In the Studio

About one week ago my beloved craft studio had a wee bit of a leak. Err.. well it was a pretty big leak actually.. like the tap for the garden hose had a pipe burst and sent all of the water down into the basement. Not funny.
But it's dry now! Well.. mostly. And for the first time in over week I was finally able to create again! I was having withdrawals. Seriously.

A lovely bride-to-be had contacted me in February and asked me to create a one of a kind hair piece for her wedding day. Naturally, I was honored, and set to work shopping for what I needed. Initially I tried to shop locally, but after scouring the few resources I have, I had to turn to online shopping. I'm more of an online browser than an online shopper. I do love to sift through pages of beautiful merchandise that I will most likely never own, even create a faux shopping cart sometimes, as though I'm really going to go through with it! But alas! The realities of exchanges rates, taxes, shipping charges and the inability to touch or closely inspect will end my little charade in a quick hurry!

However, in this case it was a necessity, and I wasn't going to let my girl down! Weeks later I was finally able to sit down and create a flower fit for a bride 0n her wedding day :)


Happily, she loves it! And so did another Becoming Paye FB fan who viewed it, because I now have another bride who has asked me to create a special flower for her wedding day.

Online shopping, here I come!
