TAY

On Saturday, we welcomed someone into my family. Our new cat, Tay! My family and I have fallen in love with him; all except for Maggie (my dog)

Tay and Maggie have had a few scuffles, but now, after a few days, they can get at least four feet away from each other without growling or meowing, or fighting with each other.

Here's a picture of Tay:

Today I finished my necklaces for the "Art Shak"! I'm so excited! They are going to be shipped straight down to their store today..(I hope they like them!)

Necklaces!

My favorite necklace; red, green and yellow

All of them!

YES!!

Hooray!

I made it back!

Yes!!

I'm so excited to be back in my missed blogging world! Lots of hugs sent out to my blogging friends! I've missed you, all!

Be prepared to read, because of my long leave, I have lots of news

to tell!When I was on my great vacation at the beach, I wore my 3-in-1 necklace around a lot and lots of people complimented on it, I received one order for some necklaces from a really nice lady.

Also, the store owner of an amazing art studio/gallery called Art Shak,

we talked about the art in her studio and my artwork, and then she asked about my necklace, found out I made it and asked about letting me put my artwork in her store!! I told her I would send her pictures of my crafts and she would look and see if she liked all my

art work. Soon, the pictures will be sent and I'll know if my crafts can be in her gallery! I CAN'T wait!

*wish me luck!*

Here are some crafts I'm planning to send pictures of:

Blue Hat, I love it so much, it's going to be hard to let it go

Maggie Sketch (which you've probably seen before)

Marker- clown drawing

sorry, about the bad photography. It's the first side of my pillow

Here's the second side of the pillow

and my guitar painting

Lately, I had my FIRST art show! It was very exciting and fun. even though I didn't do very well. But I'm hoping I will do a lot better next time.

I didn't get ANY photos from the art show I went to. Maybe my aunt Leanne or my grandmother has some. :) If they do, I'll post them soon!

Love,

Queeny

Summer Stitching...

what to do...what to do...on a nothing-to-do summer day?

pick out your color. move to another. and stitch and stitch away.

3-in-1 crocheted necklace. I love it :)

This is my favorite way to wear it

it can be a hair band too

and my i-cord necklace

Braceleting Lately

I rediscovered my beads yesterday and decided to make one bracelet..then another and another and another. Now I have a little pile of bracelets and they inspire me to make even more. It's kind of addicting! Expect more to come.

Enjoy:

Mom's favorite^^

My favorite ^^

Belated Birthday Present! (Tangy)

After a long day of rock-climbing with friends and family, I came home to a wonderful surprise! A stuffed animal taller then my little brother, welcomed me at my front porch with a sweet note from one of my best friends. I had taught her how to make a stuffed animal a few months before....she catches on quickly!



Rock Climbing Wall

Rock Climbing...I made it up the wall 9 times :)

and here are some pictures of Tangy, my whimsical, large dog:

Just Clownin' Around

I'm using my beautiful clown my grandmother bought for me in New Orleans as a model for my latest drawings.

Pretty, isn't she? I love all of her fun and fancy colorful outfit she wears.

Pencil Sketch of my clown



Marker drawing. I had to draw her in color. (I don't think the marker drawing is as good as my sketch but it was more fun.)

Queen Crafty Girl is back! ..finally

Sorry about my long leave but hopefully I am back for good. I missed blogging and can't wait to come back to it again. I think when I left, I lost some of my inspiration, creativity, and imagination. I'm so glad I came back to the blogging world filled with all the things I've missed. I truly have missed all my amazingly creative friends! And sooo...here's what I've been up to:

Right now I am thinking of designing my brother a super-hero costume (which will definitely have a cape included)...any ideas? He wants to add his crocodile hat to the costume and wants to be called "Croc Man"

2ND PLACE!--

I won 2ND PLACE in the art contest!! The pictures my teacher picked out--"Chinese Boy" won 2nd and the abstract drawing of my brother got an honorable mention! Oh, how proud I was when I got the news from my art teacher. Also I got $10. Not bad :)

(sorry, but I don't have my pictures back from the art contest yet...I will take pictures of the ribbons and things once I get them sent back to me.)

Maggie---the sketch in progress--

Here is a picture of when I started the pencil sketch of my dog.



and here is the almost finished product....except I have misplaced it at the moment...this always seems to happen to me for some reason. (it's the messiness in me)

Hooray!

Hooray! My art teacher finally picked my works of art for the upcoming local art contest...I'm so excited! Here are the art works she picked: the abstract drawing of my brother which she combined with the bracelet abstract drawing at the bottom

the little chinese-school-boy

and my bracelet abstract drawing.

P.S.

(Soon, I will be finishing my piece of pottery in my art class and I can't wait to show it to you!)

Guitar!

I recently started taking guitar lessons! I love it! I am playing my brother's other guitar...which I am calling mine for the time being. I decided to paint it. NOT literally. Mom said, no. I painted a picture of it. See what you think:

And here I am, (fake) playing my painting of my guitar.

Congratulations to.....

Sorry all of you contestants had to wait so long! I was waiting for other people to enter for the drawing, I had a very busy few weeks, and I had lost the scarf!! (But thankfully, mom found it!)

Now before I announce the winner, I want to thank every one for entering for my scarf contest. It makes me feel special that people would enter a contest to have one of my crafts :)

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for......the drawing of the winner!!!!

Above is my brother, shaking up the names in the hat/box.

No peeking!

In goes my hand into the box.....and the winner is.....
