Home is Where the Heart Is

Some Craft Athens Team members are showing houses in the Home is where the Heart Is auction. Please come and see houses created by Jangles, Genevieve Gail, and Sugar Cookie!

Here is more about the event from Genevieve Gail:

The event will take place at the Lyndon House on Friday, February 20th from 6-8pm. All of the houses will start at around $20 and bids will go up in $5 increments so you can get an awesome piece of local art for a great price! So, if you live in the area and want to get out and support your local Athens Area Habitat for Humanity come on out!!! We will have hors' devours and a cash bar and then you can grab a great dinner downtown afterwards. There, I just planned you the perfect Friday night date- ha ha. Oh, and if there is anyone interested in donating but can't make it to the event please shoot me an email and I can get you in contact with the Athens Area Habitat for Humanity peeps.

Sale on Ducklings...

I just spotted this adorable print called Ducklings for Sale in the Shutterstitch Etsy Shop. This print makes me ready for the warm days of spring! This print is so cute and reminds me of this video from Sesame Street where the little baby chick hatches from an egg. It used to drive me to tears as a child because I thought it was so cute.

LOVE

There is the LOVE performance coming up on February 6, 7, and 8 at Canopy Studio and I am in this show! I posted all about it at Rancho Cocoa! I hope you can come!

For Your Walls...

I have been looking at my collection of art and trying my best to get it framed and put on the walls of our home. I have been doing good, but I am always looking for new art to decorate the walls. I have been inspired by some of my favorite decorating blogs, Apartment Therapy, Design is Mine, and Designsponge, to name a few.

But you don't need to look far for something to spruce up your walls. Just check out some of the Craft Athens Etsy shops.


Cindy Jerrell of Black Cat Graphix has been one of my local favorites for a while. I love her style - to me it is like stepping into another time or place. And if you have ever met Cindy, you might think she looks like her art - and to me she does! I always love seeing her work grace the cover of Flagpole each October!


Joe Havasy is another local artist I admire. The amount of work he produces is unreal, and just check out the detail and color! I also like all the characters that Joe imagines. There is one for every personality! I check Joe's Etsy shop often because things are always changing, and I like to read his comic in the Flagpole, too.


I met Cathy for the first time last year. I have seen her art here and there downtown. Her Etsy shop is called Kitty Butt. Look at that little kitty! Just look at those eyes! Now I gotta go and give my kitty a great big hug.
