Mini Art Canvas Buttons (ABEO) for Artists

So, what can you do with the ABEO Art Buttons that I sell in my Shops?

The answer is your imagination is the limit!  They are small mini canvas covered buttons waiting for you to add your art.  They are available in two types of canvas, regular and watercolor.  1.5 inch and 2.25inch buttons.  Anything you can paint on a larger canvas can be painted on these (only smaller).


One talented Jewelry Artisan that creates beautiful wearable art is Connie Owens Art.  She uses watercolors as one of her mediums to create one of a kind artisan jewelry.  This beautiful leather southwest art bracelet is available in her Connie Owens Art on Etsy

Visit her Etsy Shop where you can find this beautiful  Hummingbird Pendant Necklace Spring Colors, Hand Painted Original Art Pendant, Pin or Scarf Slide.

These are just two of her beautiful wearable art jewelry.  The holidays are right around the corner.  She also does commissioned work (get your orders in now-before the Holiday rush).  She is a great person to work with.

How did this much time go by?

I know I have been neglecting my blog this year.  I am hanging my head in shame on how long it has been since I have updated it.

It seems like the days are getting shorter... I know, Einstein, Thomas Edison and all those other geniuses had the exact number of hours in their day! ... Depressing thought or motivational one---you decide! 

Finally the temperature seems to be getting a little cooler.  We rode the Metrorail to downtown Austin yesterday.  There was a gentle breeze, so the walk from the station was a nice one.  I usually sew while traveling, but, I enjoyed the view instead.

I have lots of projects on the table, as usual.  Bows, mini hats and fascinators.  I am also making a new basket style organic coffee filter.  I have only carried the cone sized filter in my shops and it is time to add the basket one as well. 

Happy 2012...

November...A Month to be Thankful

What a great idea!  I borrowed this from friends to post something that they are thankful for each day!  I have so many people and pets that I am so thankful for, some are not in my life right now because of death-crossing over, or for unknown reasons.  I would always chose my children first on my list of the things I am the most thankful for...But, this is a list to write daily. It is my early resolution to try and embrace everyday and stop living in the past so much. It has been so hard for me to move forward.  I know that is why I love time travel movies so much.  Imagine, you could go back and give your Grandmother one more hug and sit down for one last talk or play in the backyard with your kids and kiss them goodnight one more time.  So, I thought I would post something current that I am thankful for each day.
I am Thankful:
1.  ..for the people in my life that love me just the way I am.
2.  ..that I have a home and do not have to sleep on the streets .
3.  ..that my Mammogram came back "normal" today.
4.  ..for my hubby who brings me breakfast in bed on his days off.
5.  ..for my garden...I just cut and dried herbs for later.
6.  ..for my online friends, their support means so much.
7.  ..for my husband's job, that he loves.
8.  ..for cats that run to me for a little love.
9.  ..for my fantastic buyers that visit my shops.
10. .that I was given my Mimi's sewing machine.
11. .for all of my gazillion "hobbies".
12. .for great movies to enjoy.
13. .for the Turkey already in the freezer.
14. .for a little rain (no matter how light)
15. .for a yummy cheeseburger.
16. .that moving our fence is done.
17. .that I have survived another year.
18. .for the Holidays.
19. .for puppies (and kitties, too).
20. .for the beautiful weather.
21. .my new Crepe Myrtle Trees.
22. .that I am done with physical therapy.
23. .my back is better.
24. .for my first cup of coffee in the morning.
25. .the beautiful sunsets.
26. .for freedom of speech.
27. .to have been born after in the invention of air conditioning.
28. .for the cute little ladybugs that visit my garden.
29. .for new people that I meet along my journey.
30. .that sometimes the mail man brings surprises-great and small.
