I miss bloggin'. 2008-09-26 10:52:03 I can't say enough how much I enjoy communicating via blogging. It is great - I love all of my "everyday" blogs that I visit. It has been so hard these past few weeks with the new job and the new house and the new schools -( can you believe the amount of paperwork that comes home every week - day? - Oh the school communications should be a whole discussion in itself. I write more checks (all be
A bit of Printing. 2008-10-08 20:59:01 It has been some time since I have had fun just making new patterns and printing. Sometimes it take just staying up to all hours to do something creative. Here are a few pictures of some new things in the shop.The first is a TeePee print. I was contacted by Karen in Australia - to see if I could make a TeePee pattern for her mum who has a TeePee of her very own. It was such fun - and she was s Read more:Printing
Little Gifts! 2008-11-13 13:42:14 Just wanted to post about my new Christmas items. I will have more as the week progresses - can't get it all done at the same time around here. Today was a bit rainy to take photos - but I was actually happy with their color etc. So here's the first of the ornaments - Tractor Set of 2 - all packaged up properly - imagine that!Come back again I will have a couple more cuties to put up later this Read more:Gifts
House on the Hill 2008-11-09 22:54:45 I haven't received the "official" title for this pretty house - yet. I've been calling it House
on the Hill just as I name all of the houses before I know the true address. My hands have been a little cramped lately - with all of the carving - but I have been so happy with all of the finished pieces. ( the third is in-process and will be printed this week.)This will be a wonderful surprise prese
2153 North Alberta 2008-11-09 22:40:31 I'v been busy lately with some lovely House Portraits! Here is a view of the first of two I'm posing tonight. You know - the photos don't do them justice. The colors don't show well with flash and overhead lights. I should have taken the pictures today - with the sun... but the day just went too fast.I think I will take some more pics tomorrow before I send them off. I hope they are well rec Read more:Alberta

Go Phillies. 2008-11-03 11:10:30 We had an exciting time this past week. The Phillies won - which is a great thing for my hubby. I'm not the most faithful of fans as I didn't grow up in Philadelphia. But I'm very happy for all of the people in my life who feel relieved / elated by the big win.I had a wonderful gift from Philly last week too. This copy of Philadelphia Home came on Friday - featuring my custom House Print Tea
I really love Tea. 2008-12-02 22:14:00 It's kind of ironic that I started printing tea towels - as drinking tea is one of my favorite past times. This is a misnomer, however, - as I don't really pass time while drinking. Its more like grab a cup of hot tea in one hand balancing purse over arm - other hand filled with keys, lost mitten, hat, school book/paper - late for school - out the door while two kids ( and dog) bump, pull and Read more:really love

New Kitchen. 2008-11-25 10:09:24 I have not posted many photos of the new house since we have moved in. I really want to post shots - but I have been too busy to take the time to even take any photos. This post is mainly for my mom and sister in Nashville - who have been asking me to show the new kitchen - with the new window. I have one photo - here which shows the new window and the wonderful cabinets below.I really love it! Read more:Kitchen
"491 Crestmont Lane" 2008-11-25 09:44:16 This post is especially for Erin - who has been very patient waiting for this lovely portrait to be finished.I was originally calling this house "The House with the New Baby", as in every photo there was an indication of little one(s). I added the push cart as a reminder to them of these days. Those babies - they get big - and it happens gradually so it seems like nothing has changed. Then yo
"Antique" Ornaments. 2008-11-17 10:26:01 Something new to the shop- and I had to post about it. I just had so much fun getting these ready for sale. They make me smile for two reasons - the first being that they really reminding me of my grandmother. When she died I was given her collection of beautiful antique ornaments. Some even from her childhood in Ireland - so I had to immortalize them in these. And secondly - just because the Read more:Antique
