Rayvenwood Manor

Guess what I just got in the mail this rainy afternoon and won’t be taking off anytime soon ???

I will give you a clue…it is from one of my most favorite Etsy Shops…Rayvenwood Manor :) The owner of the shop and I have become fast friends as creative minds think alike. “Wink” Wink”…Now we have done trades in the past but this time around it was a very special trade indeed. I am creating a special painting to put in her little sons room which I will post pictures of at a later date.

She in turn has created this beautiful “Memory Bracelet” and necklace in honor of Mazzy!!!

Anastacia has many years experience working with jewelry and so she connected with exactly what I wanted. She listed to my thought’s and memories…took time to really pick out some special charms that would connect with my daughter and symbolize her time here on this earth and special moments that we shared.  I mean this charm bracelet is totally loaded!!! Here is a list a list of everything she put into it…

Cozzy Gloves and Jingle Pups!!!

So this is what I knitted up for my best friend Crystal to keep her warm and cozy in upstate NY…they were a true joy to knit!!! Fingerless Gloves

Fingerless Gloves

If anyone is interested in having a pair of these knitted up to keep their own hands or hands of someone they love nice and warm this year just email me!!! I will also have these up on my Art Buy Us and Etsy sites in time for Valentines Day!!!! They will be priced at $25-$30 range and are all washable.  I will add decorative details such as beads and hearts!!!! SO be on the lookout or contact me with any custom orders!!!!

I Made these cute little guys for Christmas and everyone really enjoyed being "Santa's Helpers"....by the end of Santa's Workshop we had quite a large litter!!!

If any of you non New Mexico residents didn’t get in on this litter (I had such limited time and quantity to go around that I did not get a chance to post till now) …don’t fret, just let me know and I can hook you up with the few that I had still un-stuffed from the ones we were not able to finish…whew!!! Everyone was so shocked at how unique each one turned out!!!

Because it was Christmas and the bum economy I let these pups go at $15….yikes, I know but it was such a good deal that they all were able to find homes for the new year!!! I have the few left to adopt out and ready to ring in this years countdown to Christmas!!! Just email me me with your requests!!!

Ok well I must go for now but will have the latest on my winter travels and upcoming events!!! I would love to hear back from you all!!!

XXOO,

Selina

Still Recovering

Still Recovering from this past week and weekend!!! Had fun…as seen in the “BEFORE” pic…..

then here is my most current state….the “AFTER”…..LOL!!!!

Oh yes it was fun….but took a bit of a toll….it all started with a paint out date on Thursday with my good friend Rob…..

Then lunch with his wife Gina where I got asked to help out at a flower shop for the weekend due to a malfunctioning refrigerator truck…long story…. but needless to say I said yes….

Then it was off to the Wedding Dress Bead A Thon…Thrusday night/Friday morning…yup an all nighter…..but I wanted it to be perfect…so I did what needed to be done….pictures to come soon….10 AM my client came by to wisk me and the dress off for a fitting ….again pictures to follow…..then she took me to a long luch where we awaited my hubby to join for coffee and sopapillias….yummmm…..

I then went home to crash and get the sleep I so desperatly needed before embarking on the night shift at the flower shop….somewhere in the midst of my delirious dreaming I somehow got the catchy tune “Working at the Carwash” stuck in my head but instead of car wash the words flower shop were substituted….yes….welcome to my world……

Anywhoo….I got up in time to pack up a bag as my ride came and off I went…..

I helped out till the wee hours of Sunday….and then I think the weight of the actual day being that of “Mothers Day” a bittersweet day for us, the rain and an oncoming migraine from what my doc says to be a cocktail of exhaustion and circumstance…..so alas that was the parting of me and the flower shop for now….

They are going to give me an arangment of my favorite flowers next time Gina or I get down that way…..SUNFLOWERS!!!!!! As many of you allready know they are my favorites!!! And I am planning on panting the heck out of them….love them as subjects for still lifes…..

Cheers!!!
