Good Morning Everyone~! In my last post I spoke of some new things that I have been working on, and I just completed these yesterday, so I wanted to share.
This first photo is a gourd that was given to me by a dear friend, and when I first saw it I just knew I had to do something special with it. This is what I came up with.....isn't it cute? I love painting on gourds......some I leave in the natural state, but in others such as this one I do paint the entire gourd. This little guy will be available in my Etsy shop soon. Most of my Halloween art is geared toward making you smile, rather then the scary stuff. So you will see cute cats, smiling ghosts, and adorable creatures, rather then the more ghoulish things.


Here is another gourd that I did up for the Fall/Autumn season. This is my favorite season of all, so I do lots of things geared more to Harvest, Scarecrows, and Gratitude. This gourd was left in its natural state, with the design only being painted. I think this is one of my favorite designs from Deb Richey.

I have had several requests to paint some fall mouse pads, so while I had my palette out with the colors for the gourd, I went ahead and painted the same design on the mouse pad. I have several customers that love to switch out their mouse pads for the seasons, so I hope they enjoy this new design.

And last but not least is another mouse pad I did with a Renee Mullin design. This one is full of detail, and is my all time favorite.

Even thought we are now enjoying great summer weather, it is that time already to be thinking of fall decorating, so I will be working on many more items in the coming days. I hope you have enjoyed these, and I will return soon with more creations. As always all of these items are available in my Etsy shop. Till next time............blessings to all, and thanks so much for visiting my blog. You gals keep me inspired, and I love hearing from all of you!

Oh My!! It has been too long!

Hey Girls!
It has been way too long since I have had an opportunity to get back in touch with my blog! So sorry for being MIA, but lets just call it summer......:) So many things to do, and so little time. I have been trying to stay up on your blogs though, and I have seen some of the most gorgeous makeovers, redo's and gardens! You gals are all so talented and you inspire me every day with your incredible talents!
Anyway, I can't tell ya what I have been doing, cause it has just been a little of this and little of that. It has been so very hot here, as we went from rain on a daily basis, now to high 90's all week. So I have tried to get my gardening done in the mornings, and do some painting in the afternoon. I have a few new fall projects that I have been working on, and I hope to have the pictures to show you by the beginning of next week. Keeping my fingers crossed anyway.......:)

If you have a chance, Kim, of Kim's Country Cottage is having a great giveaway. She is giving away THREE of these wonderful candles in Popcorn, Root Beer, and Cotton Candy scents. She is asking for your favorite all time candle scents so that she can add to her new endeavor with her son......candle making! Go on over and leave a comment.......I know she would appreciate it so much!

I hope you all are having a terrific summer so far. I can't believe that I am already starting to paint for fall, but it is that time of year for artists to get started for shows, and online sales. So stop back by next week to see a couple new things I have done......till then as always.........Blessings
