Decluttering (cleaning out some supplies and such)

WOW....what a difference a day can make here lately. Yesterday it was hot, muggy and humid. Today is cool and breezy. Not complaining at all either cause the coolness is a welcomed thing and one that I am enjoying!! I love seeing the trees dancing in the breeze and listening to their rustling song.

Didn't some of the rustling sound like children? Well....hehe...it was. The elementary school is having field day today.

What I'm NOT enjoying is cleaning out some of my art supplies. Wahhhh!! Yea yea, I'm a big baby and apparently a supply horder..hehe ^_^

I need to replenish some of my supplies and that means getting rid of a few. (again....WAHHH) I have a few things listed in my Etsy shop already but will be listing more things in the next few days. My loss could be your gain, yes?? I might even put together a few kits!!

Until next time..........Hugs,
Regi

This lil piggie went to the market...this lil piggie went.......

AND these lil piggies are going to Beach Reflections this morning...hehe!!! Can ya tell I have either (A) had to much coffee already this morning or (B) read wayyy to many nursery rhymes or (C) am just a tad bit touched in the noggin or (D) all of the above.  If you guessed (D) all of the above then you'd be exactly right.

See the lil piggies? HEHE  Ohhhh, I just have to laugh at myself sometimes. (ok I laugh at myself all the time) but I just couldn't resist making a foot card (or would that be foot note?) to put the barefoot sandals on. I have all nine pairs on their own little foot and even slipped over the second toe.

I could have just kept on making these but this morning was my deadline for getting them to the shop so that they could be inventoried in, in time for all the folks that are coming down for the Hangout Music Festival. I am planning on making some to put in my Etsy shop, so if you're interest in getting a pair keep a watch over on my sidebar to see when they have been added. (yeppers, I have a link to my shop over to the right. I know it can be missed sometimes because of getting so lost in looking at all the pretty pictures...hehe)

Here's a recap of the ones going this morning and keep those fingers crossed that they all sale!!! Ppplease.

Until next time............Hugs,
Regi

1 & 2 & Twist & Stretch!!

Bet by the title you thought you were fixing to walk into a gym....Regi's workout studio...feel the burn kinda place, ri iight?? Well....not today. (Hey...I heard that "Whew" you just let out...hehe) Today's title means that I'm not just twisting the hemp rope but I decided to stretch some elastic cording as well in making some of my barefoot sandals. If you missed out on yesterday's post and have no clue what I'm jabbering about then click HERE to find out. By the way....why don't you know already? YOU should be visiting everyday ^_^. I so love when YOU visit with me.

I'm having so much FUN making these. It's a great frustration reducer since I have to concentrate on the designs for the pieces and then counting out the beads. I mean we all know that I'm a "one thing at a time" kinda gal so it makes everything else fade away....for the time being anyways. Here's a few of the "twisted" sandals I made yesterday.

 These I made a bit different. Instead of my twisted closure I kept the strings long so that it can be wrapped around the ankle and then tied in the back, front, or side. (kinda like Roman sandals, eh?)

 Close up of the "Roman" sandals...hehe

 Since these will be worn at the beach I thought perhaps a beach scene one would be nice. I used vintage brass beads and bronze shell charms.

Now I think I have made the twisted ones where they will fit just about anyone. I left enough roping at the ends for larger sizes and if they are to big then they can be clipped and re knotted at the ends. Have to try and make everyone Happy Happy Happy!!! I have some more designs for the twisted that I'm working on today and will post them tomorrow. 

Now even though I LOVE doing my macrame, my muse started whispering about making some beaded ones using stretchy cord. Those that visit often know good and well that I have to listen to the whispers or they become out right screams...hehe. Here's a pair doing what the "whispers" told me. (Yes, yes I hear voices in my head. Don't you??)

 Now..my mermaid soul came out with these. 

 I even attached mermaid scales to the backs. (ok not really mermaid scales, cause I would never take a mermaid's scales...that wouldn't be nice..hehe)

 All the beads are glass and the larger focal bead on each sandal has a pretty gold flaking inside.

I'm off to do some more twisting and stretching. Noooo, for real this time. I need to take a break and really do my workout and then get back to this kind of twisting and stretching. ^_^

Until next time...............Hugs,

Regi
