Gnomes Homes my Loves:)

My sweet loves and Darlin Dears:)


As I mentioned in my last post, Deluxe went really well....& one thing I was surprised that did so well, were my Gnome Homes:)



I have been making Gnome Homes for a while now, but only for myself:) I enjoy placing them on book shelves or scattered amongst picture frames:) Encourages the kids to smile and my friends to laugh:) I make them in many glass items....Mason Jars....old lanterns....jelly jars....& light Bulbs....& recently glass ornaments :)




So.....I thought it would be fun to also offer them online :) & from now to New Years, free with every Adoption of a piece:) Fun Huhh:)


They are made with dried Meadow grass and Woodland Moss...real moss:) it smells very sweet:)



They are also stuffed with cut out hearts from my lovely old books..encourages the gnomes to rest for a while:)



Maybe soon I will show you all my personal Gnome Home Collection...very fun:)


Anyways, as also promised, here is some more artwork:)

"We Rode To The North Pasture"



It is available right here my darlin dear:)


I wish you alllllllll a lovely day & send many warm hugs your way:)

Why....Because I love You:)

Hellloooo my Lovely Darlin Dears:)


Thank you too all who came out to Deluxe craft show On Saturday...It went just sooo darn well....I can not even begin to tell you how happy I was...Happier than a peach:) Your words....your sweet words that gave me more warm fuzzies than I can express:)

I would Also like to say how exctatic I was to get best booth!! I could not understand what Sara was saying at first when she brought over the little tiny book and said that I got best booth.....But when It finally came to light in my brain, I think I might have squeeled :) Ohhhh Goodness gracious.... I was just happy to Represent Deluxe in the best way possible:)

In addition, I had more than a dozen people who talked to me who said they were sad because I was not releasing my new artwork to you folks...One lovely lady explained to me that my new artwork was just always something she looked forward too and without it she just didn't know what to do...At first I laughed and blushed...then she said "I'm serious...." and then she grabbed my shoulder and looked into my eyes and said "Samantha Joelle Honey Lamb...show us at least a few dear"......It sounded like something my brain was trying to say to me....so....

Here ya go my loves:)

"From The Ground Up"

Hellooooo my darlin Dears:)


I have had the pleasure of working with the band "Sleeping At Last" now for about 4 years. They have not only been a lot of fun to hang out with, cut out paper clouds, eat at classen grill, fall in love with Ryan's amazing mom who is just sweeter than a peach, roam around parks, talk about every aspect of the creative world....but they have been an inspiration.

Not only are they two of the hardest working people in the music world that I have met, they are a constant stream of support. For my last project called "The Perpetual Picnic", Ryan O'Neal from "Sleeping At Last" created a lovely Instrumental track for the soundtrack that plays during the Instillation. It has become a favorite of patrons. It has so far been played in exhibitions in:
*Chicago
*Lovely San Francisco
*Austin
*New York

The last date was San Fran and a older guy asked me kindly if I would play it about 4 times in a row....I was happy to do so:)

Here is the song my loves right here: "From The Ground(Instrumental) Up"




This lovely month, the "December" volume of their "Yearbook" project was released. I was more excited than my donkey Fred seeing a basket of apples and carrots, when I saw that they were releasing a version of "From The Ground Up" with lyrics.




It was and is SO GREAT.....so sweet an wonderful:)


This is also a great opportunity for me to encourage you folks to go and support your independent musicians :) I could go on and on about supporting your artists of crafts and paintings and such...but you could always go ahead and buy a loved one, a subscription to Sleeping At Last's "Yearbook" project. That is the kind of gift that would give your loved one a gift every month!! Very unique and very Lovely:) I have nothing but love for those boys and I adore what they create:)

...as some of you also might know, Ryan did the Forward for the second edition of my poetry book "Harmonicas & Honey" :)



.....That also made my day:)

I am a faithful reader of their fun blog too:)

I wish you all a lovely thursday and friday, & I send my love:)
