Upcoming Event - Handmade Chic Artisan Market

I am excited to announce that I will be a vendor at the Handmade Chic Holiday Artisan Market in Sheboygan, WI.  If you would like to shop for local, handmade items for the holidays stop by the Glas Coffeehouse between 4:30 to 8 p.m. on November 13th!  Angie, from Gathered & Sown is organizing the event.  Please check out her shop as well, her work is amazing!

I am looking forward to testing out the Etsy card reader.  This will be very helpful with coordinating my online and offline sales!

Butterfly Garden

I had to use the mica flakes, I could not resist. And I just love how this one sparkles!

Available to purchase here.

An Artist's Story

This was somewhat of a challenge. I needed to keep this piece interesting without going overboard. My subject was important in this one. The story was simple and I did not want to overwhelm the viewer. Sometimes a work of art speaks to you and tells you when it is finished, sometimes you have to decide when to stop.

Available to purchase here.

In Her Garden

I was feeling restricted with art on canvas. I needed something a little more three dimensional. I constructed a small box out of the backing of a watercolor pad. Then I added all the tiny details you see here! This piece was an experiment, so it is available in my shop at a special price.

Nourish

In solitude I stay
drifting deeper with a longing
to keep this fragile heart
nourished with love.

First Snow available in my shop.

5 Months!

Here are my 5 month ultrasound pictures, as well as a my baby bump. I will most likely be closing my Etsy shop soon, however I will still take orders if requested. Between work and preparing for my baby I am unable to put as much time into my shop as I would like.

A Jane Austen Wedding

Take a look at my treasury! This is my dream wedding, if only I could convince my fiance to dress as Mr. Darcy.

Spicy Scented Trivets and Coasters

UPDATE:  Check out my new variation of my scented trivets here!

Here are a few new products I've been working on. The spicy scent in these coasters and trivets is wonderful. It is a mixture of nutmeg, cinnamon chips, anise seed, cloves, allspice, and rosemary. I purchased these herbs from San Francisco Herb Co. My fiance helped me write out the instruction cards. The word wallop is completely foreign to me. So not only do they make great kitchen accessories, they also work as stress relievers when your perfectly planned holiday meal does not turn out as you had hoped.


My 23rd birthday was this week. My parents helped me make my amazon wish list smaller and bought me a stack full of books. I was so happy to receive Anna Maria Horner's new release, Seams to Me: 24 Reasons to Love Sewing. It was a huge surprise to find an envelope full of patterns in the back! I also got a copy of Sew Everything Workshop and I found the perfect material to make the flouncy tank top.
