I'm looking for ducks while Nutmeg thinks she's gonna find a frog swimming around in December!

I've been having a bunch of fun making tree appliques.  I've been collecting vintage and antique doilies for quite some time and have accumulated quite the pile.  It's really really exciting to have finally thought of ways to incorporate them into my clothing designs.  :)

I had a great time this past Sunday hawking my creations at Ye Olde Low Brow Art Faire in Thornes.  It was fun to meet such a great group of folks and I appreciated the work that the organizers put into the event.  I loved how the old Dynamite space looked full of handmade creations!

In other news, I tallied up my earnings for the year and it seems that this business venture could actually be a way I could make a living if I wanted too.  Imagine that...I could hang out and listen to music while creating creatures and turning trash into treasure.  My dreams would come true!  The only drawback is that I would have to be super intentional about leaving my creative cave, it's waaaaaay to easy to hole away creating and then never get outside to feel the air, hang out with great friends, and peep some nature!  Next year's intention is to be very committed to creating balance in my work/creative life.  I feel so grateful to have finally given myself the freedom to make the time to be creative and I don't wanna lose it!

The tiniest ice cream sundae I've ever had..

I had such a great time vending this past weekend at stART at the Station!!  The Worcester arts community is vibrant and it's always exciting to see what folks are up to.  Here's a peek at my booth set up.  I'm constantly tweaking it so if you have any suggestions please send them along..

This week I've got my nose to the grindstone prepping for another fair this Sunday!  Here's a peek at what I'm up to.

Miniature books made from scrap fabrics and found paper! Yay!
