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~



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~
