Ho Ho Ho

As much as I don't want to admit it, Christmas is fast approaching. So I have decided to jump on the holiday express and am up to my eyeballs in glitter, snowman, vintage fabrics, paints and of course, gourds!

Just a few Christmas shows on the calendar, and time is tickin' away. I love this time of the year, and I get all caught up in the excitement. I am furiously working on a batch of snow folk for a Nov. 22 show. I have my eyes on pile of gourds just waiting to be transformed into nativities, and then there are elves and Santa's and oh, so much more. I needed this  for the fall; drive, energy and ambition, but alas it has come and gone.

I have neglected my postings and promise to make use of this more in the future. I will be posting new creations as they are completed.  

Thanks for stopping by, Wishing you all the Merriest of Seasons!
