And Now--My Studio Is Up And Running!

After a year of dreaming...my downstairs is now transformed into my studio!  It had been our family room for years until all the kiddos moved out and on with their adult lives and honestly, until now we didn't use it much. The baby GRANDS were needed upstairs in the great room under their parents' watchful eyes.   It was always a dream of mine to create a space that my creative self could begin to breathe in.
Several things precipitated this transformation:
1.  I retired from Hallmark Cards, Inc. after 23 years as an artist in Creative Specialty Design Studio in October 2009.
2.  The BABY Grands were getting BIG as in 3+ (except for Miss Katie-Bug our then 10 year old GRANDgirl who had the sole permission to venture into THE CAVE and carry on with her creative pursuits) and we desperately needed breathing room in our great room.
SO....I cleared out the junk (had a garage sale and gifted Goodwill with some treasures) and gave the furniture left behind by our youngest to a youth group at a local church!

VOILA!!!!!~

 

August 28, 2010 Kreative Musings Goes Live With First Show!

CUPCAKES, COCKTAILS AND CREATIONS!

I did it!  I created product and was in my first show as "Kreative Musings"!  My friend and neighbor, Christyn Koschmann of "Bead Up"http://beadup.blogspot.com/ was the hostess and the party was great!  The cupcakes (mine were the Lemon Drop ones), the customers were amazing and I got a lot of interest in my classes (digital art, watercolor, and drawing) and a lot of special orders!  I will do this again!
