CRAFT ADDICTION!!

Could there be?? Craft Addiction?? I think I need a 12 step program. I dream crafts, work crafts, do crafts......ok, ok come back down to earth Wendy, I am just so pumped up about this weekend's craft show. It is just such a nice day for me and Milty, "The Gourdfather" we get to talk to each other and spend the day together.

We miss the kids but Magi and Poppy will be with them for the day!

I am also excited about some press I received! Thanks to Sovereign Bank in Millersville, Pa!

They have selected Blue Rock Gourds to be the business of the month!! Woo Hoo!! I went today to jazz up the bank with gourd creations and did a nice bulletin board spread on the business!

Thank you to all the girls at the bank!

I have been exploring other craft venues for my upcoming Holiday Boutique at my house this December. The date is December 20 & 21 10-7 refreshments, holiday music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHTGdZBzAcU

and my sister's favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix7KgkgNEYU

Hope to see all my gourdy crafty girlfriends in December! Gourd Nite! Wendy

HALLOWEEN GOURD TREAT BOWL!! OOAK!

Gourd Evening!


What a great day!! I am pumped up with creative energy! I painted gourds all afternoon for the up coming Darlington Apple Festival this weekend!


Check out this new creation! A gourd Halloween treat bowl for your foyer! I wish I had a foyer, so mine is sitting on the kitchen table! Complete with a big hole so all those little trick or treaters can pick their own treat and a gourd would not be complete without a spooky spider on the side!

For all my other Halloween goodies Check me out on Etsy! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5911769


Nothing like a little shameless promotion!!


I could have crafted all day and night! But it is late and I have to go nite nite to get up and make the donuts!


I do have to share a really cool website I found over the weekend

SO MANY GOURDS, SO LITTLE TIME!

Gourd Greetings!

I am stressing out about my upcoming craft show next weekend in Darlington, MD.

Darlington Apple Festival

www.darlingtonapplefest.org/

70,000 people, when I stress out, I don't paint till the last minute which drives Milty crazy. I am a wait till the end kinda gal. I work better under pressure. Milty does not!

Here is a new Halloween gourd we will be taking to the fair.

I also have 19 sports gourds to do! Help!! These are the brain child of Milty, I did'nt want to paint them, but they sell.

I won't be using the stickers on the ones I will list in my Etsy shop.....Johnny's is a one of a kind!I have to make up some display pieces and i will be using my two favorite dogs, Brownee and help! I can't remember your dog's name Lisa Flood! Brain Freeze......but he will be used as a model also. For Brownee, it will be stained in red adorned with jewels. For Lisa's it will be stained black adorned with metal spikes. Hope you like them, they will be yours when my pictures are loaded on the shop. Check out the pics!
