Some of the most unique jewelry out there, Armelle Jewelry is feminine, modern and delicate. Jewelry that captures the spirit of fun and uniqueness. Designer Caroline Drake was featured on Good Things Utah and in Eliza Magazine just within the last few months. We are so pleased to have her a part of the show this Christmas... and another good reason not to miss this show!
apron strings
You know what they say...aprons don't hold us back, they take us back. I wonder what they would say about reversible aprons?
Or they just help you look really cute when you're helping out in the kitchen.
one wish world scarves and sweaters
Mindy Relyea of One Wish World will be a joining the show this Christmas. Her scarves and sweaters are darling. Each scarf is finished with a little pocket. Inside every pocket is a surprise thought or charm. She believes in passing on goodness and sunshine in surprising places. She will have mother daughter scarves, women's sweaters, little girl sweaters and jackets, and of course logo tees.
Every sweater she makes is an absolute one-of-a-kind. Put together in an "upcycle" fashion, she literally pieces them together from lots of other sweaters to come up with the finished product. She love colors and patterns of all kinds, along with flowers and trees and trims, all of which you will find on every finished product.
gingerbread extravaganza
This gingerbread house just won a blue ribbon in the Gingerbread Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Could you die?... I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing work in gingerbread (click on the image to see the picture full-size).
Lisa Greenhalgh has over 20 years experience in designing and building gingerbread houses. We are happy to feature her amazing talents as part of the show this Christmas. She will be making houses that are just a little bit smaller than this scrumptious castle, although she will make special orders... Each house she makes has a different theme, from the fun 'Polka-Dot Place' to the 'Chocolate Manor' there is one that will tickle your fancy. They smell delicious and will charm young and old alike. It's a Christmas tradition your family will love...and they make wonderful gifts!
banners
Bridget McKinley, clever and crafty to no end, is joining the Beehive Bazaar this Christmas. Her banners are darling, amazing and much cuter than anything I have seen in stores. I hear she might be making birthday hats too, you can see a greenish one in the foreground of the first picture. I think I need one for every occasion. Check her out on her blog, she's got some delicious culinary ideas that might leave you hanking to whip something up in the kitchen.
gourds
Ana Roberts gourds are back! She does such a great job, I can't wait to see what designs she comes up with this year. She makes a wide assortment of large gourds like- Santa and Mrs. Claus, sugarplum fairies,(pictured above, she has the cutest wire wings on her back you can't see in this picture) snowmen, and elves. She makes smaller gourd ornaments as well, Santa and snowmen... great for gifts or a little treat for your own house.
A little bird whispered in my ear...

back at work
It's been a crazy beautiful summer, but now it's time to get back to craft'n. Here is my work space, I just got these drawer and box inserts for my IKEA Expedit shelves- I love the perfect fit.
Ahh, my new smaller Expedit shelf, I love the cubbies for organizing fabric, books and all the other stuff that piles up..
Things are a little messy, I've got a few projects already underway. I'm trying to put the blocks of time I have when the kids are at school to good use.

special thanks
Here we are, (l to r: Stephanie, Colett, Molly, and Noelle) just after the clean up Saturday night. Happy with thai food in our bellies, but very tired.
The Beehive Bazaar was a great success! We love our new location!
Thank you so much to Gallery One Ten, and Art Access of Utah for sponsoring us, and opening your wonderful gallery for our use. We couldn't have done it without you!
We would also like to thank our vendors, without all of you and all your hard work, we would just be a few ladies craftin' in the basement.
