Getting ready for Christmas

This month was a really busy one. Filled with bazaars and market and just getting ready for Christmas.Framing till the wee hours and painting like crazy. To put it in pictures all the past 3 weeks:

 New item is available with hedgehog :)

I make this little elf's every year to my boys, they each has as many as much old are they.

Santa in red frame.This was one of the most selling one at the shows :

Making some garland either for the christmas tree or just to hang it in the window:

Some doodling at night after kiddos are in the bed...

Then we made some peanut Santa :)

More painting

And my little corner on one of the market:

Next project decorating the house and wrapping the presents :)

Shows for the weekends

I had so much thing I wanted to post about this month but so little time :) I had a show last weekend and I will have more this weekend and the following one.I was framing all night to get ready and making fast trips to the printer company :) Here are some pictures about my last week :

framing till 1 clock, then everything turned blurry so I went to sleep :)

  

The German Market went so well it made me very giddy :)

I was really focused till 4 o'clock and then I brought the star what there were selling next to me...(can you blame me? :) It has a light inside even more beautiful then it looks on the picture.

So now as I am getting ready for the next show I am trying to come up with some display :)

And I picked up my cards too..

More pictures to come after the show :)

Happy Thanksgiving ! 

Falling snow

I love snow!

 I do miss the snow here in Oregon. From the streets,trees and I miss looking at the snow on the roofs while they have the smoke coming out of their chimney. The material I used to make this snow fall is coming for my little 4 years old pompom obsession :) He was begging me at the store to get him this white pompoms.So he helped me with this project and we enjoyed it very much! :) Here is the result in pictures about our today project: 

Organizing and painting

             This week was about organizing my craft-drawing area and painting some pictures and orders:

  This picture is without my stuff :):) I am going trough what I'll keep and what to toss, slow process :D 

More stuff at this point on the table and a little invaders :)

They like to draw with me and I love when they are drawing with me.

                                                         Finally I put up my pin-board  :)



                                                      

Getting into the winter spirit : 

Could't help it but some reason I had a bunch of summer-ish idea on my mind

and fruit :)  

and mother love when your kid is sick 

                                                                finding relaxation from nature:

Have a wonderful weekend ! :)

Birthday and wrapping

One of my dear friend has a Birthday today and I painted something for her that reminds her to her roots where she grow up in Europe. I can't pick what is more fun the painting it self or making a wrapping part :)

To add a dimension to the flat wrapped picture frame I made a paper flower on the top.After it dried, I glue them together and then I bend it the pedals.   

Paintings and mural

Today I had to catch up with my paintings and that included my last mural in the boys room, orders to complete and some gifts to make for my friends.

I had to make something that reminded me for the warm weather :)
