Three Little Witchies all in a row - Off to Country Living Show they will go...........

Inspired by New Trinkets and Fall colors

This has been an emotional and challenging Summer for me. From a family wedding to a family death. From a healing memorial to a dear sister-in-law's fabulous 50th birthday. A traveling husband, reunited with a dear niece I haven't seen for years that has now become an amazing little lady instead of the little girl I held dear to my heart. I have seen pain and sorrow in my beloved brothers eyes that is so lost right now and trying to accept that I am powerless to the changes he must face to have a functioning life. Time and emotions have been stretched to a near breaking point for me. From tears of pain to tears of joy and laughter, I have chosen to just embraced it all and feed my spirit and grow. It all builds character and humbles me to peace. I must do my mental therapy - create !!!!!!!  I have seen cancer's ugly handy work ravage another family member and have so much anger. Cancer is evil.

Little Women

Oh what fun creating these little ladies!

They will be dangling in my vintage cream colored feather tree

 at the Country Living Fair in the Fall. Wow - it's just around the corner.

When Willie became Willamina.................

 A few posts ago I introduced the start of "Willie the Weirdo"

Well, Willie became "Willamina"!

What can I say, you just never know what will manifest!

I just adore her. I am beginning to hold on to my creations  for the Country Living Show in September. If you are interested in Willamina, just email me. She won't be listed on Etsy.

Happy Summer!

What is on the table tonight??

And you thought it was food!!! Ha

 I have been so eager to make something with this new fabric I picked up on my last trip to North Carolina. It is gorgeous and luxurious in it's feel and color palette. So a jacket it is for this chap!

Ta Da! Now for the fitting. I can't wait to get to the hat!!!! Oh, you know that is my favorite part! I am all about coats, jackets and hats!

The antique button on the top of his vest has the initials G.B. - I will need to think on this ole chaps name. Maybe Sir Gerald Barnabis ?? or Geoffery Buckhorn.  So silly - stay tuned...............

Wee Willie Wierdo - Pumpkin man in the works.......

I just love this guy! Pumpkin headed and Halloween odd dolls are my all time favorites to create. Meet "Wee Willie Weirdo" Hmmmm, I wonder what the rest of him will look like. I've stabbed my finger so many times today it's crazy. Gotta love using the kids Spongebob band-aids.

Yep, That's Me..............

Yes, This is me............... running chicken with my head cut off. Lol!!!! We made the big decision to put our house on the market with plans to move to North Carolina so there has been a lot of cleaning and de-cluttering ( as if that is possible when you are an artist) The kids have just a few weeks left of school and there has been lots of weekend activities! Phew, I'm pooped! Tonight I am carving out time to get into the studio and shut the doors -  back to work and focusing is a must with shows in the Fall. Argh!! I am sometimes not the best juggler but it is "one day at a time" right??? OK, yes really this is one of my beloved chickens Miss Magnolia Pearl making a run for it as my soon to be 4 year old son Eli is chasing her. Wow, the Shenandoah Valley has been a beautiful piece of heaven for us here - it will be a bittersweet move when the time comes. Peace and Love to all.

Sweet Ghoulish Girl = Miss Pearl

Sugar n Spice and everything ghoulishly nice. Yep! That's sweet ole Miss Pearl

Getting Back to Work................

 Scattered and distracted is my middle name these days. It's time to get back to basics. I need to get back to my roots of what makes my creative pulse beat.

Fabric always gets me inspired!
