gourds

Ana Roberts gourds are back! She does such a great job, I can't wait to see what designs she comes up with this year. She makes a wide assortment of large gourds like- Santa and Mrs. Claus, sugarplum fairies,(pictured above, she has the cutest wire wings on her back you can't see in this picture) snowmen, and elves. She makes smaller gourd ornaments as well, Santa and snowmen... great for gifts or a little treat for your own house.

A little bird whispered in my ear...

Hey Colett,I heard that your paintings are better than ever for the Beehive Bazaar!

Which should I choose?

Kanani's vinylicious designs are looking so good this year! Can't wait to see what she dreams up next.

It's going to be a groovy Christmas!

Tonya is whipping up some new Christmas stockings and tree skirts. Fun,fun vintage fabrics. One of a kind.

Lovin' from the oven

Sink your teeth into these! Yum.

a few new purses from noelle o designs

Every purses is fully lined, has a magnetic snap closure and two pockets. One is the pockets is generally smaller- for a cell phone, and the other is larger with a slot for a pen.



I have been playing around with some new-ish ideas for purses and eating way too much Halloween candy...

a new medium for molly

painting, what? oh i don't know, we will see. i get board easy. nothing really compares to cutting up small pieces of paper and mod podging them to something spectacular.

molly+morrissey+craft=bliss

if you are wondering... no, this is not the morrissey t-shirt my fearless husband fought off hords of fans for. that one is a new center piece in my craft room and smells quite lovely.
-----while the kids are trick-o-treating, i craft.

michelle call's fine wears

bee creative...

a cool graphic I came across, thank you Hailey!

back at work

It's been a crazy beautiful summer, but now it's time to get back to craft'n. Here is my work space, I just got these drawer and box inserts for my IKEA Expedit shelves- I love the perfect fit.
Ahh, my new smaller Expedit shelf, I love the cubbies for organizing fabric, books and all the other stuff that piles up..

Things are a little messy, I've got a few projects already underway. I'm trying to put the blocks of time I have when the kids are at school to good use.

special thanks

Here we are, (l to r: Stephanie, Colett, Molly, and Noelle) just after the clean up Saturday night. Happy with thai food in our bellies, but very tired.
The Beehive Bazaar was a great success! We love our new location!
Thank you so much to Gallery One Ten, and Art Access of Utah for sponsoring us, and opening your wonderful gallery for our use. We couldn't have done it without you!
We would also like to thank our vendors, without all of you and all your hard work, we would just be a few ladies craftin' in the basement.

tiny felt books

We are very excited to have our very clever friend Hailey Liechty makin' something for the show. Here's a little preview of some of the little felt books she has been making. They are a must for any handy gals- or your mother (hint) who just might need a safe place to store her pins and needles while on the go.
I have one of these little babies and I can't tell you how much easier it is to tote around than a stinkin' pincushion. Check out Hailey's fabulous blog here
I heard she'll also have some clay whimsimobilia to sell as well.

Queen Bling...

Jennifer Calderone (pictured here with her handsome helpmate Rex...guess that makes him King Bling..get it...Rex...King?) will have her latest jewelry on display and for sale at this years Bazaar. Her jewelry is exceptional and a sell-out every time, so be sure to show up early if you want to make sure you get a little su-um-su-um that's just right for you or dear ol' mum.

Stick 'em up!

Molly is packn' heat--heated glue guns that is and she couldn't be crafty without them.

Colett gets pushy...

These pin-cushions from Colett Yarro are so adorable you'll be hesitant to hide them away in your sewing closet and be placing them on the coffee table instead!


PS: Colett, we forgot, which one makes you taller and which one will make you grow smaller?

Stephalicious...

One more reason to come visit the Beehive Bazaar next week--umm...Stephalicious.

How many can I eat in a day?

I love cake...Let me count the ways!

Do you need to dig in style???

Some colorful and useful garden tools for yourself or your mama!

Get yer craft on...

Just a sampling of Colett's many creative talents...it's hard to believe that she found time to craft while searching for vampires in the Portland area! Her gift tags are darling. She will also be offering paintings,rings,necklaces,(I'm sure that I'm leaving something out!)

lost library

We are very excited to have LeAnn Hillam and her groovy books back in the show after a brief hiatus of a year or so.
I love the idea of recycling pretty much everything you can, but especially books. The process goes something like this...
Find old books with interesting covers still in tact-paperbacks or hard bound, or old sewing patterns etc.
Take out the pages and replace them with blank paper, but leaving in a few old pages here and there.
Then... tadaa you have a one-of-a-kind blank book to do with whatever you like- sketch, write, doodle, paint, brainstorm, compose music, play tic-tac-toe...
Here are a few from my private collection, I'm a little partial to the pattern books of course, but "May I Cross Your Golden River?" makes me smile every time I lay eyes on it.

skirts and t-shirts

kitties in clothing

yes, this is a piece of fabric. and, yes- it will be sewn into something and available at the show...

puddle jumpers

there are so many clever gals in our neck of the woods, and amber callister of sassy mia is no exception. these darling little girl shoes have been available at previous shows, and we will have them again this spring. she also has great shoes for the little fellas, thank goodness- if you have little boys and you care about what they wear, you know quite well there's not enough out there for boys that doesn't have some stupid logo or graphic, especially in the shoe department. to see her boy shoes click here to see more girl shoes click here

Molly's pillows...what?

Molly and Steph sat up late the other night working their crafts and talking trash--two of their favorite past times.
