Hope That Your Christmas Was Merry!

 I have used this tree for about twelve years now, I purchased it for $40 it was a floor model and the store was going out of business. It has served us well over the years, I do need to add lights to it now since a bunch have burned out and we can't seem to figure out how to fix.

This has been in every tree since our first Christmas together, my mother gave it to us and it is showing it's age but I just love my two turtle doves :)

The ugly sweater party was a success!

And this little man has been a delight!

To each and every one of my Etsy, Handmade on Amazon and pop-up customers,
you are amazing and I am thankful for each and everyone of you. The response to my artful pendants has really helped my home based business to grow in so many ways.

Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

Lucky Black Cat

Never too early for Halloween Shenanigans!!!

This handsome fellow is ready to come and help celebrate Halloween with you.

 

He is a sweet celebration mate and will always laugh at any and all Halloween jokes.

 

A wire armature was used so that his arms and legs and tail can be bent to many positions,

 and to assist in helping him to stand on his own.

I made his Trick or Treat bag from a small orange bag and decorated it with one of my Halloween artworks.  It has a wire handle and can be filled with your choice of sweets.

The crepe paper covered mast that he holds is also displaying another piece of my holiday artwork the scary cats inspired by vintage ones. The mast also aids in helping Lucky to stand on his own.

He is listed in my Etsy Store and here is the link:

It's been awhile.....

since my last posting here. 

The summer flew by and it was a busy one!

Lots of family time...

 

 

 

and jumping in muddy puddles!

 

 

 

Now that it's autumn and back to a regular schedule (of sorts, lol)

I am busy listing and creating and getting my show schedule firmed up.

 

The Bone Sisters are currently keeping me very occupied.

 

They adore posing for photos...

 

 

and traveling......

 

 

and a day out!

Enjoy your day!

 

Houndstooth the Owl

Finished....almost.

I tried to use almost every part of the old coat.

The buttons on the front and back.

The interfacing on the top of the wings and around the face. 

The satin lining under the wings.

Still a bit more tweaking to do but

I am excited for how he looks so far.

I thought that this old coat was a tweed, but a good friend reminded me that it is houndstooth.

So I am calling him:

Houndstooth the Owl

Country Living Fair is Next Week!!!!

As always it's down to the wire for me. I have been busy the past few months but the two weeks before this show I am in frantic mode.....

 

 The Bones Sisters are getting primped and

 ready to go!

I am having too much fun with these sweeties.

Busy Day in the Studio

 I spent the afternoon sewing the pieces together for this years batch of 'Bones Sisters'

There are two left over from last year which was the first year that I designed them. 

This year I will have a limited edition of 12.

 I want to have them ready for the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, NY in June.

New art is also being created so new prints and some other ideas that are in the works.

And this guy, my sweetie, Rocky is so tired from supervising lawn mowing by Lou

and sewing by Sue. He is having a little nap time....
