Back To Work

Hello Everyone~

I wanted to let you know 

that I am back to work~

although still on a light schedule.

The Etsy Shop is open 

and I am ready to pack orders! 

A click on the shop banner above will take you there 

~*~

Many have asked

 about the bunny in the Peat Pot~

and this is the pattern that I used. 

The body has to be cropped 

and adjusted to fit your pot.

How fun, right?

And you can always go through 

the shop and see what else would work~

like...

or

and if you just can't live 

without a touch 

of Halloween

A Pumpkin head would be fun! 

Use your imagination

 and let the pattern 

be a tool to let your

creativity 

and 

vision to shine through!

My New Hand

Well...new to me.

"Stacey Scissorhand"

and

"Frankenhand"

have been met with lots of giggles!

Tomorrow,

it will be a week.

Two procedures at the same time

has proven painful,

but it has gotten better each day.

Tim has been wonderful 

and beside me all the way~

he is a wonderful caregiver.

As the swelling goes down,

I am beginning to feel the difference.

I can't hold a pencil or 

silverware just yet...

and 

I giggle at 

my lack of coordination with

the mouse....

but I do see improvement.

 I had to stop by

and tell you 

THANK YOU!

The comment's, notes,

private messages 

and emails

are amazing.

It is true~

you never know,

 just how many people that you touch

on this big web.

And so,

 while I am not able to work, 

I have been working on 

some wedding plans ~

research...

and

making silly left handed sketches and notes...

My Imaginarium

is going full tilt 

with new concepts 

and techniques.

I can't wait 

to dive in!

A Little Time For Me

I wanted to let everyone know,

 that I am taking a little time away 

from the work

 that I love so much.

I have needed 

surgery for

quite a few years now,

and it is time.

(thank you Affordable Care Act!)

I will be having

 a couple of procedures done 

and I know 

that recuperation time, 

is supposed to take two weeks

for one of the procedures.

I have closed my Etsy Shop

until

March 11th

because, 

if you know me...

I am not one to keep idle.

I am sure that by then, 

I should be able to pack orders!

I am also sure that my Pinterest pins

will grow enormously....

and

my sketch journal 

will probably be full 

of wonky sketches,

as I don't always do so well

with Lefty.

But I am excited to get this done 

and move on.

I have so many characters coming to life

and some new ones ahead...

there are 2 new models of Sleepy Mice

and a new Ratty all stitched and ready to stuff.

It may look and sound like Spring 

is happening at the cottage~

but most of my new friends

 will have a Halloween flair to them.

Oh yes~ 

Sparrow Witches are happening!!!
