Lambing Season

Much to my disappointment, we do not have sheep. But given the small country town we live in, we have friends that do. Over the years we have always told them that if they were to ever have a bottle lamb we would be more then happy to feed it. This year they had one and we got to keep her overnight (I would have kept her longer but it was in agreement that she would do better with other sheep)

We were also given the permission to name her. Hollyhocks (like the flower) Holly for short. She was super cute and super loud! We kept her in a box in the kitchen but she was not happy about it. She baaed herself hoarse. Poor little thing. The only thing that would keep her quite was for me to hold her. I did get her to fall asleep in her box for the night but in the morning the baaing continued. So for a day and a half I carried a sheep around.Just call me the lamb whisperer.

Mosaic Collection

We have a new Pattern at work. If it didn't turn out so nice it would be the death of me. We added it to the line at the last minute before the New York show. I have been painting like crazy to get the orders filled and try to build up inventory. It takes so long to paint that I'm not really getting anywhere.The blue one it called the Mosaic Carnival and the Purple one is the Mosaic Garland. We also do the Garland in all gold but its not as pretty.

My fingers are going to be little nubs by the time I have my list done.

Slow and Steady

I added a Amish boy.I still have not painted the horses.

WinterJam

A three and a half hour drive there and back from Cleavland Ohio. Partially in a blinding snow storms.Four hours of bright lights and loud music.A night with friends and seeing God answer prayers to get us through said blinding snow storms. Priceless!
