One can never have too many books.

Grab your cocoa, a fuzzy blanket, a thick book, and this print, now in the shop, to complete your cozy, wintertime library.

Christmas is Coming!

I know this should be a Thanksgiving post, but I've been so excited to share these wonderful Christmas projects with you, I couldn't wait any longer.  Of all the holidays, Christmas is my very favoritist to decorate for. 
        Don't you love this gingerbread mobile?  Just an embroidery hoop painted cherry red, some red ribbon, pretty cotton twine, and a handful of whimsical woodland dwellers.  What could be more deliciously delightful?

Pom-poms on a stick? Perfect!

This garland's good enough to eat...I'm still trying to figure out a way to make one...I'm thinking those tube shaped sweeties look like they could be sponge curlers in hiding, but I'm still scratching my head about the circular goodies.

<>Littlepaper pennants give a party feeling to everyday life.  I want scads of them draped on the back of my doors, walls, windows, babies...

How about this for adorable?  A little twinkle garland made from sparkly pipe cleaners and strung along a lovely bit of string.

And last, but not least, a star advent calendar made from tinfoil stars, tiny boxes, and big wishes for a merry Christmas.

Happy Wedding Day!!

Wow, has it been four years already? How can so much life be packed into so little time?  I can't believe how both "just yesterday" and a "long time ago" it all feels.  It's definitely been an adventure, and quite a roller coaster of experience, and I couldn't ask for a better buddy to share it all with.  

To Infinity and Beyond!!!

Sneak Peek

Hi all!

Again, it's been a while (this is developing into a very bad habit), and I do apologize. I think I know what one of my (very many) New Year's resolutions will be.

Question: So, where have I been?

Answer: Sketching up 100 5x7 ORIGINAL paintings, to be released in a massive shop update sometime next week. woohoo!

And we're finally expanding the shop a bit to welcome a group of new comers.  Here's a sneak peek of our new friend.

I'll be putting up more announcements about the shop update throughout this week, so be sure to come by! 

Cheers!

AND THE WINNER IS....

I'm terribly sorry about the delay in closing off the giveaway.  Pearly's been a sickie for over a week now, and what with doctor appointments, tissues for runny noses, daily dosings, and trying to keep to squirrely girls entertained in a 700 sf apartment, things have been a little hectic.

So, without further ado, I'd like to proclaim the winner:

drumroll please....

Claylady!!!

Hurray!!

Please contact me with your address and we'll get it sent out Pumpkin Post!

I have the most exciting news to share and am dying to shout it from the rooftops.  I know it's been forever since my last post, and I'm awfully sorry about that.  A whole truckload of life has been happening the past few months, but the most exciting thing by far just occured over the past 48 hours...

My wonderful agent, Teresa of Prospect Agency, and I just finalized a contract with Shauna Fay at Putnam Books For Young Readers, an imprint of Penguin Books, for a series of three books about these little characters....

My brain's been having nothing but synaptic misfiring the past two days, I simply can't believe it.   It's like my birthday, Halloween, and Christmas all rolled into one, big, wonderful pumpkin coach.  Wishes really do come true!
I am so grateful to everyone who's made this possible,  my Mummy and Pop (thank you so much for everything!), my husband, my little girls, Pearly and Gwyneth,  Teresa, Shauna, and YOU!!!
Thank you!!

Thank you!!!
