Busy Bee!

Busy Bee- that's me!  I have had a couple of 'secret projects' that I wasn't able to post- until now!  Not going to write a ton...actually feeling a little run down and my bed is lookin' pretty awesome right about now...but I made some stuff...here it is! -JLG

​...wish I could BEE there...

Our lil' niece Gemma turned 2! John and I couldn't be there for the party, but we sent her presents with Aunt Nancy...and I sent some decorations for the BEE-themed event!

​Shooting for the moon...

Another BIG event- my girl Jessie's baby shower! She and her husband are expecting baby Luke in March and this past Saturday hosted an 'out of this world' baby shower at their house for family and friends. Her best friend Sof enlisted me to help make some of the signs and grandparent pins...and the big ol' chalkboard photo backdrop. I wasn't feeling well so I didn't go around and take pics of everything in place like I normally would...I didn't even get to take a pic in front of the backdrop...oh well...but many folks did :)

​Also on Saturday- my recycled jewelry was in a fashion show!

​I collaborated with local designer Chavela Redd Grayson for the closing event at Continuum West Palm Beach- the 'Melange to Go Pedestal Fashion Show & Body Painting Competition. Chavela made the clothes- I made the recycled accessories! I overdid it a bit and got a little run down (go figure) and didn’t make it to the runway event- but THANK GOODNESS for Adriano Ficarelli, an amazing local photographer! I contacted him earlier and he sent me these photos of my pieces with Chavela’s garments last night. Wish I could have been there to see them in person…but…his images are the next best thing I reckon!
​
Special THANK YOU to Trina Slade-Burkes for thinking to pair me with Chavela, I gotta say, I think it was a good match! Thank you Miss Chavela for your inspiring designs...and those models- gorgeous!!!! And of course to Adriano for sharing his photos with me so that I can share them now with YOU 

...and now, time to sleep...I am sure that this coming week will be another busy one!
