Birds Nest in Mustache

My latest illustration of birds nesting in a curled ended mustache. Our 6 year old's Rockstar music teacher has an amazing mustache, (almost like this one, a bit exaggerated) and that was the inspiration. We gave him a mustache print as a gift for the holidays.

Today's Trees

I took these photos at the tree lot on the corner. They're offering some sic colors this year. The mossy greenish-yellow flocked 10 footer sold out right away. It was gorgeous yet a little bit ill looking. There must be something in the water in Los Angeles.....

Strawberry Blonde Snowflakes

I have been busy working on so many different projects and this is one of them that I'm super excited to share:

7.5 ft of snowflakes....48 snowflakes that I've handcut and collaged (no two are alike).

Yay! They're in the shop now!

Who Knew?

When i moved cross country, who knew that I'd end up right down the street from one of the largest Handmade Galleries ever?! Yup, right here on lovely Ventura blvd. in sunny California is 5000 sq. ft. of handcrafting artists space. Makes gift giving so much fun :)

My sister came down for a visit and we bought the cutest little fisherman caps. i love love love this place.

Dresden Flowers

Aren't these lovely! Vintage dresden quilt block florals. I found them on ebay. The fabric is from the 40's.

I think they will look wonderful on a pink and white stripey pillow on my rocker.

Five Minutes of Peace...PLEASE!!!!

It's Not here at the uber early morning, rainy-day, crafter's table,

And while I do love holding S, I've been up alllllll night with him and need a little arm and mind freedom so it's not here........

Aye Aye Aye Look at this mess!
So.........................

It's here for a temporary cozy, mind-numbing space.....

And this corner! for an energetic rocking with my sweet little strawberry-blonde amp(: makes me happy). Unfortunately, we live in a tiny, 2-bedroom apartment (just moved 3 months ago) so there is no loud rocking allowed.

Visit Pip at Meet Me at Mike's and see who is playing at My Place and Yours. Pilgirm has chosen the brilliant theme: Just Five Minutes Peace.

Oh, just five minutes more please!

Baby Elephant

When C was born, my sister sent me a vintage "Sew and Stuff" that had already been embroidered but just needed to sewn and stuffed. Now S has arrived and is 4 months already and I've finally completed the project for little C. Isn't it sweet?!
