Katie Bee Creative bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

My name is Katie Watson and I live in Southern California.  I'm married to a Navy Pilot so we have traveled the country coast to coast calling many different states our home. I am a Mom to 3 children and 2 cats. I am on the Design Team for Maya Road which I Love, Love, Love!! I love vintage anything and everything...I would rather rummage then organize and am just plain happy when I'm doing some form of art! I love mini books and altered projects and would describe my style as shabby chic mixed with thrift store randomness.

~The thing is….~

The thing is……..this waiting is driving me crazy.  I feel suspended in motion…………like I can’t start anything new and can’t finish anything I’ve started.
I’m just waiting.  Waiting to hear from Dad, waiting to hear how he is or if he heard from the doctor.  I suppose i’m in shock.  I can’t believe he has cancer. ...

~Watering my spirit one drop at a time…..~

This is not a crafty post but a Katie randomness post  You may relate to it.  You may just think I am a nut job.
We have a pretty big piece of property.  The former owners of our house were some older retired people whose only activity was to garden.  The woman had a magical touch...

~The Day the Angels Cried~

That is the phrase that always comes to mind.  The Day the Angels Cried.  It was a Creative Therapy title and topic that I used for catalyst One Hundred and Fifteen.

I remember this  day, 2 years ago.  I couldn’t tell you what I do most of any day but that day I remember a few...

~Motherhood and creating~ more of my randomness….

Preface- The banner heart pieces below are from a swap that I did a while ago.  I created these pieces late summer/early fall 2009 to do a “CREATE” banner swap with some other creative ladies.  I obviously had the “T” to create for everybody.  We did a requested  color scheme for each person and then...

~Reflecting on Reflections~

Wow, wow, wow.  I could sleep for days.  Really, I could.  On my way home, I pulled over at a rest stop because I could not keep my eyes open any longer.  I was totally nodding off while I was driving.  So, I pulled over at a rest stop with a pretty view of the...

Tough Love

Tough Love.
In the hardest, most scariest way ever.
We finally won the fight with our insurance to get Cory into the hospital in Virginia.   We had a small team of people helping us.  A psychologist, our EFMP coordinator, my Dad for support and Derek and I.  Cory was  still agreeing to go.   He is 18,...

~October Afternoon~ Well, you knew that I loved it…….

If you know my work then you know that I love October Afternoon’s product.  I love the vintage feel to it, I love the colors and the fun patterns.  I love the quality.  Every collection makes my heart skip a beat.  I have stopped by their booth almost every CHA for like 5 shows, just...

~Moving forward~

Moving forward and trying to catch up.  Some days I feel like I just run in a circle all day.  It’s my fault.  I realize that now.  I have always had anxiety, oddly enough it has never been diagnosed.  Why, I don’t know as it is so obvious.  It just never reared it’s ugly head...

A Peek of Color! and a few random things!

Sorry, so few blog posts lately.  Life really does have a way of putting blogging on the back burner.  I wish I had a laptop, if I did then I would cart it around with me more and in my “quiet” but “not upstairs hiding away on the computer” time, I could actually blog more...

~I didn’t mean to be gone so long….sorry!~

Sorry, just know that life has been tough lately.
We are battling with my son’s mental illness and it feels that we are losing.  I’m sorry to be so blunt but I have to go there, right now.  I just got home from visiting him at the hospital.  This is his 11th psychiatric hospitalization.  I have...
