Talent!! - VazquezSounds Adele- Rolling In The Deep (Cover)

WOW!!

Kids these days, so talented!
Just sharing the inspirational love....

Three young siblings from Mexico are attracting heavy attention for their cover of Adele’s thumping pop anthem, “Rolling in the Deep,” to the tune of nearly 3 million YouTube pageviews in just 12 days.

Siblings Angie, Gustavo and Abelardo Vazquez — known as VazquezSounds — uploaded the video Nov. 10. Aside from netting massive pageviews, the video has helped the band’s recently created YouTube channel break into the top 40 most-subscribed channels for musicians in Mexico with 24,000 subscribers.

VazquezSounds has been featured on Good Morning America, CNN en Español and other media outlets.

Here’s a breakdown of each sibling’s age and musical talent, which is on display in the above video:

Angie: 10, vocals, Gustavo: 13, drums, Abelardo: 15, piano, guitar and bass

Hooray!! Finally, a new studio space!!

At long long last, I have a studio space that's big enough to spread out in,
and fit all my bits and pieces....I have A LOT of art related bits and pieces, ranging from vintage material, to half painted canvases, to a pretty fancy button collection, to random bits of vintage paper from the world over, to beads that I started collecting when I was 10, to a book collection dating back 100 years, to a fine collection of spray paints, to an interesting array of match box labels from India, Sweden, Austria and Germany......
I think I should stop here, I'm starting to look like a freak!

I am loving the space, and being able to create daily.
I am super super excited...so I thought Id share it with the blogasphere!

Life lately has been all about creating.
Life is just fabulous =)

The Sillier than Sally design label is getting its fair amount of attention lately.

Cara (my sister) and I are designing a fabulous wearable art and accessories line...starting with clutches
and bunting...moving onto jewelry soon.
The design line, is fresh, funky and a little bit fruity, it will be for sale soon at the markets and boutique shops...More to come on that in a later blog =)

In my excitement I have taken some photos of my new studio space, to some it may look slightly like my dads dining room/bar room....but that's just silly talk =) =) Its MY studio!

Our mascots and visitor's we have had recently.....

And yes in case you were wondering those huntsmen were the size of my fist.

Big fellas!

Well I have shared, now I am exhausted form all the excitement, and I'm off to my labba.
So much happening in the Sillier than Sally world.
Will talk again soon.

Vintage fair inspiration images.

I love the colours and whimsicalness of this lovely outdoor setting. 

You just want to get lost in it all.... and stay lost.

Settings like these so inspire me and I will be incorporating lovely similar imagery into my own engagement party, which is coming up soon. 

It has been a lot of fun hunting in op shops, online, at markets and rummaging through my own glorious horde of treasures,  to find all the different bits n bobs that will (hopefully....I think my man has his doubts about my hoarding ways =) come together in the end to add to a fabulous day.

My fabulous creations

I  LOVE to create all sorts of different art, whether you can hang it on a wall or wear it, im not fussy I like to do it all.

Here is a little lookie see at my Burlesque Mini Top Hats, which I am obsessed with creating at the moment, they are so fun and fancy free. 

I have only just touched the surface with my designs so far, and I am looking forward to delving into all the different types of creations that it is possible to come up with these hats. 

Sooo many possibilities.... Striped, floral, muted colours, girly, bridal, earthy, baroque, vintage, feathered...... the list goes on. Its all so exciting =) 

Each one is unique and completely hand made.

I so enjoy sourcing all the different materials used for the hats.....Im like a little kid in a candy store, when i'm on a material shopping spree... from vintage material to damask to wool felts to heavy satins and silk's.... ahhhhh I'm getting all warm and tingly just thinking about it!

The fab thing, is that most of these hats have walked out the door.... I am looking at creating more, when I can get the time (time is something that I never seem to have enough of ) and will be hopefully opening an etsy store in the near future.

So enjoy

Vintage summer days.
