Brown Transferware...


I gather treasures with imperfections~
Chips, stains, crazing...
There is a history. A touch. A memory. It has been used, loved.


We need to take each other for exactly who we are~
We are all treasures!

Needle felted bunny group~


I have not figured out the correct term for each poke or stitch
my felting needle takes... but each little friend has thousands~


My new choir of bunnies!
Some so very shy...
I love watching our son sing~ a wonderful Tenor 1...
The tilt of his head when the song changes minor.


The elder (lil bit larger bunny) leads them in song~


The Pastel Quartet!


Whispering the correct lyrics into a friends ear...


The shy soloist~


Little voices that pack of punch of emotion~


Chin up!
Breath~


Spring pastels~
March is expected to come in like a lion in our little corner.


Each little bunny with their own sweet song...


...and their own fluffy, snow-white tails!

Wishing you a day filled with joy and a song in your heart!

Inspirational journals...


His Word is in my heart~


I paint with joy and a grateful heart~


I'm sharing these artist samples with a local Christian group
Impact Theatre a small way to help them continue to share His love & truths.


Beautiful journals & more available from Divinity Boutique!


Artist samples are a treat~
To hold a product in my hand, from one of my paintings!



This design is also on a garden flag!
Imagine how fun, to be driving down the road...
One of our teens shout out, "Mom! One of your flags!"


I give thanks to God~
For every gift He has given me.


I give thanks to God for each of you~
Who continually encourage and support me!


Wishing you a joy-filled day!

Vintage Ephemera~


The pages that they kept~
Shared chores, favorite pastimes...
Or were they an artist?
Saving the images for reference of times & styles?


A clip that looked like a baby sister,
A mischievous pup that always took their favorite toy?
Or how the artist captured the sweetest portrait of a child...
The adorable dress & hat of the young girl?


A gardener with cherished clips to cheer them through the winter?
An artist keeping plant reference?


Either way~ I am inspired and in awe of every little clip!
The dandelion prophet is very sweet~
They are all flowers to me!


Fruit seemed so much "juicier" as a child!
A bite into a fresh peach and my shirt was soggy~


Pages that tell a story...


This scrapbook artist captured my heart~
Images of flowers...
Dogs...
Children...
Dandelions!
A gentle reminder that I need to get laundry started...
Thankfully, no need to scrub in a tub!

I gather little snippets of joy~
Hope you do too!

Needle felted whiskers n' wool...


On Friday, I was able to put the finishing touches two
art deadlines so I spent the weekend playing!!!


Wonder what their conversations were as they waited
for their pretty colors...


My little sketches brought to 3-D...


This sweet little girl is a Valentine for a very dear friend!
All dressed in a little yellow raincoat~
Ready for her journey west!


Fox friend...
Found the perfect color roving!


Petite little me...


Sweet and simple elephant~


Bunny with the long ears...
Long white kitty whiskers to match!
Found another whisker just this morning when I was
gathering laundry~ was stuck in one of Sadie's favorite blankets.


Nose to nose... the little salmon bunny said,
"Thank you for stopping by, Sweet Friends!"
