Wahoo!! I'm Up And Running!!

Thanks go out to Denise from Odd Imagination for being my new best friend and helping me out with my total lack of technology know how. She totally helped me and got me up and running again with the big dogs. I'm so happy...*sniff*!

Okay, now I have some pictures to share. Where to start.

My little baby bird Wally, that's where.

Isn't he ever so handsome and just look at those bright colors! I have never seen a bird like this here before, he's just stunned me with his beauty. Of course until last year I didn't even know we had mockingbirds here. I just don't get out much, hehe.

Here's he's getting a bit sleepy. You can see like a typical baby he's got food all over his face!

We fed him a Green Mush mixture and that's what is all over his little beak.

Here we are with the syringe and you can really see how tiny he is!

First Friday booth.

Admittedly not the best shot in the world as I realized later that it framed the porta-potties nicely in the background...blech. The wind was kicking up pretty good and we had to add lots of "extras" to the table to keep all the light weight pieces from blowing over. Definitely need some bigger display 'somethings' in there. I'm hoping to get a great idea for displaying my little pocket mirrors. The cool box I had them in confused people as to what they actually were.

I did manage to come up with some last minute nifty little designs that were a HUGE hit. I plan on concentrating on those a lot more for the next one.These were initially for a swap I joined over on Craftster but decided that they were entirely too big and made some newer smaller ones just days before they were due. Lord, I love toe-ing the line!
I used some copper wire I found last year on the construction site for their legs. I totally loved the way they came out and may need to make some more.


There is one right behind the little cardinal that I completely cut out of the picture and she's probably my favorite. They are going to get their own photo shoot shortly as I plan on adding them to my etsy shop soon. The adorable little red guy on the right found a new home Friday night though. I'm sure he's very happy as there are already other big eyed birds living there. (Hehe, hi Amy!)

These guys were the BIG hit of the night. Everyone loved them. I'm even more proud of them because these are my sons. That's right, the one who said he had no talent and didn't know how to make anything. He starts playing with the Celluclay and next thing you know he's joining me in the booth at First Friday. Did I mention that he almost sold out? Here's his booth. I kind of surprised him with this shot and never got another as we were as busy as all get out for the rest of the night!
His stuffed voodoo dolls were another big hit.

This gorgeous rose was blooming to the left of the zombie kids when we were doing their photo shoot and I could not resist.

I'm so happy I have my camera back!!
