Mama Mia in Saint Louis

My sister, Rhea and I got back Sunday night from our trip to Saint Louis. It was just one of those self indulgent sisters trips. We have not had one in quite some time. With her living in CO it is hard for us to get together. But, we made ourselves plan this trip and we stuck to the plans. We love Mama Mia movie and we knew it was based on the broadway show-so we hunted the traveling show down and chose the one in Saint Louis because the date fit our schedule and the place sounded interesting.

Saint Louis proved to be very interesting. We found the city to be so clean and pristine. The architecture of all the buildings was fascinating. This city is rich in history and culture. The people were so friendly every where we went. Going to see the Arch was an awesome experience. We got to ride these tiny little space ship looking things to go to the top of the arch and view the city. Although I am not fond of heights, I loved it and felt totally safe!

Mama Mia was my first ever Broadway show and I loved it. It was surreal to me and I decided the movie had it right on compared to the show. Rhea and I want to be Mama Mia groupies-haha!
I have to say that half the fun of the show was the getting all dressed up. It was fun trying to get all glamed up together. You should have seen the hotel room after we got ready! Here we are at the Fox Theater.

All in all, we had the best time, took lots of photos which you can view on my Flickr site! We met some wonderful people and made great memories. Can't wait until our next adventure. I believe we are taking my mother to see the Ellen show. Mama loves Ellen and so do we......

Such fun! Good for you, seeing your first Broadway show, that's fantastic. The two of you do look fabulous. I loved the movie too, Abba takes me back to college and my disco queen days, what's not to love?

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Laughing Out Loud

I still have some work to do on these paper mache letters. I finally found something to do with all the bits and pieces of things that I keep because they will be perfect for some piece of art.....some day. Today is the day! I really love this piece/grouping. LOL .....a good message don't you think? Go ahead, Laugh Out Loud.....it is very healthy and therapeutic. Today, I bought the soundtrack to Mamamia and I have enjoyed the heck out of it. I really enjoyed that movie. I have discovered that people either love it or hate it. I just think that it is so cool that Meryl Streep totally stepped out of her norm and went for the musical. She did a great job and I can't wait to see it again. It is a great girlfriends and sisters movie. I highly recommend that you go and get it and go to your girlfriends house and watch it and....oh....I don't know......LAUGH OUT LOUD! Let me know if you do and how it goes.

VILLAGE CLAY WORKS Another Artist Interview

I ran across this wonderful and whimsical artist several weeks ago when her work was featured on Etsy. I have enjoyed looking at her work and I know you will too. Meet Catherine Reece from Northern California. She is a creative woman who has been working in clay for over thirteen years. She was kind enough to let me interview her for this blog. Please enjoy. Tell us about who you are, what do you want to say as a statement about you? My name is Catherine Reece and I live in Dublin, California (just east of Oakland). I am married and a mother of two kids. I have been professionally selling my pottery for 8 years. I was waiting for my husband to graduate from design school and find a job while i worked and played with clay. Over a few years I began to build a small business selling my pottery. MY husband didn't find the job of his dreams and so he joined my in the studio as my partner. Now we make our living as artists selling pottery.I think I am still trying to figure that out.
