Hide your Candy and Holiday Goodies..... Here Comes Sweet Whimsical Ole Poe

Yep, watch out! He is a candy hoarder and very sneaky. This is his favorite season when folks start to fill their houses with all kinds of goodies, candies, and holiday fixins!

He flies around and snatches it all up and tucks it away for his own greedy self.

He can fly around your house this holiday season!

You'll find Sweet Whimsical Poe in my Etsy shop

Sold!

 Thank you

New Listings in my ETSY Shop

Hello! Just wanted to post that starting this evening Oct. 9th about 7pm EST thru the rest of the week, I will start loading some of my Halloween creations in my ETSY shop. Bear with me though - I have a new computer now and am shifting from old to new. Mavis pictured above will be available along with some of her friends like Pierre, Ollie and Good Witch Ethel, etc. Sooo stayed tuned..................

Norcross Art Fest, GA



gorgeous fountain we were near at the Norcross Art Fest

 

Fabulous weekend at the Norcross Art Fest. Wonderful to meet lots of new customers and see people fall in love with a doll even if they are not " doll people."

 I loved when one lady called my dolls infectious little characters(as she giggled).

 It is so much fun to watch peoples reactions to my work. Even if they don't like it or don't get it - I'm OK with it. I grow from it all.
It was sweltering HOT in the Atlanta area over the weekend and I think it put a "kibosh" on the Fall/Halloween spirit. Soooo I came home with a few of my Halloween works that I will be listing in my Etsy shop this week. Stay Tuned.....

It is just amazing to be back doing what I love after such a horrific year of surgery, pain, hospitals etc. I still have many challenges like eating, nutrition and keeping weight on, but it is starting to feel more manageable now. I feel so blessed to be here. Not only on this planet but right
here -today- present in my life and full of joy. There was a time - not so long ago- that I didn't feel like I would or could ever get to this peace. One of my favorite memories from the weekend was watching my kids sleep in the hotel. I mean really just lay there and watch there angelic faces so at peace and still I see the newborn in them. They are 5 and 7 now-oh how time flies. They fully enjoyed the Norcross show too. Fabulous parks with awesome playgrounds and fountains. And of coarse, let's not forget my rock! my husband David. I'm speechless at times when it comes to him. Always there supporting my creative craziness. I really couldn't do it without him- my right hand man, partner in crime, best friend, supporter and my constant. Yes, I am fighting back tears right now. Oh - I'm a lucky lady.

 Well, I am off to clean my studio before I gear up again for more creations.

 Blessings and thanks to all.

Happy October from the Wee Witches

Sold out- taking requests

Eeeek!

 How very exciting - October 1st

Wanted to share with you my "wee witches" I just finished up some of the detailing this last week.

 I made a few of these little crazy witches for the Country Living Show last year and they sold so fast the first day - I barely had time to enjoy their company. So this year, I made a few more to enjoy for a while. They will be "flying" to Norcross this weekend.

 Shoot me an email for any special requests or interests. 

Cheers,

Lurena

One Little, Two Little, Three Little Pumpkins...............

Seems Mr. Potter found a few friends out in the pansy fields.

 Meet sweet Miss Mavis and dear ole Pierre.

 Lots of detail, love and warm fall colors went into these fine pumpkin folk -Oh how they tug at my heart strings. They will be heading to Norcross Art Fest next weekend. I am still working away and plan to list some Fall / Halloween creations in my Etsy shop in October. Any special requests??

Have a fabulous

 Autumn

 weekend!

Finished, Welcome Mr. Potter........................

Sold

Mr. Potter is finished and back from the garden with his fresh pickins of pansies.
 He is such a warm and whimsical fellow.

I am busy, busy still creating more folk art and dolls for the upcoming Historic Norcross Art Fest in GA. The show is October 5-6th and I am very nervous - it will be my first show in GA and I haven't done a street fair in years. I really missed doing the show and seeing friends at the Country Living Fair in OH this year. But with all I have been thru this year - it was just too much to handle. I am considering the Country Living Show in Atlanta GA next year. It is much closer to home than OH now that we are in the gorgeous mountains of North Carolina. It is truly breathe taking here.
Autumn Blessing to all

My Machine is Back Up and Running..........

Sold 

Yes! My machine is up and running and I am back at it. 

Meet Mr. Higginbottom, he demanded some breeches before I get back to working on Mr. Potter and friends. This poor old chap had been sitting around for some time with no pants or jacket - he said he felt rather " undignified" 

 Huh! What a character

Changing Things Up a Bit

Well, I had been working on all those fun pumpkin people when "kaboom!"

my sewing machine (Nellie) got jammed up and stopped working. I was in a panic but good ole Dr. Tim the sewing machine man has her in his shop and she'll be up and running again soon. I have had the same machine since the early 1980s. Nellie is a German PFAFF - they just don't make them like that anymore - she is worth the $135 bucks to get her stitching again. Ouch!

I have started a batch of my mixed media doll ornies while I wait for Nellie. Love the shot of all the silly heads above. Lots of found objects, beads and wire - they are so much fun to make.

Happy Friday

and

 enjoy the weekend!

Mr Potter is on Today's Work Table.......

Mr. G Potter is eager for me to finish him.

He wants to get out into the garden and pick more flowers for his Fall bouquet.

He is such a sweet little fellow.
