Sometimes you just have to jump...

We’ve all been told that we need to “take a leap of faith” at one point in our lives or another.  For Gleeful Peacock, this has never been more true.  In business (especially small business) as you grow, you get to a point where you either have to jump, and take a risk; or you risk losing it all. 



We are growing by leaps and bounds here at the Gleeful Peacock studio!  We are about to participate in our second Zulily event (we still are pinching ourselves), and we are so honored to also be participating in the gifting to celebrities and members of the press at the Cannes Film Festival in France!  These two things alone are huge, but we are also going to the Dallas Market in June, and will be going to at least one more market later this year.  Having all of these opportunities means that we need more help!  Our little family is growing by leaps and bounds!  We now have several fantastic ladies who help paint, assemble and infuse love into our one of a kind pieces, and we also are finally going to have some admin help!

We are so excited for the many things in our future, and it’s only because of our amazing customers, shops and supporters that we are able to make this big jump to bring on more help.  It seems to hold true that when you are willing to take risks, and take those leaps of faith, you are rewarded many times over for taking those risks.  Here at Gleeful Peacock, we do things BIG.  We don’t know any other way.  We hope we can be an encouragement to others to dream big and take big risks!  I’m reminded of a quote from the movie Inception, it just seems perfect, “You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.”  It’s a nice reminder that without big dreams, you’ll always remain right where you are.  Don’t be afraid to dream big!

The Gleeful List

In life it is truly the little things that are the big things. Last night as I laid Down to sleep I was experiencing pure glee for one lovely moment. Yes.. the pillow was cold. Total bliss for a small moment overtook my stressed out mind. A few moments later, the crazy over thinking mind came back and I was sending myself a e-mail to think about the little things in life and how in a crazy busy world the little things are what stops me in my tracks and puts a smile on my face.

This is my Gleeful List of the week.

Gleeful List April 6th, 2013 
My number one this week is doodling. I promised myself I would get back to making art again. The first step is to start doodling again. With a lack of boring business meetings in my life now, I have found that this simple joy has left my life. With new notebooks and pens in hand, doodling is my #1 gleeful thing this week. 

I would love it if you would share one or tow of your gleeful things this week! 

Gleefully,
Nikki

Painted Pine Cone Garland DIY


Photo Credit: Prairie Hive

Garlands are one of my favorite decorations.. pretty much all year round. So, I was so excited to collaborate with Prairie Hive for their Winter issue! These ladies are talented and they put out an amazing publication. If you haven't check them out, I highly recommend visiting their site.

I contacted a few of my very talented friends and we each made garlands. I am sharing a DIY on the painted pine cone garland I made. If you want instructions on the other gal ands feathered above you can find them here

Painted Pine Cone Garland: 

Items Needed:
Pine Cones
Jute
Spray Paint
Hot Glue

Step 1 – Spray paint pine cones your desired colors.  This will take a few coats and you will want to spray at an angle that gets the paint into the core of the pine code.  Allow a day to dry. 


Step 2 – Cut jute in 2” to 3” lengths. Hot glue the strips in a loop on top of the pine cones.


Step 3 – Wrap jute in a spiral around the loop and down the pine cone. Creating a cap that covers the glue from the loop. Cut the end and glue to secure.



Step 4 – Cute your just the desired length of garland plus a few feet extra. Start on one end, a foot in to allow a end to tie to an mantle or banister.  Tie the just around the loop of the first pine cone. Tie a pine cone every 6 to 8 inches and rotate colors as you please.




Now you are already to hang up your garland and feel super crafty! 

All these garlands will be for sale at Gleeful Peacock Mercantile

Love, 
Nikki
