A Fanciful Twist Strikes Again...My Christmas Came Early!

I know we are suppose to wait until the big guy comes in the middle of the night and at the crack of dawn, we stand at the top of the stairs waiting for the green light...then all of sudden, pictures are falling off the wall, vases are broken, things go flying...but you don't care, you just want to start ripping paper off your packages! Well, I'm not 5 years old, but when my package came from Vanessa over at http://www.afancifultwist.etsy.com/ ...I felt like I was 5 years old! Believe me, there isn't anything wrong with THAT! LOL

Here are the new additions to my family....eeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I JUST LOVE THEM! Vanessa.....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You made this forty something year old feel like a 5 year old! Whooooo Hooooooooo

They have their little home all ready for them.... Now, If I just keep them from stomping around ...because they have to wait their turn in the magical house, I'll be ok! LOL

She is patiently waiting for her turn in the magical house!

This one is just not giving it up!

Look at them...Ok, Vanessa, I think we need some more magical houses! LOL

I guess, I better be on the look out for another shop update over at a fanciful twist!

Cheers!

*****ETSY SHOP UPDATE*****

Hello my little bloggers out there...I have finally started to update my ETSY shop ://www.crowhavenfarm.etsy.com/)! I decided to have a RE-GRAND OPENING of my shop because I have changed my graphics, added new sections, and have been creating like crazy and it's about time.

Here is a sneek peek of some of the EBs that will be going in my shop.

I will also have sculpted ornaments: and I will be listing them one by one with many photographs so you will be able to see them from all sides.

Here is a sneek peek of some ornaments I made for my upcoming Gallery Show on December 5, 2008 at Out of Our Hands.

*************NEWS FLASH FROM THE STUDIO****************
My amazing Sister-in-Law, Lady Lynn made arrangements with "The Patriot" our local newspaper here in Berks County to come to my Studio to do an editorial on me. This lovely writer, Devon came out to my studio last Thursday, and let me tell you, we had a lot of fun! I think if we didn't have to work the next day, we could've been up all night discussing life and ART! The article will be appearing in the paper on November 20th. Once I get my hands on it, I'll post a copy here. What a great experience and Devon made it so much fun. Thanks again Devon...can't wait to see the editorial!

This weekend is going to be all STUDIO TIME, until Monday morning when I have to drag my butt out of bed and head to my day gig! I will be posting some collage houses that I have completed on my Etsy shop, hopefully Saturday or Sunday. There is still lots to do and I'm trying to get caught up with Custom Orders that need to get finished for the Holidays.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and make sure you stop into my shop to see the EBs and other magical treasurers.

Ciao for now...Cheers!

Sunflowers Took A Beating During The Storm!

This weekend they were calling for rain, and let me just say...we got a lot of it, which we desperately needed. As for these beautiful sunflowers, they all came down during the storm, so we cleaned them up, cut off the heads for the birds and drove them down to the burn pile! Apparently ...not only are the birds loving these sunflowers, the chipmunks like them too! LOL


Hope you all had a great weekend... mine of course was way to short! Here is a few photographs of my weekend...




I need to paint my toes Pink!


The Heads...they always make the HEADS! These little guys are just waiting for their bodies...
Unfortunately I ran out of GESSO.... I made the mistake of buying a big quart of BLACK GESSO instead of WHITE.... arrrggghhh... So these are waiting to be primed!
Until next time...
Cheers!

Well, moving on ....A few weeks ago (well... 2 weeks ago)... my girlfriend and I one sunny afternoon after we had a day in her studio working... we decided to make ourselves laugh... God knows we need to do this more often! Well as a result of us laughing and deciding to do something totally off the wall... this was the result...

YES... we PINKED OUR HAIR and I have been GIGGLING EVER SINCE!!!!!!! I just love it and I'm having so much fun! It looks so pretty when it's up and tied up with fabric! I think I'll keep this look, because it's ME!

As you can see our Sunflowers are totally out of control! However, they are lovely and having them... well... they make me GIGGLE! Now if only they could be PINK! LOL

I've been working on some new things and here is a sneak peek at a few of the things that I will be putting up in my shop at Crow Haven Farm.etys.com ....No sneak peek for the new shop... not yet anyways!

The "Wise One" is surrounded by her little friends... They wanted to make the appearance, but it's way to early for them to come out! Check out "Hooked Nose Harriett" She can't wait to cast her spells!
