The Nearsighted Fox....

I finally finished this custom order for an artist friend through Etsy. It was so fun to paint this lil guy. It turned out pretty cute with the glasses and stripy pants. Have you ever met a nearsighted fox? Well, now you have. I really hope he will enjoy this piece.

 

Hope this gave you all a good smile.Have a Happy Weekend ahead.

Weeks End Glance....

We had a good week this week...I accomplished a few things which is always a good thing. Mr. Darling is busy, busy going back and forth to San Diego for his Summer internship, the kids and I went to the beach with our sweet gal friend Marilee. It was a great day watching them play in the waves..I even got a little kitty snooze in...The sound of the ocean relaxed me, just wish I could have brought it home with me.

I worked on this cute little patchy scrap piece and will be quilting it next week, making it a sweet throw pillow to sell. My mind is set on doing shows again. I haven't done art shows in years...so I have lot's of work ahead. I'll keep you posted.

I found this cool yellow shadow frame while thrifting, so added my print to it...So cute...
This will be for sale too!
 
Then I worked on a couple collage pieces to add to my shop.
The houses above and this darling Daisy Gal in full bloom. Precious isn't she?

Drinking lemonade...
Cause it's Summer time!!!

Oh yeah, my apricot tree is ready and bearing fruit...Yay!!! I made apricot jam and cherry jam to add to my strawberry. My friend will be coming over next week while I give her jam making lessons...Plus we're making a trip out to the blueberry fields to pick ....Maybe I will turn that into jam too! Yum!!!
Stay tuned for this fun tutorial I will be sharing...
Using cute bandanna's!!!

Oh, if you live nearby and have a pool & wish to have us over..
.We'd be more than happy to hang out with you
Freckles is praying for it!
 Tee Hee...Hope your having a fantastic Summer!!!

On The Table...

Okay so I started this poppet doll a couple months ago and she still isn't done...she needs a body. It was a vision in my head, so I had to design it from my head...Unsure how I wanted her body to be as a finished product, I needed to sketch out the body and arms & legs...in hopes that it will look good with the big round head. I guess you can say I am a little apprehensive about putting it together in fear she will look bad...I am a little finicky I suppose. I just need to gather up the courage to just do it! So bare with me!!!

My little Freckles has also been working on her piece of art...
She is painting some barn owls...cute huh? I think it will be really sweet.
I did manage to finish this sweety...I collaged her from scrap papers and such, then made prints for my shop. So if your interested at all in this piece...scroll up to the top and click my shop to take you to Etsy...or My Etsy link is also on the side bar.... She is so cheerful and Summery!!! Hope you like it. Have a Happy Day!!!

A Little Something....
