Spring Is In The Air...


OK, so spring has her own ideas about when she should finally arrive. I am catching spring fever anyway in hopes to help push her along some. Saturday was beautiful out in the 50's and it was nice for the kids to play outside all afternoon. I think we all have cabin fever. They are calling for snow this weekend huh?!? I hope not.
This weekend is Valentines day already! I have sold out on almost all of my valentine stockings and have been working on a few custom orders.

I am looking forward to a artist challenge soon, I will let everyone know when that is under way. I can't wait to see what all the artists will come up with. It has not been decided on yet what the theme will be but you guys will be the first to know.

Whats new???
Spring and Easter that will be next so to start them off I have been crafting away and who would have thought carrots would be in such demand lol. I can't keep these things from flying out the door but they are so fun to make. My dad actually thought they were real carrots lol. So here are a few pics of my spring carrots, Hope you all like them. I am off to stuff a witch into the oven but will be back later to post my new easter eggs!

Have a beautifully creative day!
hugs,

One of those mornings

Its one of those mornings after... where you have been up most of the night with a sick little one, thankful that there is pot of coffee brewing and if you can bend over without grunting, or your knees popping your no worse for ware.

After battling the sick kids two weeks ago, the colds and runny noses are starting up again. Ugh! I hate that. Spent last night with the baby in a steamy bathroom. she is so congested I had to give her decongestant and turn on the vaporizer. Its been so cold and with the heat up everything is so dry. I just hope it doesn't swoop through the house again.

Well they took my little guys picture for the paper and set him up with an ice cream party. The boy ate 10 bowels of ice cream lol. They asked him if he wanted more and he said "Im gonna eat til I puke" lol. Only mine. He didn't throw up by the way so that was good.

OK, here is the new project I was working on...had to take a break from all those witches for a bit, but these have inspired me to do witch dolls lol.
I started out with 3 and gave them all names from the 1800s. Isabella is the white one, Constance is the brown one, and Elijah is the black one. They are very extreme primitive stump doll angels and I am so happy with how they turned out. I ended up listing them on ebay but I am hoping to actually make a set for myself.

Still waiting not-so-patiently for spring!

New Work In Progress


OK, whats up with the snowflakes today? Where is spring????

Yesterday I went out and bought a sewing machine that is so badly needed. This hand stitching is for the birds and just takes too darn long.
I put the paintings aside a bit, I have some new projects to work on. I am currently designing some New England Death Angel Dolls and I love them so far. My first has found his home in my pie keep cabinet because he turned out so cute I can't bring myself to part with him. I am sure you have all made something you can't just let go.

My prim sheep are in the oven and awaiting their little faces being painted. I also have heart bowl fillers to finish. I am just everywhere today. I feel creative juices flowing and don't know where to begin.

The website got new graphics and I am so excited with how they turned out. The old antique photo looks just like grandma feeding her chickens! Stop by and see it and let me know what you think. I am hanging up the halloween graphics until just before fall. I really love this one. Witch Hollow Primitives

In the meantime, here is one of the valentine luminaries I did for V-day. It will forever remind me of Flora!
