Dog days of summer

Hi All
Too hot had to skip town after 4th of July to cool San Diego. If your looking for my creations I have some things in Blossom downtown Mesa, my summer neglected ETSY site, and Embelish up north. I've made a few bridal necklaces as of late and will try to get more pics. So fun to think my designs will be viewed for generations to come! First Friday will be back August and I'm making lots of smaller jewelry pieces and hair goodies for the back to schoolers.

Enjoy your summer! Karen

Babysitting Bliss

Thanks for all the support at my last First Friday sale.  Look for the next one June 3rd! There were lots of fun Mother's Day gifts purchased and hopefully lots of happy mothers. Sorry I haven't been tending to my blog like I should. I've been babysitting my now 5 month old grandson since the week after spring break till schools out. My free time has been spent making goodies and not blogging. Bennett has been such a joy, he never stops smiling and have even figured out a little schedule for him as he's gotten a little older. We go on a fun jog every morning and after morning nap we run an errand to keep him entertained, he loves a busy store. (see pics below) Anyway I'm still creating and have lots for sale in my house. My latest creations are fun fabric flowers made with vintage fabrics, linen, reclaimed silk flowers, and sometimes burlap. Look for more pictures soon. I'm obsessed with the "hippy style" headband, can't really pull it off at 48 but I'm tempted!

Happy day, Karen

May Days

Still working and creating everyday. Getting ready for Fridays sale, May 6th check out the "First Friday" tab. Enjoying watching my grandson Bennett while mom finishes teaching 1st grade. He keeps me young and active. Best little boy ever, so sweet and good natured.

Just a day at the park

Hi All!

Spent a fun day at Freestone park with my 2 daughters and 2 grandsons. Rudy spent as much time eating the duck food as feeding and loved chasing the birds and ducks with no success of a catch. I have more new goods at my home, just call before you stop by! A darling friend of mine wore a necklace she had me made to match her wedding dress. Her pictures are featured on the wedding blog site, Ruffled. Just search Sharisas modern elopement. You'll love the photos! I've had several people contact me wanting similar items, even a sweet girl from France!

Happy Day, Karen

Happy New Year

Hi All! 
Wow was the holiday season busy. I apologize for neglecting my blog. Look for changes in 2011. I'm going to be leaving Contagious and selling occasionally from home but will have most everything on my blog eventually. Look for more news the beginning of February. Contagious was very successful for me but I am a grandma of 2 now with another due to arrive in May and I want to scale back to have plenty of time for family, friends, and my church. Here's some new Valentine inspired creations to enjoy now available at Contagious till the end of the month. Thanks for the support!

Bennett, grandson #2, 6 days old
