Just a quick hello

Just wanted to let you know that I am still around and creating things. I am also starting vegetable and herb gardens so I have not been blogging. Will be back soon with photos of new snails. Meanwhile here is a shot of one of my peony blooms. There are lots more of this Spring's flowers in my garden on flicker. There is a link up top just below my banner if you want to see.

The Crafty Witch and the Princess

There once was a sweet little Princess who needed a fabulous dress to wear at a party. So she visited a crafty witch who was known throughout the land of ColtPixy for her talents in knitting, crochet, sewing and tatting.

Work Table Wednesday it is great to be back

After almost 4 months of being sick and then relocating my studio it feels so good to get back to sculpting again! On my work table, not yet cured...



I am back to doing what I love best, creating. There are lots of ideas on my to-make list, including bashing a dollhouse kit. To "bash" a kit means to alter it in some way. I plan on adding an addition among other things. I have never had a dollhouse even though I have always made miniatures. Needless to say I have never built one before. Along with it I'll be making lots of miniatures but not just for it. Of course lots more snails are on my list too. I have been writing down ideas for months waiting for the day to come when I could play again. I am so happy that it is here now!

New shelves for my studio

I am in the process of moving my studio from a huge room upstairs to a smaller room downstairs. This is happening because I am about to build a dollhouse and there is no way I want to try to move that down the steep stairs in this house. Kept looking for shelves that are not deep to put small supplies like paints and jars of doo-dads. Never could find one that would work for me so I designed my own. My husband volunteered to help without my asking. He has always been supportive of my art. It is a wonderful thing.
Today while he was at work I primed, painted and attached cork tiles and hooks. Now I just need to bring it in the house and install it on the wall. It is 54" long and 4" deep. I love it!
