It all started out like this:
Hands On Design released a year long ‘To The Beach’ series that debuted at Nashville market last year! Bill & I adopted 3 flamingos and asked them to join us on our Nashville market experience. We had a ball!
They stayed on at our house when we got home from market…after all, we have an empty nest now…(sorry, had to go there)
Enter, Nashville 2017 preparations!
Flamingos recquire a whole lot less water than I realized. They actually like hanging out with the plastic boxes in the inventory room.
I found them sitting around here when I had to break the bad news that they would not be making the trip to Nashville this year.
I thought they took the news rather well…
…but apparently I was wrong. Instead of sulking, they took to partying in our living room. I honestly didn’t even know they could walk up the stairs from the studio!
I guess Wild Kingdom got the best of them…flamingo hangovers all around.
It was either the unseasonably good weather or flamingo hi-jinx…they thought about filling the pool…
…but opted to work on their tans instead (how on earth can you tell if a flamingo is sunburnt?)
Apparently I have to monitor their viewing of the Cooking Channel…they tried out a few recipes. (amazingly, they cleaned up…I couldn’t even tell they were there!)
I guess their cooking wasn’t good after all…they went foraging in the yard (I’m glad they couldn’t open the fridge!)
Bill & I pulled into the garage late Monday night to find the flamingos hatched a plan to not be left behind again! (still wondering how they got the seatbelts fastened?)
NOTE: I want to assure you that no flamingos were harmed in the process of making this blogpost!
MANY THANKS to my friend Lorna who kitty sat & set up all of this fun! I had no idea she was planning to do this until the evidence/pictures started rolling in!!
Here’s a peek at the Hands On Design Nashville 2017 releases! Call your shops to order!
I have been getting MANY emails & requests for this guy (bees…no flamingoes??) Just Bee was a limited edition kit I did in 2014. I will bee re-releasing the chart here soon (I’m working on some extras for it!)
Have a stitch day!

Looks like Lorna and the flamingos had a grand ole time while you were away in nashville. Loved seeing the pictures.
You mentioned working on some extras for “just bee”. For those of us who already have that one, will we be able to purchase the extras without having to buy the original chart all over again? Just wondering.
Thanks Cathy…final plans for Just Bee are still buzzing around. Just Bee, however will be a new chart – the old chart will be included as a bonus for those that still want that one & hopefully love the new add-ons as well! It will not be offered as a kit as the first one was.
