Living in a Snowglobe….
Kinda feeling a bit like this bird right about now:) LOL…I have a lot of things going on between a private commission, wrapping up images for the new book “Furbily-Furld”, three paintings for a show in Oklahoma…and then managing my Etsy & iCraft shops….whew!!!! I am so thankful & blessed for each and every one of these opportunities. It keeps me strong and makes me work that much harder. I am so blessed to be able to do what I love for a living.
On that note I was just notified that I was selected to present a workshop at the Compassionate Friends 33rd National Conference, a workshop based on the book I illustrated for “Nikita”s Journey”!!!
TCF National Conferences
“Reflections of Love, Visions of Hope” is the theme of The Compassionate Friends 33rd National Conference which will be held in Arlington Virginia July 2-4, 2010. The event will be held at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City promising a beautiful venue for the 33rd TCF National Conference. Independence Day will not only feature our Walk to Remember, but will include a world-class display of fireworks over the National Mall, visible from Arlington.
What an honor to be able to reach out to others this way and to do it in Mazzy’s memory!!! I just know that Mazzy would be so honored to know her life and spirit is through this book helping others heal. Putting together this workshop is really exciting!!!
I feel like we have been living in a snow globe:)
A look outside my studio window:( The lovely trees are now gone…so sad to see them in all their beautiful glory brought down by the snow and ice. They shall be greatly missed!!! I just hope new ones get planted soon!!!
We were pleasantly surprised when our dear friends showed up outside and plowed out our driveway and sidewalk with their ATV with a plow attachment:) So completely thoughtful!!! We are truly blessed to have such awesome people in our lives:) We were so snowed in that we could not even make out the front door:)
We got a LOT of snow:) All I could think was how much Mazzy would have LOVED it!!!!She loved the snow:)
~Cheers~

It’s all about the Bag!!!
This is the larger one 
This is a view of it on so you can get an idea of size.
This is a view of the bottom Gusset!!! Lot's of room!!!
This is the view of the one on the inside and you can see the large pockets!!! I am going to add on a sunglass pocket as well on the ones I am about to make:)
This is the picture of the smaller one!!!
This shows off the inside of the larger bag...I made matching Zebra pockets!!!
This is what I have been sewing!!! I had orders for these that I had to fill and it was interesting working on them…my friend Christie had made a few for me for Christmas bc I was too swamped with badge reels and pucker pups!!! So these were fun to do…they are so much fun to wear too!!! There is so much space in them and I love to deep pockets!!!
These two bags were made from zebra minky and black corduroy. So soft and yet strong!!! These bags will hold a lot’s of stuff!!!
I’m going to be making more…I have some snow leopard minky and pink camo just to name a few…
I am also going to be using some of my MM deer fabric to make some of these beauties!!!!
These are going for $45 custom, not bad for an well crafted handmade bag I have to say…in fact a steel!!!
I can monogram and embroider them for you as well!!!
So let me know if you want to pace an order!!!!
~Hugs~
