I have all these items and many more in my shop ready and waiting for Santa.


I hope to get a few more items up very soon so check back.




Also, recently...


we did some fishing,


made pretend soup,


 and made some turkeys. 
Good day!

A Little Fall Update

It has been a busy minute. 

My September Art in the Park show started off  too windy but overall was a good day.

 Among my sales was this pretty card. I wonder what special note was written inside.

After the show, most of my inventory went to Tennessee with my Mother-in-law. She is currently doing a month and a half long craft show at Dollywood and was kind enough to bring my stuff along. I have no idea what if anything is selling. Whatever does not sell will be back up for sale on my Etsy in November just in time for Christmas shopping. 

My prints are currently available. If anyone is interested in the originals they are for sale just not listed. Please contact me. 

Anyway...

Things are getting spooky around here.

My sister visited last weekend and did this craft with Avia. Scary stuff. 

Last but not least, this guy insisted on picking a green pumpkin. I might have weird kids.

Ready for Autumn

I, like many of you, am ready to be done with oppressive humidity and mosquitoes. I want to move on to crisp sweater weather, the crunch of leaves under foot, and the comfort of warm apple cider.
I made this autumn hoop art in my anticipation for fall. 

Among my fall plans is Art in the Park. I am excited. Wish me luck.

It took a little longer than it should have but I finally got my prints packaged for the show and up on Etsy. 





I am looking forward to what this season will bring. Happy September!

Float

 I read Watchman Nee's The Normal Christian Life last spring. He explains the relationship of sin and the Christian better than I have ever read or heard. 

"This deliverance (from sin) is so real that John can boldly write: 'Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin ... he cannot sin' (1 John 3:9), which is, however, a statement that, wrongly understood, may easily mislead us. By it John is not telling us that sin is now no longer in our history and that we shall not commit sin. He is saying that to sin is not the nature of that which is born of God. The life of Christ has been planted in us by new birth and its nature is not to commit sin. But there is a great difference between the nature and the history of a thing, and there is a great difference between the nature of the life within us and our history. To illustrate this (though the illustration is an inadequate one) we might say that wood 'cannot' sink, for it is not its nature to do so; but of course in history it will do so if a hand hold it under water. The history is a fact, just as sins in our history are historic facts; but the nature is a fact also, and so is the new nature that we have received in Christ. What is 'in Christ' cannot sin; what is in Adam can sin and will do so whenever Satan is given a chance to exert his power."

This painting is what came to mind upon reading that passage. 


I sewed cloth onto the watercolor painting and hand embroidered her hair.

Tra-laa Tra-lee Today is My Birthday Lucky Me!

Today I turn 29.
 I am actually turning 29. I know that is a birthday some women have a few times. This will be my only 29th Birthday I promise. It is the start of the last year of my 20's and I plan to use the year well. I am excited to start a new job next week as a nanny to a tiny and very new person. I have many a great plan for this art business I have going. Starting with my first prints for sale!


Other than that we'll see what God brings this year. I feel really great about where I am at and where I am going. I am content. Maybe that finally makes me a grown-up.

Blossoms Fest


Local Northern Kentuckians/Cincinnati folks, please join me this Saturday at the 5th Annual Bellevue Blossoms Fest.


It is a garden themed arts and crafts show. I am very excited to be a part of this event and made this pretty little hoop art in the spirit of celebrating blossoms. 


If you are not local or cannot attend please help me out. Pray there's no rain. Thanks.
