Shifting Gears...Sort of



I've shifted gears a little lately and have hit the sewing "craze". I've made 2 really cute purses and some hair curlers for my daughters. I need to try to split my time between sewing and painting!

Here's a few pictures of my sewing projects. I ended up sewing on an apple button for the pink piggy purse.

My youngest daughter learned how to sew on buttons with the curlers! She did a really good job and she was thrilled with how her hair turned out.

The Spirit Emerges

I started painting when I was a little girl. I didn't get really serious about it until I had a little girl of my own. At that time, I decided I wanted to give my family something of myself at Christmas, rather than always buying something. So, I made my Mom the "guinea pig". She received the first of my painted Santas. She loved them! Over the years, I started to include other family members...they have loved my work as well! They have inspired me to share my work with others...the result is this blog and soon my own website.

Painting Santas has been my favorite, but I have branched out to include Snowmen, Reindeer, Angels, and Ornaments. I'm working on some Halloween pieces and will have the pictures posted soon.
