren and baby. 

For Brenda's baby shower

we kept the decor simple and 

sophisticated.  White balloon, 

white flowers.  I found 36" balloon

that were cooler than cool.  We fit

5 in the 63 bus.  The clerk at the 

balloon shop helped me carry them

out.  When she saw the van she did 

a little jump and a squeal and said,

"it's real".  When we drive around, seeing this bus

just makes people happy.  We get thumbs up, peace 

signs, and lots of smiles.  The windows in front

are called safari windows and they pop out.  It is 

like being in a convertible.

I have been oh so absent.

I have not been inspired to 

post.  I got caught up in having

a baby shower for my 

beautiful daughter-in-law.

I have been busy finishing the

fall line for bunnies and I have

been busy painting.

So...sorry.

I also got our etsy site set

up for Hutch Studio.

Here are a few of the items.

These are all 5 by 7 and 16.00 dollars.

I am so happy to paint and I feel 

like I am still in the learning mode.  

So these are inexpensive.  But I like

them.  Fun and simple.  Check out

our etsy site.  Hutch studio.

This is one of our very

best sellers at bunnies.

His name is Ittybit.

If you look on Amazon

he gets rave reviews.

Do you think this could be a long lost relative?

I have set up an Etsy store.

I only have a few items in there.

It is our Hutch site.

The etsy store is not perfect.

A few tweeks I need help with.

My goal is to take pictures of 

my little ditties and get them up

next week.  So keep checking

back...it can only get...oh so much better!

It's Easter

Well,

It is Easter weekend.

It snuck up on me.

I thought It was next weekend.

That is what happens when you

don't look at a calender

watch t.v. or read the news.

Happy Easter...
