Life has been a bit crazier than usual this year... lots of "life-stuff" happening -- mostly good with a few challenges thrown in. As a result, I've neglected posting here. Meanwhile, I've been doing my best to keep up with my Etsy shop... Fall is definitely upon us -- haven't we had the most glorious fall weather this year?? And the holidays will be here before we know it!

So, here's a little update... I still have pumpkins available in a variety of colors: tans, browns, greens, gold, cream and white. My snowman inventory is a little smaller this year, but I have listings in almost all the colors plus a few NEW Christmas Limited Editions that just listed yesterday. (see photos below).

I'm enjoying making lots of memory keepsake orders (ornaments, pillows and more) and will welcome orders until early November for Christmas delivery.

Happy Fall everyone!

I just completed several new snowmen in honor of St. Patrick's Day, including a special "Snow Couple." What a fun way to celebrate!

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some sunshine, fresh air and SPRING. These little cuties will usher in the brand new season and add some charm to your home!

I also have just a few Valentine's snowmen remaining -- a really darling gift for your sweetheart. If you're local, message me to get a discount and we can arrange pick up this week.

I've been busy fulfilling post-Christmas orders and beginning the process of restocking my snowmen listings. Here's my latest snowmen: Valentine editions! They're available in red and berry/hot pink and are a fun gift for your sweetheart! Check them out in my Etsy shop, here:

My long-promised New Year's Eve snow couples just released today and I'm so excited to share them with you!

I used up some very special sweaters to create these six snowmen so they are the last available. Each couple is unique and dressed in exquisite finery for their New Year's Eve merriment. Their outfits include coordinating fluffy yarn or fur scarves and all hat cuffs are embellished with fur, tinsel and/or braided yarn and some even have extra starry charms added. Each snow guy/gal wears a fancy beaded necklace -- so much glitz and glimmer!

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's DECEMBER. (How can it be???) Yesterday I finished up my last keepsake order for the year. Hoping these bring comfort and sweet memories to the family...

Purple is popular! Just like purple pumpkins, purple snowmen have been popular this season! My purple snowman listing sold out a week or so ago, so I made up a few more to add to my readymade inventory. These are the last of some very special sweaters... kind of sad to see them go, but also nice to be making some room in my snowman village storage area (AKA my husband's office!)

Check out all the options here:

Pumpkin season is winding down -- but Thanksgiving is coming and sweater pumpkins make lovely table decorations for you or small gifts for guests or family.

I'm running a sale over at my Etsy shop, so it's a great time to grab a few for the coming holiday or stock up for next year.

20% off (minimum purchase of $30). If you're local, just message me to order and we'll work out delivery.

Thanks friends! And Happy Fall!

Pumpkin season is in full swing! Guess which have been the most popular this year? Here's a hint.... it's not the traditional autumn colors!

'tis the season... for Keepsake Memory orders - these vibrant, colorful blouses were made into two pillow covers. Can't you just imagine what a joyful, FUN person wore these? I hope the pillow covers bring back lots of happy memories for this family!

Keepsake Memory orders for holiday gifts are starting to come in. This past week's work was one of the biggest projects I've undertaken... twelve pieced and quilted pillow cases made from a beloved grandmother's clothing to be gifted to each of her grandchildren.

Quilting with clothing can be challenging -- well-loved items are often worn and thin -- OR (as was the case here) made from a variety of different weight fabrics -- some quite stretchy. This project required hours and hours of cutting, applying fusible interfacing and then more cutting before sewing the first stitch.

A labor of love. I hope these special pillow cases will bring sweet, comforting memories to all who receive them.
