Mother's Day

I celebrated mine yesterday.
My beautiful daughter came for the day....and started it off with giving me flowers.
We had plans to spend the entire day doing "pre-wedding" errands for her upcoming big day in Sept. Well....it turned out to be quite the productive day.

We had also been going back and forth with places to have the rehearsal dinner since the wedding will be in a fairly rural area of New England to say the least. That is now taken care of. With a last minute stop in a place that hadn't even crossed our radar....not only did we try the food and discover it was delightful...but it is now booked for the day!!
Of course we also had to stop and get cupcakes from places that needed to be checked to see who would be doing the "interactive" cupcake tower. We again discovered a new place that may be top on the list.
Her dress had also arrived at the shop..so we went to see it and she got to try it on....and it was perfect. The fear of having the wrong dress ordered or a vastly wrong size were soon put to rest. The right dress and the perfect size!! Yes....there will be a good nights sleep.

I have to tell you, the day went sooo perfectly that when we were in the dress shop, Sarah found a dress on the clearance rack that was almost made for her. There was only one, marked down to an unbelievable price that just happened to fit her like a glove. Of course she got it then put it on when we got back to the house. I put my red dress on as well....and here is our "mommy & daughter" picture.
Yep...a day doesn't get much nicer than that!!

A New Addition

Has been added to the collection of fabrics using my Torn Paper Paintings!!
I've just reviewed and made available my cupcake titeled "Unwrapped". The colors are amazing in this one.
I've now sampled them in two different fabrics. While the "quilting weight" is quite nice and very general purpose....the "linen-cotten canvas"....amazing!!

Cupcakes....again

I must be dealing with a sweet tooth right now. I've just posted a new swap in my art group that is called "Sweet Treat"...says it all.....and now I've just finished another cupcake paper piece!!

A triple header yet...lol !!!

I need cake!! Luckily it's my husbands birthday in another week and I get to make and eat cake and not feel at all guilty about it!

Yay!! Thanks honey ;)

More pink

Well....the open studios show last weekend is over and it went sooo well.

Sold art, jewelry, cards, etc. Great crowd all weekend regardless of the weather. It rained awfully on Saturday and we woke on Sunday to snow.

One of the cupcake pieces that sold was one that was mainly pink. Seems to be a color that gets attention. So, while at the show, I worked on another mostly pink cupcake. It was great to have a set-up for actually working at the same time. People loved watching what was going on and how these are done.

While at the show I also met a local newspaper writer who does articles for the "art scene" in the area. She was quite excited about my work and the unusual nature of it and wants to do an article! Yay.

I'll be in touch with her to see what we can work out.

Chocolate & Vanilla

Cupcakes of course!!!

Yep....on a cupcake roll again. Oh well...I can think of worse things :)

These may be the start of another set of notecards for my Etys shop.
