I had to re-dye some canvas with hibiscus juice to get a brighter finish.

Happy with the results as they will be going with the weavings.

  

Also, just got the keys to our house on Monday.

It needs TLC and we won't be able to move in till next month.

I'm going to close this and this Sunday.

With the little one on the way and projects needing attention,

taking two months off.

And new things will arrive :^):-}

Still will be around, basically...

:)

Thank You

On it's way to Austrailia

Homeward bound

Off to the UK

Going to Los Angeles

Ancient Pocket Sale :)

In effort to make room for the new things on the horizon I'm putting both the shops on sale here using coupon code 2013NEWOCEANS and here where the prices are now reduced.  Hope you find something you love and will bring it home:)

*  Update:  Thanks MK hope you enjoy the goodies♡

Movement in Tangilble Ways

Things are and have been moving along.  It's been harder to post here but I'm doing my best.  We are in the process of purchasing an old little house here in town.  Which is new territory for me.  Also, discovered around X-mas time that we will be welcoming a new little one to our family.  Total surprises :)

Almost Short Wearing Season and A Sneak Peek

A song stuck in my head...

A sneak peak at 5 weavings that I made for a really great lady...   The weavings are small and will look slightly different from above when I'm completely finished.  Soon:)  A special note on the all black and white weaving (on the right) which was actually made by my husband based on the below paintings I did.  (My husband C deserves a shout out, he even helps me string my beaded necklaces!)

Been wanting to post this bathing suit I didn't buy at Ex-Op thrift.  Giving me warm summer vibes.

A few more photos of the trade I did with Lil.  So pleased with her backpacks!!! 

From her blog...  The cactus necklace I made for part of her trade and below is a photo I took of her package before I sent it off.   

Thank goodness for trades, it really is a treat when they happen, allowing me to connect with lovely folk... ^v^More to come on that☄☥♨

And lastly a sweet little desert photo from old Southwest magazines a friend Nancy gave to me here in town months ago.

And a photo from old farming (FarmWife) magazines C found a while back.  It feels good to be in this space again.

Here's to a good week.

Not so much time these days to bring new posts to the blog or tumblr.  But I'm still here, diligently finishing up a job I'm excited to share soon:)
