Christmas Cards!


Here are two cards I designed this year. I know what a hassle it is and how it stinks that everyone else has the exact same card as you. Let me design your photo card (printed on photo paper 4x6 or 5x7) Send me your photo or photos, I'll design and you print them where you love to print photos. They can be as simple or complex as you'd like. Easy as pie. $15

A family tree


This is one of three windows I'm doing for a family of 11....yes, 11! They tore the old windows out of their marvelous Victorian farm house and gave a few to me (thank you!) and I'm in the process of doing three so they can hang them back in their house. This is the first one, finished this morning. I love it. Those are old hymns in the background and the tree is an old oak tree that resides on their farm. I love being able to take a little of their life and put it into art. I hope they like it! The other two are of a windmill and their huge red barn. Hopefully they will turn out as nicely as this one.

Commissioned works


These two windows are done for a lady in Mount Vernon who wanted her wall color to be seen through them. This one is done on a big black storm window. The other window I spotted picking up Baylor from preschool, got a few odd looks from the other preschool parents while I was filling my trunk with windows! Hey, they wanted to get rid of them!

Make it personal

So I have had a few requests for mugs or paintings for weddings and new babies or Christmas presents. So if you're trying to think of the perfect gift for the new mom or the new couple. let me know! Here are a few ideas:

1. Welcome sign with their new last name
2. Initials mugs and/or plate with wedding date
3. Baby watercolor/pen and ink with date/lbs/name
4. Ceramic coaster set with favorites/children's names/initials
5. New Address ceramic tiles (i.e 202)
6. New baby Christmas ornaments

I'd love to make something personal for you!

A few photos from this weekend

These were set up in Diane's mudroom (all are still available by the way!) and need a good home!
Here is a shot of some of my hand painted mugs and the pear paintings that currently resides in my kitchen.
Some of Diane's artwork along with my windows (two sold!) in the back!

Thanks so everyone who came and made it a great success! I am blessed.
