Well now! after all this time!
 I have just found my blogspot again have not blogged for 2 years
So here goes ' hallo everyone '

I haven't been lazy at all just diverted to other things.

I am still painting a little,  but my time is spent knitting for photographers.
I also knit for my shop on folksy ,  I adore making the little Mary Jane booties,  you can view in
  ' folsky bluebeezy '
Getting back to the photographers

The photographer dresses the new born babies in unusual knitted hats and headbands whilst the baby is nestling in a hand knitted hammock!
That's where I come in. I design and knit hats and headbands for new born babes  I also knit the hammocks.
I'm always thinking of new designs.

You should see my stacks of yarns!!

Encaustic Wax Painting

Nearly 20 years ago I started wax painting, doing demonstrations at craft fairs and coaching pupils.

Well I have been tempted to start again and was very surprised to find that my little white painting iron still worked after all this time, it was hiding in the back of a cupboard.

I bought a new stylus and 49 waxes, and had a go!!!

Here are my first attempts. It is an amazing craft, as no two pictures will be the same.

I have sold a couple on e.bay already and have several on there for sale, now!!!

Showing Off

Just a quickie post this time

I am so thrilled I have just sold my first item on etsy to someone in U.S.

Hoping it is the first of many!!!

I Opened a Shop on Etsy

In March I decided to try selling my paintings in Etsy

I had been saying I must have a go at selling in U.S.A. and every one kept encouraging me to do so.

It is very different to folsky in as much as I can't get my head around the forums. You don't seem to be able to have a conversation with any one. One must join a' team' Well I joined two teams and they are very welcoming to new people, but I am not sure how to operate in these teams. How to promote one's items for instance.

However I am enjoying the new experience, and making some friends

I have listed several paintings so far --see here!!

Forgot to publish the image apple blossom

What to do With an old Frame

I decided to frame four of my aceo paintings.

Came across this old red frame, which had been hanging around for quite a while.

With the red in the images it toned in with the red frame.

I was quite pleased with the final arrangement.

Might make some to sell in my shop -- if there was any interest, that is, will do some research!!

In the mean time here is my latest aceo, thinking of Spring and apple blossom.

About Time Too

Well here she is our little Tuppence---7 months old now!

See how she has grown. You never know how they will turn out when you buy a cross breed.

Tuppy's mum is a Yorkie and her dad is a Jack Russell

We were lucky with that combination as you can see ,she is gorgeous!

Sold -' just like that'

I am going to show off now

This little A.C.E.O. painting was listed in my folksy shop,

and within 2 minutes it was bought and paid for.

In fact the paint was only just dry,

when I listed it.

That sort of thing does not happen very often ,only once before.

Must get going on some more I guess.

My day is made

Stylized Gentian

I loved painting this aceo.

Found my Gouache paints [long forgotten] the gentian looks really great using these paints.

Now that the craft fairs have ended I have more time to experiment with paint and images.

I don't have a particular style just try anything that takes my fancy.

All I have to do now is to start selling a few!!

Lots more aceo paintings

Must say that I have enjoyed painting these images this week.

May be design some more soon

Got to get back to making jewellery and catching up with my knitting too!

Art cards,editions & originals More Pintings

Must have a rest from painting for now.So pleased that I sold my first one yesterday. though.

Will be designing more soon

More A.C.E.O. original Paintings

Been busy with my paintbrush again,the abstract seems quite popular in my folksy shop so far lots of views.

I have just listed the 'cute ducklings on a lilly pond ,to-day

Will see what sort of receptions that one gets.

One can never tell what people will like.

Art is in the eye of the beholder they say.

Well behold my art!!!

It is such fun.

Art cards,editions & originals

I have just discovered an interesting thread on folksy featuring aceo's [art cards,editions & originals]

So I have joined in with one of my miniature paintings - they must measure 3.5 ins x2.5 ins to qualify as an aceo.

I have just listed my first piccie on folksy,do have a peep!

I intend to be painting some more soon.

Iridescent Necklace

http://www.dreamaid.com/viewProductAction.do?id=6133

I thought I would try listing in dreamaid again. Have had a break for a while,so I listed this stunning necklace to-day.

Wonder if there is any interest in my new creation!!

New Shop in 'misi'

Thought I would give misi another try!!

So just opened my shop http://mybluebeezy.misi.co.uk

Have only one item listed at the moment but will be adding more soon

These images certainly brighten up my blog to-day

Lucky Winner!!

I have just received my 'Give away prize' all the way from Massachusetts,

I could'nt believe my eyes when the postman handed me this very large box.

I did not expect such a big item,the' afghan throw' is huge,and the colours match my furniture as you can see in the images.

What a clever lady Debbie Malloy is.

So much work, must have taken hours to make. I am so pleased to receive such a beautiful item.

Every time I go into the lounge it makes me smile,

You must look at' poetesswug's blogs she writes the most lovely poetry,aswell as making crochet hats and things,what a busy lady !!

Thank you Debbie for making my day.

Reductions

I have decided to reduce my felt applique brooches

from £6.50 down to £4.50

Here is one sample from a group of six. I have them in my folksy shop,you can view in the window on the right hand side of the screen.

'Flue' Jab,Anyone?

I went for my annual flue jab on Wednesday,

on Friday I had developed a prickly soreness in my throat,

by Saturday I had started a full blown dose of 'flue'.

Been in bed since then, with a fever and all that goes with the dreaded 'flue'

Has anyone suffered like this after getting jabbed that you know of? is it unusual?

I shall think twice before going to my doctor's surgery to get 'flue in future,Cough Cough Sneeze

Oh excuse me!!

Then I was cheered up by' poetesswug' Deb telling me that I had won her latest givaway.

It is a afghan crocheted by her.I am looking forward to my parcel all the way from America,

what a generous person she is.

Letter From Tuppence to Penny my Breeder

As you Know I am 15 weeks old now,and getting prettier by the day.I love going to craft fairs as there are so many people that I have made friends with.They think

I am adorable especially when I lay on my back,I do like my tummy being stroked.[No I am not a hussey, just friendly]

Every day we go to the park where I run- jump- skip- fall over-and pick up little' treasures'

I played with another puppy yesterday,I think he likes me, hope we see him again. I have to keep my lead on tho' cos I might get lost, it is a very large park. Here are some piccies of me in the park.

Another thing that I like is going out in the car, I travel in the back in my little cage to keep me safe, I've never been car sick!

My owners are very pleased with me when I sit for my meals and special treats, they always say

'gooood girl' Well I am most of the time,I do sleep all night too.

Love you lots and Ben too!xxxx

Featured Again

Well!

Great news my button ear rings have been featured on the home page of dreamaid

You can see the pair of cerise ear rings that I mean in the picture below this blog.

I have been designing button jewellery for such a short time. I am pleased to report that my sales at craft fairs have been GREAT!

I am of the opinion that when visitors see me actually making the button jewellery it impresses them.

I do get used to the comments 'Oh! now I know what to do with my mum's old buttons'

I have to giggle 'go on then make em'

I have outlets in three gift shops and they are selling well there too.

I shall be on the lookout for more buttons when ever we go shopping,I do prefer the vintage buttons tho'
