Mini prints from my watercolors...


I LOVE seeing my original watercolors~ turned mini!
Perhaps it is because I look at the full-size painting for hours...


GREAT things come in little packages...


These little treasures are on their way to a frame shop in Seneca Falls~
(Sherry's Bear & Frame Shop) 
Sherry has a creative touch and does beautiful work with all types of art!
It's fun to walk into her shop... framed prints of mine hanging beside 
prints from the masters... local photographers... 3-D elements framed, etc.
Sherry hand-sews the most adorable teddy bears, too!

Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!

Fabric Journals...


Baby it's cold outside...
It looks like we're in a giant snow globe!
Feathery flurries swirling all around us today~


Furry friends should be staying in their little nut-packed nooks!


Fuzzy hats and wool jammies!


Woolen coats...


Scarves to wear and leaves soaring with wintry winds...


Cozy nests...


Christmas movies that bring us back in time...


Little friends that found their way into many barns & sheds...


Best buddies cozy up for long winter nights~


City sidewalks... busy sidewalks...


Wishing on stars...


Sharing love!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend~
Thank you for stopping by!

Snowman Christmas pins...


The weekend may bring a small accumulation of snow...
So many terms describe the white stuff!
Lake effect~
Snow storm~
Squalls~
Dusting~
The latest term is a "snow event!"
That usually means several inches.


Whatever you call it~ how ever you measure it...
Snowmen are bound to be built!


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas~
I've made my list, checked it twice and tomorrow morning
Alaina and I will leave early for a few holiday sales!


These little treasures are in my Etsy store~
I use them as teacher gifts, secret Santa surprises...
They're perfect for all ages!


Some are made into sets~


Hope your day was filled with perfect memories~
Thank you for stopping by & for so many great comments!

Thanksgiving wishes...


Hope your Thanksgiving is filled with joy!

Giving many thanks for your friendship!

Framed Snowmen & Snowgals...


There's no business like snow~business!
We have the snow brushes in the car...
Shovels at each door...


Lawnmower pushed to the back of the garage...
Snow blower to the front...


Birdseed bins are full...
Pile of suet cakes...


Saw folks putting up their Christmas lights today...
Two beautiful, warm, sunny November days~


Wee little Cardinal...
This little friend isn't in any hurry for snow!


My mom would make snowmen with our son Will~


He liked putting heavy coats on them~
Not to keep them warm... but to keep the cold air in!


No hurry for snow fall~
Prepared...
Dreading... I mean, it will be fun when it arrives!
(I prefer to paint snow rather than shovel!)

These framed original watercolors and more are going to be
in my Etsy store tonight... 
This week I will be adding oodles of winter friends.
Small fabric pieces, vintage linens etc.
"It's the most wonderful time~ of the year..."

So many thanks to each and every Veteran!
Praying for our soldiers & families
currently serving, too~

Hope you have a great week, Sweet Friends!

In a store!


My agent received this photograph from one of the kind
manufacturers we work/license with...
They saw them in a store!
Forwarded the photograph to me and made my day~
Had to share with you, Sweet Friends!

It was in the air...



Snow was in the air and now it's flying around my studio!

Hope your day is going great!

Before hurricane Sandy & after...


As our leaves fall, trees are spotted with hornet nests.
I took the above photograph days before Sandy hit.
The one below, still hanging on tight, battered from the storm.


A stones throw away lives & landscapes have been changed forever.
Praying for every heart~
