ETSY Stuff....

OK...what day is it...where am I??? I swear if I was asked that question right now I am afraid the answer would be...DUHHHHH...HUH??? Been a Gremlin filled wickedly time stealing week!

Finishing this and that , working on goodies for my Moms and sisters Birthdays which are a day apart 9th-10th .... finishing up the Goblin...still have bits to do on him... UGH!!! (sorry for the serious lack of pictures) , no excuse other than... the dog ate my digital camera...yeah yeah...that's it!!!! BAD JODI...BAD...NO BISCUIT!!!

Halloween is TAP TAP TAPPING with a boney Skelly Tipped finger on my shoulder...reminding me every chance it gets that I am WAAAAY behind on everything ... and this was the year my ideas were running out my ears...I just didn't take into account the time factor...or the lack of time I should say... well Goobledee Goop and Black Bat Poop... I think I will sit quietly in the corner and eat a worm or two...!!!

On a Much brighter Note...I tricked Richard into letting me list on ETSY his WONDERFUL Train Prints... he is such a shy guy . I don't get to flaunt his actual Art Work very often... This just shows another side of Richard....he is a man who LOVES His trains...lol!

Oh...and I popped on another Gothic Hollows Pin...a Skull!!!

OK..off to see what trouble I can stir up...actually I am going to sit very quiet and finish a pair of hands...

Hugs to All

Gothic Hollows Wearable Art on ETSY

Well between approx. 25 other projects I have going...I got the really bad Halloween itch and decided to upload our first Halloween 'Ghostie' Jewelry pieces on ETSY today... time is just slipping away so fast and before I know it...it will be Thanksgiving...WHAT!!!!! WHAT the Heck Happened to HALLOWEEN!!!???? So I jumped on it and made a few things for ETSY... a few more to come hopefully!

OK...back to work for me.... Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Holiday Weekend... mine will be spent bent over a work table ...blurry eyed coffee induced blank stare with just the right amount of crazed look to keep people at bay.... just for good measure I throw in the occasional "hee hee hee heeeeeeeee" laugh of Renfield!!

Hugs To All

Pleased as Punch with Buttons Popping!!

We are thrilled beyond words at the great coverage we received this month in the AIM (Artists In Miniature) Magazine...it is British Based and is Packed Full of wonderful delights that you will truly enjoy!

They asked us a few months ago to 'write' a story about how we got started in miniatures.. So this I can say is my Very First Article to write all by myself!!! My own words...zowie! One more coming in December for Doll Artist Quarterly. I do like to write..have I mentioned that..LOL!!!

You will see the September Cover...just click on that and in PDF File it will take you through each page of the magazine...you can make larger with the little 'Magnifying Glass'...

So if you wanna read how we got started in dolls...literally, this would be the article to read!
Thank You so Much AIM for giving me this chance to get crazy in Print once again...!!

More Goblin Goodies

Howdy...just a few more items to add to the Goblin Desk... Richard made the ink well and believe it or not...a wonderful tiny tiny hummingbird feather was found this morning out by our pond (our feeder is just above the pond) ...we would like to think that the little hummingbird knew Richard was wracking his brain on what to do for the pen & Quill part of the set...and decided to leave him a sweet little feather... yeah yeah...that's or story and we are sticking to it!!! Seriously ...it was there. This the the first ledger along with the Receipt Holder....sitting on top of the yet to be finished off desk. Other shots are Richard making the little gallions (100 to be exact when he is finished) he punches these from polished brass , buffs the edges and will mark each.

I need to write an article for a magazine today and gather pictures so we are taking off a day from the doll...although I suspect Richard will find himself out in the shop working on something Goblin Related!!

Also I am 'Gathering Gathering' Goodies for the Giveaway Box... this is FUN!!

Hugs,

Jodi

Holy Mind Blow Batman!!!

Well I got up this morning poured myself a cup of Brazil's Finest turned on the computer...and of course went first to my Favorite Spot...'Bloglandia'... and there, before me...what did I see...the number 200!!!! Well slap me silly and call me a cab I can't believe my eyes...!!! Seems like yesterday there were 100...and believe me I was thrilled to death with that number. I want to Thank 'SNOWFERN' for making it officially 200!!!

I actually want to Thank each and everyone for becoming my friend and making this journey through Bloglandia one of the best journeys I could take. Just to know you all are out there popping in once in a while to read my silly jottings makes life incredibly fun and full....

OK...so now I want to do what I should have done ages ago and what I have been marveling at others for doing... I want to have a 'Give Away' ... I am going to put together a Box of all sorts of things from the Creager Studios...some New, Some Old, Art Work, Misc. Goodies...a little of this....and a lot of that! This will be fun and I guarantee some cool stuff!

I will have someone (maybe my Mom...she is into Blindfolds!!...LOL) choose a name from my followers list...I will do the all time favorite of printing all the names individual and tossing into a Hat.... now if a Rabbit is pulled first out of the hat...that goes in the box too!!!.

I will probably do this Saturday or Sunday.... Oh Boy, I am excited now...going to go 'a gathering' ...

Thank You all once again for joining my blog with your Friendship, Kindness, tolerance and sticktoitiveness .

Big Hugs To All!!!!!

Jodi
