Yoga pants from T-Shirt Tutorial
I just had to share this with you girls!!! They were so much fun to make!!! And fast too!!! For this all you need is one big T-Shirt (I used my DH old XXL) and an old close fitting t or tank that you can cut the bottom half from for the waist (I used an old tank). Now I can have a whole new workout wardrobe without breaking the bank!!!

“Thought’s of Marianne”
This is my latest painting!!! I had started this a while back and just left it for a while…I got sidetracked with other projects and the illustrations I was working on for Nikita’s Journey. So this week I picked it out and went back into it!!! I’m really pleased with the way this came out!!!
I was inspired by a Tori Amos song…I know it really does not make an obvious connection to most people but in my own mind….this is where the music took me.
Remember I do requests, so if you would like to have a portrait painted of a loved one or yourself then please feel free to contact me. I will work with your budget and you can always make payments.
This painting is currently available on my etsy site.

My Bunny Love…
This is my latest creation!!! I made her using a white swirl Minky and a pattern I received from http://jennylovesbenny.blogspot.com/ Her stuff is truly amazing!!! I used some of my felt craft scraps for the hat to keep her furry little head warm from the early spring chill!!!
This cutie needs a loving home…
Bunny Love will prove to be a loyal companion during the long work day set next to your computer…tucked away in your purse…a pocket…backpack…you name it and Bunny Love will willing accompany you!!!
She is sure to bring a smile to your face when you need a pick me up:)
She is a very good listener as well!!!
Bunny Love is completely made by hand…hours of hard work and loving effort went into her creation!!! This makes her a true work of art…
Bunny love is made of the softest White Swirl Minky, Safety Eyes, Felt, Ribbon,Floss & Thread, cotton stuffing…oh yes and lot’s of LOVE!!!She measures in at around 5 and half inches!!!
Due to her small size she is not recommended for small children!!! She would love to be adopted out to an older child or adult who is young at heart:)

I’m working steadily on the upcoming exhibit of “If Chairs Could Talk”….I will be posting pictures soon!!!
Last night as I lay in bed I found myself restless….I could not sleep. So I got up a did a few sketches that I thought I would share with you all.
These two are going to be the paintings that I need to do for the Trail of Tears Show in Oklahoma. They just kind of came to me….and I think this is the reason I was not able to sleep…like they were call to me….needing to be let out of my head to escape onto paper. Next they shall move onto my canvas for their forever home….
This was the last sketch of the night….my constant companion…Zoe. She was awoken by me getting up in the wee hours of the morning to sketch. So she decided to curl up in a blanket right beside me and watch until she drifter back to sleep. So I had to draw her all curled up in her dogie dreamland….
Cheers~
