Taking Flight in 2013

Taking flight in 2013.

Well, I have a lot ahead of me in this New Year. I will be on a journey I never saw coming. It is a journey of many ups and downs and an unclear path at that. Emotions are on high and creativity at this point is feeling low. I just keep putting the next foot forward and keeping the faith that all will be well. Maybe in due time I will feel comfortable enough to express and share more but for now I feel raw and terror.

My New Years Resolution is to be a survivor and not a statistic.

Well wishes and health to all in this New Year!

Well Winter Wishes............

Still settling into our new home and going thru boxes, painting walls, etc.

So much to do this holiday season.

Wishing all a warm and wonderful holiday season

and blessed New Year!

Greetings From Hendersonville, NC............

Well, we are finally settling in from our big move. We have been tucked away in a cozy cabin in the trees of Flat Rock, NC eagerly awaiting the move into our new home on the 20th of November. I am so excited and can't wait to get my studio up and running again. It is going to take time and patience I know. Lordy did I have a lot to pack up. I can't believe Thanksgiving is around the corner. I have so much to be thankful for this season. Thanksgiving Blessings to All.

Great News - We Are Moving.............

A big move is under way. It is time to say goodbye to the gorgeous Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and sweet town of Woodstock and hello to Hendersonville, NC. We have sold our dear-ole farmhouse and are moving on. It is a great time to buy - crazy low mortage rates and house prices are still low. I am up to my eyeballs in boxes and swimming in a sea of paper and bubble wrap. So much work but wonderful rewards ahead! Hendersonville, NC is just outside of Asheville - gorgeous mountains and a thriving Arts community. The kids are excited about the change and hubby and I are too. I will be taking a break until we get settled in our new home mid-November. What a magical time to move - golden trees, crisp Fall air and Winter's chill just around the corner. Fall blessings to all.

Thank You from the Country Living Show...........

A BIG thank you to all for making this a fabulous show! I met so many wonderful people. Got to see some old friends and make some new friends. It was great to visit with return customers and enjoy making new customers too. It was a fantastic show and I am looking forward to next year!

Here is a shot of some of the mixed media pieces and some of my assemblage doll ornies!

 My sister-in-law is the best!!!! I couldn't do it without her. Hubby was home with the kiddos so it was just us two tackling it all!

 These gals got lots of laughs with those Ta-Tas

Dear friends - yes I agree an odd duo but they enjoyed the antique buggy

I think all of my Halloween items scattered about the booth were gone by 11am on Friday morning! It was a crazy busy early bird opening!

So again, a great big THANK YOU to all my customers, friends, and family for making this an awesome show!

Sneak Peeks for the Country Living Fair

 Sir Bennett and his ladies eagerly await the show in all their finery.

 Here is a quick peek at some things I haven't boxed up yet. I have gotten back into collage and mixed media works. This was a focus and major passion of mine many moons ago when I was in college. It felt so good to branch out a bit and explore textures in a new way again. Texture and textiles are my love - whimsy is a must!

I hope to see you at the fair when the "the pages of Country Living Magazine come to life"

Fall Blessings to all

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.
