Good morning...

Still busy getting ready for the show I'm doing in November.
A few new items to share...

I am all about recycling, repurposing and reusing...here's a fun project reusing some bottles. Any small bottles will work.

Child's Family Tree...these make wonderful gifts. I make them in a variety of colors, no 2 are alike.
Hope you are having a fantastic week.
Be back soon.

I feel so bad about being away from my blog but it's one of those things that gets put on the back burner when I get busy. My internet access is also very limited and I'm lucky if I can get online once or twice a week...long story.
September was a busy month. We welcomed a new granddaughter, Madelyn and we celebrated our granddaughter, Graylee's 2nd birthday. I've also been extremely busy with special orders and creating to keep my booth in the Gallery filled. Now I'm working on inventory for show I'm doing in November. No idle hands here.
A couple of photos I took last weekend to share...

Graylee, riding her favorite birthday gift.

Big brother, Brandon Lewis, showing her how it's done.
Oh, they grow up so fast.
Worked on a few challenges today, gave myself a break from work, and I'll share them soon.
Hope you have a great week.
Be back soon.

Amazing...

I just love these little creatures...

I am fascinated by hummingbirds and it took a lot of patience, something I'm short on, to get some of these photos but well worth it.

Hope you are having a wonderful week.

Be back soon.

Some art to share...

I finally have had some time to photograph some of my recent work...

Grow Canvas
These are all 8 x 10 and created using vintage sheet music, images and Scrabble tiles. They are all going to the Gallery later today.
I've been working non-stop on a variety of projects however most are for other people and they are out the door as soon as I get them finished so it feels good to finally have time to share a few pieces.
Have a fantastic weekend.
Be back soon.
