Sorry...

I've been MIA and I'm sorry about that.  I know to have a good blog following you have to be a good blog poster.  Our summer running is all over, and I'm gearing up for fall craft shows.  Over the next several days I'll be showing you some of my newest creations.  

But onto bigger news:  I was contacted a couple months ago from the lovely lady at Noyes Museum of Art Gift Shop.  Someone she knew had seen my Etsy shop and told her about it.  She took a look and decided that several of my items would be good for the shop which offers homemade items from artists around the area.  I was THRILLED to say the least so I crafted day and night and sent off some easy care cactus,  apple change purses, and baby cowboy boots.  They are located in New Jersey so if you are in the neighborhood stop by take a picture for me.  You can find there website HERE

Here are all my goodies before I boxed them up and sent them off.

Haunting Fall Prep

 It's time to start getting ready for some fall craft shows.  So I've been looking for cute ideas and things that are different from what everyone else is making.  First up is this adorable ghost hat.  This is the girl version and I'll be making up a boy version also... I'm thinking with a cute O mouth. 

Here it is all flattened out. And still adorable looking.  And might I add, boy my grass is green.











From the other side.  Still cute.  If any of you out there have a little girl in this toddler range I'd love to do a photo shoot with an actual person... so give me a holler and let me know.

Second up, these fall colored baby converses.  All the fashionable babies will be wearing these this fall.











I'll also be listing both of these on my Etsy page (link on the side).  I bet they'll go quick so look fast.  Also you can special order either in new colors to suit your baby needs.

Princess of the Sea

A friend sent me a pin last night, and this morning it inspired this new piece!  

A fun new wall hanging for summer and beach fun!

In the backyard...

So I've had my fancy camera for almost a year now.... and I've been shooting sort of blind, but for several weeks now I've been taking a class online to learn all the basics and figure out what all those buttons do when I'm in manual mode... well today was a back yard adventure...

 First I followed this finch around for a while till he got tired of me and flew way off.  I did manage to get a couple good shots.

 And one of our lessons was about freezing motion so I'm pretty pleased with this honey bee checking out the dandelions.

 And chipmunks are hard... those little guys move fast and tons of holes to dart into, but got one.

And some cool little mushrooms....

New creations from the imagination!

Merchant bingo

Easy care cactus!

So a friend asked me to make a basket of goodies for her school's merchant bingo! This is what i've come up with! A flannel lined blanket, two small hats, some mixed cards, pear barrettes, and an easy care cactus!

Tiny tins!

Here are the new items i've been working on! First off is a little turtle! He's got a place to swim and a place to sun!

And here is a cute little orange kitty! A comphy bed, food bowls, and a ball of yarn to play with!

And a bunny in his outside nest! I made the bunny black because i had a black bunny when i was little!

I've got ideas for a few more animal habitats! But if you have critter ideas or something more out of the box let me know!
