About Me

My photo
I am married, a mother and grandmother. I think I am a very caring and compassionate person. I love children. My family is very important. Also I am a Christian. I love to paint, design, create, decorate and listen to music. I have been artistic since I was a little girl. My Mother was an artist as were my Great Uncles. My home is in Kansas City, Missouri. I was born and raised here in a little college town. I have 2 dogs, both are miniature dachshunds, Smokie is 2 1/2 years old, Natasha is 5 1/2 years old. They keep us very busy. I hope you enjoy my blog!

Happy Saturday!

Today I am working on some painted items. Then at 1:30 I take my Son and family to the airport. I also need to move a few shop items to my craft room from the garage. Busy...busy day!

Antique mall day!


Well today I hit one of my newest antique malls. Untouched area! I just love to find a new mall and see what goodies I can find for my Etsy shop. I found so many delightful items and will be photographing them Tues. I will post one of the items...a beautiful artist painted rose still life in oils.

New Listing



I just listed this darling hand painted letter holder. A wonderful item for your Cottage office.

More New Etsy Items ( some sold items too)






Back To Painting

I am going to start painting my roses again. I have been so busy dying lace and now want to take a break from that. I love roses of all types, colors and kinds. They are so romantic and make a person feel so relaxed and comfortable. I will keep posted my new creations.

New Items In My Etsy Shop






Well I guess it has been a long time since I have posted anything. I have had a very dramatic change in my life. It happened on May 4th 2009 when I lost my precious and lovely husband. I am doing very good now. The grief is much better. I have been working on my Etsy store and getting my life back on track. I am going to post some of the items I have listed for your viewing pleasure. Have a blessed and wonderful day.
