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!

We Went Camping

It was the best.

It was also rather exhausting in the best way possible. 

I came home feeling totally worn out but refreshed. 

Also, probably by no coincidence, I started reading Last Child in the Woods when I got back. I am not far into it but I do love it. It is about the new relationship between children and nature. It is an eye-opening read. If you are a parent or are thinking about being one some day, read it. Then go play outside.

It also starts each chapter with a quote. I personally love that in a book. 

There was a child went forth every day, 

And the first object he look'd upon, that object he became,

And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day,

Or for many years or stretching cycles of years.

The early lilacs became part of this child, 

And grass and white and red morning glories, and white and red clover,

and the song of the phoebe-bird,

And the Third-month lambs and the sow's pink-faint litter,

and the mare's foal and the cow's calf,...

-Walt Whitman

It was a fun little outdoors weekend but I need to get back to work. I am excited to be a part of Art Fair 562. It is soon and I have much to do to get ready.

Avia's work. 

She discovered Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Animals and found her own love of drawing. This I also love.

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.
