More New Ornaments!




This is an example of my latest ornaments. I used mini prints of my original work along with authentic vintage Christmas sheet music (and other snippets) sandwiched between two pieces of glass and soldered together. These ornies have two sides and are embellished with glass beads and ribbon for a "one of a kind" treasure give as a gift or keep for yourself! I just listed the first one on Etsy and will be listing more as I finish them and have time to photograph and list them. I think I will have 12 in all--and when they're gone--they're gone! Have a great week, everyone!

Surprises for Etsy!


I am busy working on lots of surprises for my Etsy shop. I hope to stock it up in the next few weeks with many one of a kind treasures for your holiday shopping. I still have my very inexpensive ($2) mini prints in the shop and a few original folk art paintings. I will be adding lots of ornaments, pendants, etc. featuring my artwork. Also, I have been creating some cute little needle felted animals while I watch TV (dangerous for the fingers). I'll let you know when I am ready to stock some new things. The link to my Etsy shop is at the top of this page or in the sidebar. Have a wonderful week!

Fox in the Golden Woods


Today was a beautiful day! My family went to Deutsch Country Days in a small town an hour outside of St. Louis. It is a working German farm where they demonstrate tons of early American crafts, woodworking, cooking, guns, etc. There were some beautiful things to see, as well as yummy German food. I ate way too much. Besides an authentic German lunch, we had fresh sugared kettle corn, chocolate dipped molasses puffs, anise springerles, and homemade root beer!

I love the golden glow of this time of year, the way the sun hits the fall foliage--casting a golden hue to everything. This painting, Fox in the Golden Woods, was inspired by how I see things during my favorite season. It will be on Ebay sometime this week. The link is at the top of my page.

Let's Eat Spaghetti!


This is my latest painting, Let's Eat Spaghetti. It is pretty self explanatory for the Thanksgiving holiday. I wanted to show it close up so you could the little tear on this sad child's face. After all, he or she raised it from a little chick! I will list this one on Ebay tonight.

Little Red


I haven't painted a Little Red Riding Hood in quite awhile. When my daughters were little, I made little red wool capes with hoods like this. They loved them and looked so cute dashing through the woods in them! Luckily there are no wolves residing in our woods--only deer, foxes, raccoons, and bobcats! This Little Red will be up on Ebay sometime this week~
