I've been busy making stuff for the hook-in

Our local hook-in in Springfield, MO. is just one week away! It's being held on the 18th of April at the Boathouse at Lake Springfield. Tammy said so far there are 60 people signed up. I've been making things to sell at the hook in.

First I made t-shirts. I have a dozen of them. I'm not quite sure if I should take orders or just sell them outright.(at the hook-in) It is impossible to know what color and size and saying a person might want. So I might be better off taking orders and shipping them. I will add all of this stuff to my etsy store soon too. It is ShabbySheep Crafts.etsy.com. These are all my designs for the shirts and the other items. I've used vintage photos and added my own sayings to them.

You may also purchase the shirts directly from my blog too. They are made from 50% polyester, 50% cotton and sell for $18.00. Size 2X and 3X are available for an additional $2.00. You may email me or add a comment here to order. I know that white, black and gray will always be available in the shirts. Other colors are not always available and I would be happy to see if I can make one in the color you request. They come in sizes small, medium, large, extra large and like I said 2X and 3X. Postage will be $4.00 for the first shirt and $1.00 extra for each additional shirt in the order. I accept Pay-pal, money order and personal checks. I will ship your order after your personal check clears.

I'll also show you the cosmetic/hooking bags I have for sale. I only have six of these left and I'm sorry to say that I can't get these anymore. So once they're gone....they're gone!! They are $8.00 each with another $3.00 f0r shipping. Like always, I will combine shipping. I keep my hook, scissors, tweezers and a marker in mine.

These bags are made of cotton and measure 7" tall by 8.5 " wide. Great size for in your purse! Great springy colors too!





I'll post again tomorrow and show you the purses, key chains and magnets I am offering for sale. Like I said, I've been busy!!!

Let the beauty you love be what you do...

It's Friday night again

And I still haven't posted the pictures from Last Fridays Art Walk in downtown Springfield, MO.
There were a lot of different artists showing their work this month. It was great. Go on the visual tour with me....
Right after parking the car and having to walk down a dimly lit alley to get to the art, we saw this painted on the alley wall. I knew it was going to be a great night! It was as if he had painted if just for me!!

A guy after my own heart. A 1968 Camaro. This was my first car. Yes, I was lucky. My dad restored antique automobiles and this was my 16th birthday present. Mine was black. Wish I still had it.


Freedom of speech...


More freedom of speech...


Freedom of body?


Freedom of fire...







These are paper roll ups. They are probably made in China, but I think they remind me of the wool roll ups Tammy is making in her tree mat. We could make wool placemats!

Freedom of music...


Freedom of CRAZY!?!?! He just glared at me after I took his picture. Scary.

Some art in the galleries...



This was my Favorite. It was probably eight feet long and five feet tall. Sorry, not a very good picture though.







Religious icons....My Mary rug is going to be right in style!




I have an old doll head like this. Turned it over and look, it's a turtle!!!



Collage work in a gallery...


My favorite...Brights


My own interpretation of art. These bent rods covering an old window were on one of the spooky alleys we had to walk. I think they're very interesting.

Freedom of bowling pin art!


We have BIG BEER in Springfield!!!

We snuck into a classroom at the Technical College. What an assortment of things to draw. Must be a fun class!

Students artwork...




This an an Old theatre the downtown association recently restored. I remember going to movies there in the early 60's. (oops, showing my age)Right in side the entryway of the theatre. We are using it now for some cultural events. Plays, art shows, etc. We sure need some more culture in this city. Although to some, this art walk looks pretty cultural. There really isn't much to do here. This is only on the first Friday of every month. I don't know if the galleries really do much business during the month except on these nights. I guess they would have to or they wouldn't be in business. We do also have a Little Theatre Company and some smaller venues at restaurants, poetry reading, theatre, stand up comedy.


In the first gallery we went into, The Creamery Arts Center I heard the most beautiful piano music. My favorite!!! OOhhh, it's a grand piano.

With no one playing it. It was a player piano. Have you ever seen a player-grand?


As you can see from the title, I thought I posted this last night. It was like 2:00 in the morning and I guess I forgot to hit the publish post button.
You may get two in one weekend. I've got alot to show you!
Peace,
Sheri
