a prayer for teddy

Please everyone say a prayer for Teddy. She did not come in last night. I fear for the worse. I let her run outside  last night and sat with her for  a while then I went to bed and left the door open  with out taking her in with me !! UGHHHHHH How could I  be so  lame ! I am sick !!! I know a  coyote got her !! how could I be such a bad care giver??? 

The cooler

Look what I found on the side of the road!!!  An old cooler, the inside  is galvanized tin. I then turned it into my  desert version of  a fairy garden . The  tin bowl  I found on my last sunday morning  trip to the dump. I am having so much fun with these tin gardens . I made a whole collection  for the store using   old tin cans!!

One year old and other things

Today our little shop is one year old!!! Summer is the slow season in Bisbee but it seems a good time for girls get aways. I have had several groups in the past week. The shops class room is   small so   the  class sizes are too . Thursday I taught an all  day painting  workshop   " Textured Whimsy" the girls pieces turned  out great as they  really put their hearts in to learning . One  of the best bonuses of owning  a shop is making friends. Jill came into the shop the  other day to show off the   pair of fun pants she had made way too cute!! .Last sunday morning  she got me up a 5 AM  to go to the very old city dump site. All that  is left at the  site is   pottery shards ,glass bottles and rusted stuff. She knew I would love it !!! I came home and  made fun collections  of my finds.  Also I want to introduce  you to my  birthday present  from   Cal. Her name is Teddy .It is to bad that  Peanut and Scooty hate her , as she just shakes when they come around.   Does anyone know if they ever will be able  to coexist,  if they did  not grow up together? I am keeping  them separated   for now.

TEDDY!!! My rescue kitty ,birthday present !!

How can people just dump these sweet creatures ? 

She was so skinny living on bugs, Now she just loves to eat.

The little brats known as Peanut and Scooty. Will they ever accept Teddy?

The fairy Garden

When I was a little girl I loved the idea of creating wee house in the woods. So playing  on pintrest this am I found the fairy garden page  SOOOO cute !!

I just discoverd the Mini esty widget  for my supply shop !!! it is so cute.

Finally another goal meet and  I can now  cross it  off the endless" to do" list!!!! Yippee .
 I have many request in the shop asking if I  also  sell the clothes on line. Well, now I do! Check it out at Blissbee.net!  Also we  are growing each month . I now have 190 items  on our bisbeebliss etsy supply shop too. Our little Blissbee keeps growing each month.  But a word of caution to those who are  thinking  about opening a shop, expect to not have an outside  life!!

Thanks Lady's

back from Art and Soul!

I just got back from Art and soul at  Virginia  beach. It was such a beautiful place and hotel for the event. Glenny moved it this year to a smaller hotel right  on the beach. My desert dried out  body loved the water and a  long walk after classes at sunset was perfect .The first evening at sunset  I  gathered shells for my students  to use the  next day in class .  Then I went out for tuna sushi another non desert food sooo YMMMUY!!!!!I met up with old  friendsand made new ones    and  was able to give my down under  blog friend  Jen  Crossley a big hug. Yes, she was there  teaching her wonderful art !!!!!!  I taught  Paper Clay "pups and wheels" and one kitty too. And my  3 times a charm, no  solder charm class .My students  blew me away as my student always do . Here are some images.
