Twins are expected!

My dad had twins as siblings~

My mom had twins as siblings~

I was so very grateful to have one baby at a time!

(Dress is Carter's baby & the little boys onesie is by Oshkosh)

I added the little illustrations to match their nursery themes~

One of my sweetest cousins is expecting fraternal twins!

Girl and a boy!

They were showered with treasures and so very deserving!

The sweetest of families~

These little outfits will only fit them for a short time~

They will forever fit their favorite teddy bears!

When I saw that they had white Onesies on their gift registry

I knew could have some fun with them!

There is an owl tucked in her collection &

I kept most of his illustrations nautical themed.

They can wear them...

Have them made into their first T-Shirt quilt...

Keep them for always~

I cut some of my Finch & Friends flannel fabric in pink for her!

(Red Rooster Fabrics) 

Blue in the same two patterns for the little fella~

The twins have a large & beautiful family & the most amazing friends.

Oodles of loving arms just waiting to hold them!

Precious little hearts~

Hope your week is off to a great start, Friends!

Spring punch needle fun~

Dipping her toe in... Splash!!

Hope your week is off to a great start, Friends!

Hope these Springtime friends bring a smile to your heart~

Pocket full of sunshine!

Wouldn't it be fun to carry a bird in your pocket?

(perhaps we could outfit them with little diapers)

;)

Forget Me Nots...

Always a piece of love tucked in~

Polka dots and bows...

Ruffles and powder blue...

Peek-a-boo!

Hope your day is filled with little surprises & joy!

Rainbow of love~

Good Morning, Friends!

Hope everyone has had their power restored...

A weekend to clean up limbs and push snow piles~

Rainbows to brighten the day!

A sweet mom requested one of my pen & ink treasures with a

rainbow across the top... what fun!

I have added touches of color in the past to bumble bee bellies...

Bright red to plump, juicy strawberries that mice have gathered~

Sky blue to tiny little forget me not bouquets...

These rainbows were great fun!

I made a few extras to share as gifts and added some to my Etsy shop~

Wishing your heart joy, Sweet Friends~

Tiny, fluffy... feathers~

Long, cold winter days...

My heart anticipates Springtime!

With heavy socks, slippers, fuzzy layers...

Two plush throws~ I am warming up from cleaning the driveway.

Again.

Spring is nearing... these little loves have promised!

Sharing a little love...

They're looking forward to the warm sunshine on their shoulders...

Green grass to hop on...

Feathered companions traveling from miles away~

So am I~

Hope you have a cozy weekend, Sweet Friends!

Flock of birds...

With all this frigid~ I needed to think Spring!

Baby birds...

 Fuzzy and singing loud!

Momma birds tending to their every chirp...

First flights...

Sharing a ride...

Sharing love...

A few sweet reminders that the warmth will return~

... and we will once again enjoy evening walks under the stars!

When I was photographing my little friends for Etsy~

These two were side by side...

"What does the fox say?" Immediately played in my head!

(Now it is going to be stuck in YOUR head!)

Giggle...

Fox says, "It is very cold in the field... warmer days are coming soon!"

Smiles and hugs!

Keep warm, Sweet Friends~ 

Vintage Baby Dresses...

Teddy bears love to model for me...

Peek-a-boo!

It was perfect on her!

But...

It is available in my Etsy Shop with the other vintage dresses~

Vintage dresses are becoming more and more difficult to find...

I think Alaina & I discovered some of these when we were visiting family

in Arizona last May!

Little ribbons of detail...

Getting ready for the Christmas tree!

Hope your weekend is filled with wonderful memories & love~

Mice & baby birds...

Kneeling in my garden & a little mouse skittles past me...

I'm sure she was catching up with a fuzzy friend to talk about their day!

Beautiful starlit skies~

Just listed these new pen & ink illustrations in my Etsy shop~

I think it would be grand to sing with a Sparrow & a mouse~

Baby birds seem to peek out from every hedgerow & shrub~

Their little voices so tiny... but loud enough to call for a snack!

My cup does overflow~ with love... with joy... with His blessings!

There was a sweet little stitched poem on my childhood bedroom wall.

I would only read the first line... night after night~

Then I would fall asleep while saying my bedtime prayers.

Wishing you sweet dreams!

Thank you for visiting my blog and so many sweet comments~

Baby Robin archival prints!

I picked up the prints today!

Baby Robin is in my 2nd Etsy store~

Their little faces...

We have had dark, soggy, soaking... torrential rains~ and more rain.

I like to use natural light, to keep the colors close to original.

I will take better photographs when the clouds move on~

Our wee ones are no longer bouncing around the cozy lawns...

I gathered 3 shells from underneath trees & shrubs this year~

Not one of them were Robin-egg-blue!

Each print is hand-signed... the prints look so much like the original!

Hope you're having a nice evening!

Thank you for so many kind comments about my greeting cards~

Smiles to you!
