Come by and say Hello.

I have lots of handmade goodies,

along with the other artists.

One of my favorites

This is Toots Red Boots.

She is a prototype made by me

for our last line of bunnies.

The line never got produced.

And her boots are vintage.

I took a silk flower making class in San Francisco.

So here is some of that handiwork adapted to 

Her straw hat.

I embroidered this little ladybug leaving a trail.

 Close-up of french ribbon flowers and buds.

 Cutest little red vintage rubber boots.

They fit her mohair feet perfectly.

Too much stompin!

Toots Red Boots pops a button every time

it rains- please repair my collar...

and when it rains, holler-holler at her!

This is a new tag we made.  Grams

mending shop, fixes all the bunnies

tears and wipes up the tears.

She is for sale, call Cory 

in our retail shop for details.

Still Busy

I am still busy.

I love making snowmen.

This is an 8x8

New style,

collaged, brighter, I like it.

 detail

I like this one, because it's funny.

Don't you love to tease your sister.

I do.

What is funny about this...

is my sister is my mom's 

favorite.  It's o.k.

she is a lovely person and

easy to love.  I am a pain in the

ass...I am embracing it!!!!

Little detail on the top.

I like it.

And mean it...really.

Inspired

A few years ago I took a class

from Claudine Hellmuth.

http://www.collageartist.com

She does very whimsical art, 

that is customized with your face.

So I made this my new business card.

Painting away

I have been busy drawing and painting in 

my spare time.

Here is a sample.

These are 5x7

and all 28.00.

Girl in red dress.

 Listen child

Girl in blue dots.

Hello birdie.

Oh my gosh, I am overwhelmed!

Whew!!!

Our big birthday sale was a huge success.

We had some delightful bunny collectors show up.

It was actually the CAT collectors that showed up first.

Kitties were first out the door.

And Halloween, almost all gone.

So here is first mate Tad

in green mohair, waiting for 

someone to love him.

And

Ginger Bunny.

Our take on a gingerbread boy,

in mohair.

We were pretty much wiped out...

But, we have more.

You can read this, and find more one of a kind

Archive bunnies here....

We will be pulling out more bunnies

and getting them online...so keep in touch.
We will also have them here at our workshop
in Anacortes, if you want to see them in
person.  Mon-Fri...9:30-4:00.

And thank-you all for coming to our

25th Birthday party. 

Sunday...Sketching

Besides carving,

I am also sketching.

These are tiny...

about 3 inches.

I am getting ready Our big bunny sale,

next Saturday...November 5th

I think I'll put a little display up.

Really little!

This is the last business card I did.

I took a class from Claudine Hellmuth

3-4 years ago.  She inspired this.

Oh, yea...it's me.

We have fall up now.  Holiday is coming.

Home again...Home again, jiggity jig

Whew...that was a whirlwind of activity-fun-work-tears.

I am talking about the Country Living show in Atlanta

at Stone Mountain.

It is so much work and effort to put on the Earth Angels show.

Most of us just fly in and set up.

Jen, Michelle and Sue...drive 16 hours in a u-haul

get there hours before the rest of us, and drive home

after taking down the tent...in the dark.

Is it worth it?

Mmmmm at moments..no

At other moments... yes

The reason I do it?

The amazing customers

and

The earth angel ladies.

I love each and everyone of them.

Here are just a few pictures.

Jody

http://jodybattaglia.blogspot.com/

I love.. love.. love.. her.

Funtown creator and all around smartiepants.

She has created a whole world around her charming

and funny friends.  Her book will be out next year,

and we will all be celebrating it with her.

Now is the time to scoop up your little character from her

before they get too uppity with their fame and celebrity.

My buddy and pal..

Leslie the hooker.

That is world famous rug hooker to you all.

I feel fortunate just to stand in her presence.

She is the funniest person I know...

(besides my sister and Jody)

Ahhh. Michele.

A fashionista, all around workhorse.

Sweet and Gentle

Best hugger in the world.

 Sisters

Marie and Melody...

Energy...sweetness, honesty, talent

I could go on and on.

Love them.

And I am not forgetting

Jennifer 1 and 2, Sue, Debbie, Linda,

Roseanna, Letty, and our fearless

leader Jen.

Without her...none of this would be possible.

Here we are at the end, in the dark tearing down the booth.

Oh, my and last but not least.

The Country Living show itself

amazing, quality, classes, entertainment, food.

And Stone Mountain was breathtakingly beautiful.

I did not talk to a single person who did not have

a good time.   

And speaking of all the wonderful people

who attended the event.  They were, nice,

complimentary, appreciative, and fun to 

talk to.  Thank-you for supporting all the

artists and vendors of County Living.

We live to create, and you allow us to do that.

Happy Fall everyone.

See you in sunny Tustin in 6 weeks.

It was so great to meet someone you talk to
on your blog.  At first I was confused when she
was telling me who she was...because I had only ever
talked to her though my blog.  And here is a real person!
It is truly a wonderful medium to meet great people.
I did meet some more nice, wonderful ladies who
said they followed me here.  It was great!  Your real!!!
So nice to meet you...all!

Country living Atlanta

This is our last day of the show. We have been busy, so I have only been out of the booth for one short walkabout. Such a classy show. Everyone one is happy and enjoying the beautiful setting...a perfect place to see fall unfolding.


-I am out and about

Pumpkin Patch

We headed out to the 

Pumpkin Patch today.

Got a little lost in the corn maize.

Of which we had to break the rules

and forge our own trail to get out.

 Sam headed for the puddles of mud,

liked to go in the direction....we were not.

And had a snack of kettle corn.

Good day!

Happy just to run around.

 I love my cousin.
