Meet me by the Beach Tomorrow!


Thanks for dropping by. Just wanted to let you know I'll be at the Encinitas Street Faire tomorrow, Sunday Nov. 22 from 9-4. Find me at booth #947 across from the "Rustic Rooster" boutique. A fun time to continue (or if you're like me just start) your Christmas shopping. I'll be bringing some new ornaments just in time. The sun will be out and it's sure to be a great day. For more info, pop on over to this link.
Hope you can make it!
Take care,
Martha

Ornaments & Crowns

Welcome! I've been a busy Betty filling orders, and I'm sure as the holidays approach you have been too. I was fortunate enough to take a class from Sally Jean last week. She finally offered one close to where I live, in San Diego. It was great fun, and we made Christmas ornaments. Some shaped as stockings, others beveled, and house shaped like the ones I made above. Over the years, I've made fewer and fewer large ornaments, and have made them teeny tiny, so it was fun to make some big ones. for a change.
I love this verse "do not forget to welcome strangers. By doing that some people have welcomed angels without knowing it." I dusted the bee, flower and bird with crystal clear glitter.
My friend Rosemary was kind enough to make this teeny weeny crown for my wooden sandpiper. I think she looks gorgeous in it!
The crown is only about an inch in diameter, and made with delicate seam binding, and a tiny rhinestone. I just love how it came out. Perfect color for a sandpiper, don't you think? Thank you Rosemary!
Thinking ahead to Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for all the fun I have creating, and the amazing and wonderful ladies I've been blessed to meet along the way!
Take care,
Martha
