Vegan Banana Bread

Oh yes it is!

Isn't this lovely? I tried a new recipe this cold sleety, snowy, rainy, miserable morning.

 I came across this one in a search and I love it!

 

http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/banana-bread-eggless-vegan-recipe/

I added chopped organic walnuts instead of sunflower seeds and I used 

Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour.

This recipe called for four bananas instead of three and didn't use vinegar

 and almond milk, which is why I chose this one.

All of the ingredients are staples that are in most every kitchen.

It sliced beautifully while still warm and is very moist.

A perfect accompaniment to afternoon tea.

In my journey to eat only plants, this recipe is a keeper! 

Oh and DH loves it too, he's had three slices already. 

Happy New Year!

It was a super busy end of 2016 for me thankfully!

I had shows and stores and orders coming in to make 2016

my best year so far! It was lovely meeting so many 

wonderful people both in person at shows and on-line.

This week I have started sprucing up my Etsy Shop and getting new ideas

organized. Show schedules need to be decided and new art begun.

February is quickly approaching and I have spruced up my photos for 

a few Valentine's Day themed items.

We still have this little one spending two days a week with us and we

love every single second of it!

My first show of 2017 will be at Dutch's Spirits in Pine Plains, NY

http://www.dutchsspirits.com/

It's a huge barn built on top of a prohibition moonshine bunker

that was operated by Dutch Schultz. Lots of very interesting

history here and on February 11th there will be a pop-up show

featuring the Mid-Hudson Etsy Makers and a few Hudson

Valley food producers.

If you are anywhere near, stop by and say hello.

On my Drawing Table - New Series

I started to work on a series of farm animals and did the sheep but then I

 got distracted and never got back to them.

The sheep were a big hit at the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck this

year and a few people asked for goat art.

Here are the first two in a series of four:

 "Billy Loves Daisies"

Needs a bit of finishing up...

"My name is Rose but I Prefer Clover"

I am getting too silly with the titles for these paintings....

but it's fun!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy 4th of July to all!

Land of the Free!

Home of the Brave!

I hope that you all get to celebrate on this special long weekend with loved ones and friends.

Oval Floral Pendant

New Oval Pendant Series, this is the first listing.

It looks so vintage and is a beautiful statement piece.

On My Drawing Table

The Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck NY will be in a few short weeks. Last

year had a conflict of interest for me and I couldn't do it but I'm busy getting 

new art ready for this year.

I will have new designs in my prints in different sizes.

New series and sizes for my wearable art pendants.

 

I will keep you updated as we get closer and I get more photos done.

 

Fingers crossed for beautiful weather!

 

In my Studio

I am busy getting ready for the upcoming show season.

My first one this year will be Sunday, May 8th at 

The Makers Market

Railroad Ave.

Warwick, NY

It's a lovely market and I meet the nicest people there.

Also close by is a Farmers Market and the Town of Warwick

with restaurants and delightful shops.

This new little chickadee will be featured on a new style pendant.

It is an oval shape and I just can't wait to assemble them this week.

I'm still working on this birds eye view of a nest. I'm not at all happy with the background.

While looking for a bit of paper with my mothers handwriting on

it, I found this newspaper clipping.

That is me on the right with my first ever art award, I was in first grade and very

intimidated by the camera! 

Have a lovely week!
