Spring Cheer

When all else fails you...when life is hard, when the skies are grey, when you aren't getting enough sleep at night, when your heart is heavy...when nothing feels quite right, there is always yellow. It's our fiscal year end at work. This means late nights, long hours, and a lot of extra work. In addition to my family situation, I have had some rough days. My husband - the most amazing and gentle soul on the planet - brought me these daffodils yesterday. He didn't realize that there was a rogue orange-centered daffodil (my absolute favorite flower on the planet) tucked away amidst the others. I'm so grateful. Here they are on my desk at work:



I'm going to spend my lunch break finalizing a couple of pieces I'm working on. I had to shorten the toothy tusk of a narwhal I've been working on for what seems like weeks. His tusk was so long that he flooped over on it. It was kind of silly. That's what you get when you make the tusk first! Or tooth. Or horn?

Wishing you all daffodils and blue skies. Spring is coming...

100 Sales & Giveaway

I am so grateful to announce that my little Etsy shop has reached 100 sales!!! I originally opened my shop in 2006 to sell paintings of birds on wires, but reinvented myself this past year. I listed the first 20 needle felted items on March 2nd. Since then, I've received so much positive feedback, made so many friends, and have grown my art immensely (go take a look at the first few listings!) In celebration of the first 100 sales, I'm offering a giveaway! The giveaway prize is the Plumpie that started it all - featured on the Etsy Finds blog and the item that generated the first wave of real interest in my shop - the sitting fox . I will make you one of your own, but you can see an example below: To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment with your contact information. One entry per person. The giveaway ends November 26th at 8:00 pm EST , with the drawing on November 27th. I'll announce the winner on Saturday, November 27th.

Shop Update!

These new friends are now available in my Woolnimals Etsy Shop ! Free shipping too!
