Shoe Clips

I finished these last night! I'm very happy with them except for the hardware. They're a bit difficult to open and close, but we're trying to remedy that. Good thing is that they won't come off your shoe! I bought a smaller version of them and I'm testing them next.





I'll most likely sell these as 'samples'.

Clicky on the photos to see larger versions.

Cat in the Hat

Michael made this for Renata, who is catering a birthday party tomorrow. The cake will be the hat. I love this so much! I can't freehand for shit any more.

I finished another last night, but I am not happy with something so I am going to rework and upload tomorrow. Two more to start today and two others in process. Yay!

My true love went riding out in white and green and grey.

Thanks again Lindsey!

Salt'n'Pepa

My mother gets a lot of catalogs. A lot. I would say that we like 90%, so that's not too bad. She's ordered some stuff from Monticello in the past.

I was flipping through her latest edition when I found this to stir my acorn love...

Then I found these cuties that I want to share...

Double Dating

Two pair of Hooded Merganser ducks have landed in the pond. I don't know if they're just passing through or if they're hanging for a bit. I'm trying to remember if we had them last year, but it was so chaotic during the move and colder months here.

I can't get a good photo of them right now, but here is a photo of the male that I pulled from good 'ole Google.



I am going to miss the amazing wildlife around this place when we move soon.

Happy New Year everyone! We would like to wish you a safe, happy and healthy year.

We've had our Hoppin' John and collards already.

Cheers!
