Merry Christmas...

Would like to wish everyone of you a

terrific Christmas & Happy & Safe New Year!

Bumblebee Lane Studio

has been on hold since November.

I took my sabbatical this year a little early. As it has been so very cold and rain here in Arizona, I have just not been into designing.

I will be back on line in a week or so,

I have lots of new thoughts and offerings to

display for you.

As always,

Silvery Moonbeams to Watch over you and

yours.

Chinese Opera Threater & Black & White Swaps

Where does the time go?

Last I recall it was autumn ...Halloween ...

Now it is almost December 1st! Christmas!

Gads....I thought I would get a head start on the shopping thingy....went into Lowe's ..what a waste of time. First, if you are a gal and have that look on your face that says....This is way beyond my knowledge...sales people run from you!

Actually, I was in the section for air guns, drivers and compressors....guess who wants a combo....well, after almost 40 minutes reading each and every descriptions...I was still in the dark!

I had picked up a block of seeds ... that's about all. The doves and quail who live in the side garden were assured a gift....Nope! went to check out in the garden department...I park there and go in....the gates were closed....and so I left the cart, with the block of seeds, jumped in my car...headed home to enjoy an espresso! No one thing purchased!!

That was 2 days ago! I did manage to finish several of the dolls for swaps. Pictured is my selection for my partner in Pin doll Alley of a Kabuki Clown ...and the little Kimono Bag that I

make for the pins to travel in and for storage.

Starting December....the theme is Santa or his Elf's....I worked on a the face one day....normally I have to do several faces before I am pleased....first one was a good one...today I worked on the

body, hands, and the beset parts...embellishments and hats....She turned out rather sparkling.

I cannot post till it is posted to my partner, speaking of which, this is my second month in a row I am still waiting for my partners to get off their butts and send me my little dolls.

Halloween pin and this month Black and White swap.

The partner I had before ....my pin arrived trashed out. Needless to say I am not getting good results from these three swaps. Mike suggested that I wait till I get one before I send one.

Sounds like a plan to me.....

It has turned winter while I turned my back. Cold, rain and very cold at night.

I wish someone would send me the Christmas Cheer as I am just not in the mood for Christmas!

On that note I will leave you....as always Silvery Moonbeams to Watch over you

Fall is in the air!

Fall is in the air! Has been glorious here in Arizona! Snow Birds have arrived and prices are up, but what the heck, Fall is in the air! Above is the latest of Tea Cozies.

This Tea Cozy is rather small in size compared to its sisters and brothers. It fits a small only. Made in the style of Lady Grey's Puffy Stuff, only it has fabric to shine and not embroidery designs. The fabrics used are silks, brocades, velvets and taffeta ...It is lined in a a chocolate taffeta with bees

embroidered on the inside....I did mention no embroidery? I lied.....lol I have to have some on the things! A bee here in Bumblebee Lane plays a great part of my gardens, and in my embroidery. You can find almost always some of natures ways,,be it butterfly's as large as your head, grasshoppers. frogs,

spiders and such. Bees ...I love the little creatures.

The tea cozy sits on a doily of fall embroidered leaves.....and comes with the tea cozy. It will be on intro price for a short period as it has to make way for the Christmas Cozy that is still on the drawing table....I know, time is short. lol
These pictures do not show the chain of jewels that are attached, glass beads and The Face of the Green man ...to see more of this cozy please go to my picture trail and I will have an entire album on this Fall Tea Cozy that is named...for the leaves and the tiny little face of "The Green Man".

I have always had an affection for nature and the green in life.

Without green we cannot live.
