I am participating in a holiday sale this year with many other artists! It will be in Seattle Washington-- Ballard -- and you can get all the details here!

Monday November 14th 2005
I always want to show you everything I make, but of course this time of year I am starting to make holiday gifts. So I will have to hold off on sharing pictures of some things. I don't want to spoil anyone's surprise! For instance, I was waiting to show you this shawl.. I made it for my twin sister's birthday. But now she has seen it so it's safe to share the photos! Click Thumbnails. ALSO-- I have lots of goodies for sale in my online shop and etsy shop--see the links above--if you are in the mood for a little holiday shopping! Finally, I will be participating in a arts and crafts sale in Ballard on Dec 3rd. If you are in the Seattle area, please stop by! Details to come!

Sorry there has not been an update in a while. I have been busy, though. And here are a few things to show you. 2 more pen and ink 4x4s I did. They have already sold but I hope to list more on eBay soon. Also there are 2 autumn pillows I did, 5x5" each, which are for sale in my Etsy shop (see link above.) And the Acorn hat is also for sale in the Etsy shop. Also, the Spirit Brooch which I did for a commission, and the autumn colored purse which was also a commission. I hope to have another update tomorrow or Friday!

Monday October 24th 2005
So, yesterday I gathered up all my artsy supplies in a pile (see below) and started in making stuff. That is several projects, of course. I did not get as much done as I wanted, I never do, but I did make 3 wee little acorns, now available in my Etsy Shop and I also made a pumpkin pie. (Not pictured!) The acorns are wool felt with crocheted hats. Click thumnbails.

Saturday October 22nd 2005

Each is 3" long, made from batik and wool felt, and comes with a cozy little crocheted nest. I also made 2 coptic stitch journals with quilted insets in the covers.

Thursday October 13th 2005
I drew these herons last night... 4x4" each and pen and ink on some nice pale blue cardstock. I like to use micron pigma pens. For these 2 I used 005, 01, and 02. I grew up on Vashon Island and loved to watch the herons fishing in the harbor every morning on my way to school. These are listed on ebay. This weekend I am planning to make wee little critters, birds, etc. So if you have any specific wee desires now would be a good time to email me! As always, click thumbnails for a better view. Also!
