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…

Oh so very special and I am wearing both the bracelet and  necklace as I type this :) As soon as the photos were taken they went right on my wrist and neck…I just could not wait;) They are simply gorgeous just like my friend Anastacia .

Thank You Anastacia XOXO

Fresh From the Sewing Room & Studio

This little cutie was a commissioned piece and is getting ready to be shipped off to it’s forever home:)

These pups are always fun to see how they come to life and how each one has it’s own personality!


This lovely little set is a trade:)  Always fun to trade with other artists:)  It’s is on it’s way to the United Kingdom as we speak!!!



This little art doll is of my Norwegian Breaveheart Bears:) So cute and sweet. Made from 100% wool felt. These cuties will add a unique lovable charm to any space. Each and every bear is made by hand and hand sewn by me.

A lot of love and thought is put into the creation of each and every bear. This bear is ready to be shipped to a forever loving home with you:) Now available in my Etsy and iCraft shops!!!



I have been working on building the skin tone of the girls in my current commissioned piece.

It has taken every inch of self discipline to keep from jumping into the beautiful details of the lips and eyes:)



I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!


~Cheers~
