you had a Birthday

it seems like yesterday you were this

and now you are this. 

Esmae- to be "esteemed" or "loved" in Old French, you are both.......!  Happy Birthday.

for grandma

I've been working on this small sketch for my Grandma for Christmas.  This is her dog, well it represents
her 2 most beloved dogs  Zar &  Zarina.  Both Norwegian Elkhounds and both up in heaven.  Gram loves these dogs and I knew it was serious when she announced that she wished to be buried next to them at her ranch.  I hope it gives her fond memories of them.  Ok I am admitting, it got me thinking.  One day (far away) we might get one of these type of dogs.  They are fun to pet and didn't seem too needy.
disclosure-
 (Mary or Circe don't even think about showing up at my door with one of these puppies! )

Love you Gram....

(I said she was a dog lover, not animal lover. )

New Stuff

My boutiques are done for the year!

(I am done permanently, I think- more on that later)

So I finally added some of my new stuff

This photo makes me want to pack up my family move to Norway

and herd reindeer with the Sami people.

                                           I am so sick of working right now all I want to do

                                         is drink coke, eat chocolate & sit.  Even though

                                       I still have a ton to do thats all I've been doing the

                                       past 2 days.  Does anyone know how to snap out of

                                       this condition?

Sneak Peek

Some goods I am making for 2 big holiday shows this weekend.
