Just thought I would pass on a little reminder that tomorrow (Monday) is the last day for my little collaboration with Caroline's blog I am a greedy girl. Just jump over to her blog, and you'll find all the details on how to save 15% at ALL THREE of my etsy shops (project 8256, amelia mae, and amelia mae paper goods). And, if you buy from multiple shops I will glady combine the shipping costs, so you'll save even more.
Hope your weekend was lovely.

for all you greedy girls (and boys)
You might, just might, take a look at Caroline's blog "I am a greedy girl", because it is entirely possible that she might give you some tips on how to find a bargian at all three of my etsy shops today through Monday. Just a little hint...
EDIT: If you tried the link before and found, as I did that it wasn't working, you might give it a go now. I fixed it, so it should take you to her blog and not an error message. Hints are always better when they actually work.

shop update
I'm ever so slowly getting back into a more natural (for me, at least) pace of things. Which, basically, means that I've been able to start spending time in the studio once again. My new space is all set up, and has really made such a difference. I was able to create a few new pieces last week, and they're now up in the amelia mae shop:
a few new collages:
and a few illustrations on wood:
This week I hope to tinker around a bit with a new idea I have rumbling around. Hopefully it will work out.
Oh, and if you are in the OKC area, my sister and brother-in-law are having a HUGE garage sale to raise some additional (and much needed) funds for their adoption. And by HUGE I mean really, really gigantic. Apparently we know a lot of really generous people who also happen to have lots of things they no longer need. It's this Thursday through Saturday (April 24-26) in Edmond. If you are interested in attending, email me and I'll send you all the info you could possibly want.

playing favorites...
The last month has been an exercise in patience, and also a lesson about my full addiction to the internet. I miss my computer. If it wasn't for the very generous birthday present of a lovely little something that allows me to check my email and manage my etsy shops from something that can fit in my pocket, I'm not so sure I would have any sense of calm at all. Which is pretty sad.
But I thought I would share a few favorite bits of my new place. I've been working away at it, and while there is still much to do, I am pretty content with where it is at the moment. Or at least where it's headed.
Clockwise from top right:
1. This is perhaps the most organized I have ever been in my entire life. What's even more exciting about this picture is that it is sitting in my very own STUDIO space. I am thinking I am going to get to break this room in a little this weekend, and I am really quite excited about this.
2. A small part of a larger art wall. I'm a little in love with the paint color in the living room. It's a light grey.
3. The beginnings of a glove mold collection (with a small porcelain hand thrown in for good measure). My sister finds this very creepy. I think it's lovely and can't wait to find more.
4. Best refrigerator art ever. And I do. Love Tim Gunn.
I've also stumbled across some really great new (musical) artists recently. You might give them a listen. If you into that sort of thing:
- Tina Dico "Count to Ten" - I have a feeling that this is going to get a lot of play in the studio. I like it a lot.
- Jon Foreman "Fall", "Winter" and "Spring" - Three EP's that are really incredible. I really love them all. My dad is a fan too. He especially likes "Winter".
- She & Him "Volume One" - "She" is actress Zooey Deschanel and "Him" is the super talented M. Ward. There is something really charming and endearing about this. If you like Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins "Rabbit Fur Coat" you might like this too.
- Alexi Murdoch "Time Without Consequence". Just really lovely. I was pretty much hooked by the first track.
I'm quite sure I'm forgetting tons, but that just saves more for later I guess. Hope you are doing well. I'm hoping to add some new items to the amelia mae shop this coming week, so keep your eyes open for that.

Amy

still here
1. First off, so sorry for the not-so-great blog maintenance. I have officially moved into my new place, which though amazing and lovely and all of that, is also without a current internet connection. So sad. It's been a little strange to be perfectly honest.
2. I just listed a bunch of new things in the project 8256 shop. Lots of mini plaques. Antlers, wood grain, dear and stumps for all. Check it out.
That's about it. I would add more, but I've been staring at the computer for the last few hours listing plaques and my eyes are going a little dizzy.
I hope that everything is going well with you. More to come.

If you were still considering..
...if you should go to Blue 7 this Saturday (tomorrow!) or not, I thought I would help you make up your mind:
1. I've heard rumblings of a PRIZE WHEEL--and you know that ever since those days when you were "too sick" to go to school and instead stayed home and watched The Price is Right, that you've been dreaming of the day that you could spin a prize wheel. Here's your chance.
2. Mother's Day is right around the corner and you know that your mother/grandmother/aunt/mother-of-your-child will be thoroughly convinced that she raised you right/your offspring is destined for greatness when you give a gift from Project 8256 that is helping a family grow and orphans in Africa at the same time.
3. You love cupcakes.
4. You love Blue 7--so much so that you will wear your "I made out with Blue 7" t-shirt with pride (especially when you know that $5 from that very t-shirt is being donated to Project 8256).
5. You're a multi-tasker who loves the idea of shopping, eating cupcakes, winning prizes, listening to live music, and supporting a great boutique and a wonderful cause ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Weekends will never look the same again.
Convinced? That's what I thought.
So go to Blue 7 at their new location at May and Grand this Saturday from 11-10pm. I'm pretty sure it's going to be amazing.

Exciting news
Really exciting news, actually. Blue 7 (the absolutely amazing boutique in Oklahoma City that has been helping us out over the last few months) is celebrating their 5th birthday, and their new location at May and Grand this Saturday (March 15th). They'll have food, music, sales on their fabulous merchandise and lots and lots of brand new Project 8256 merchandise. Things like:
These little guys. I made 25 total. Each design comes in five different colorways.
And these lovelies:
I also experimented a little and made some shadowboxes. If you look closely, you (hopefully) can tell that the one on the left says "i love you" and the one on the right says "i adore you."
They will also have lots of greeting cards and even more originals. There is also a new print, both at Blue 7 and in the Project 8256 shop:
"I can see a lot of life in you." From a favorite Sufjan Stevens song.
So in other words, you should definitely try to make it out on Saturday if you are in the area. They'll be open from 11-10 pm. Support an amazing boutique and a good cause at the same time. What's better than that?
Okay. I'm back to packing up all of my belongings. Hope you are having a lovely week.

Amy
