resting

Today my body and brain are in that full recovery rest mode. I did nothing today and my wonderful massage therapist came over. Sounds completely perfect to me !

I'm getting ready to take off again in less than a week for the UK. I'll start making some new samples tomorrow and rethinking what suitcase I need to pack.

June looks to be a busy month travel wise. Right after I get back it's 'Ranger U', then a quick trip to Florida followed by a side trip to Washington DC with Jennifer and Jared and before I turn around it'll be CHA summer in Chicago.

Where'd the summer go already...it hadn't even started !!!

so...I'm using this space to invite you to a way cool summer school

Claudines newest venture...her 12 week ONLINE class

how could you possibly not love this...it isn't even a question. Imagine what you'll learn.

************

and...over on TIMS BLOG there are cool Distress ideas going on.

 

******************
as for me....well...I'll just use this space to show you a few more exciting things I saw on my travels in California...many from the FABULOUS Anthropologie store in Carmel. Everything I see inspires me & this particular Anthro was really far out !

 

Now I want to put hooks and wire baskets everywhere.

have any old plastic water bottles...check this out

 

They want a LOT of money for these...I'm sure you can make them !!!
 

I am STILL searching for these exact funnels (made in India) which are not for sale..they are a store display and come in a bunch of sizes. Why must they do that to poor little me !!?? Why don't they just sell them.
 

 

and ultra amazing chandelier

bye for tonight...multi tasking as I watch So You Think You Can Dance...

and, moving on....

Hi Suze-
I was in the area last weekend and took Claudine's class in Reston, Virginia. I learned so many new techniques. After meeting her and realizing what a talented teacher she is, I signed up for her BPS on-line class. She is the goddess of paint as you are the goddess of Utee and Wax!! Have a great trip.

Hello from England, and hoping your journey is easy and amusing..and can't wait for your Ranger shows on QVC- I got your Melt Pot 18months ago from QVC, and I love it! Thank you for the inspiration you pour out on us all, it makes life so much better.
Have been trying your 'faux cloisonne' technique from your videos, and it's so pretty.
Travel safe,
roll on the 8th June!

Love your pics as always! Those people definitely marched to the beat of a different drum...but don't we all???? Ha...at least some of US do.
Can't wait to see you at CHA. People are asking to learn WAX here, too. Got to get that going!!!

Take a breather, take care, and be well.

Definitely a perfect day Suze, loving the seahorse planter & the chandelier, so different...

Dawn Bibby was telling viewers that you are coming over in June, that wax art is becoming very popular & of course she mentioned that you are a very clever lady; couldn't agree more. So looking forward to seeing you demonstrating on QVC, fingers crossed you get to finish your demos before they sell out of all your products. Will be recording of course in case i miss anything...

Thanks for sharing such great finds... Have been brave & sent a project piece into Tim's Distress comp, i won't win but it was fun taking part. Will check out Claudine's blog for details of her course. Forgot to ask do you know who won your decorated camera bag @ Inspired?
Rest well & keep taking amazing pictures for us to share, thanks Suze :-) x
