Here is a new sign I painted for Bodhi Furnishings. It's made from on an old door that's been distressed. I designed it to look like an old fashioned shop sign to go along with the 'vintage' theme.

Here's the sign outside Bodhi Furnishings directing people towards all the vintage goodies.

A few weeks back it was my birthday and I was so jealous of the Rapunzel cake I made for someone else that I decided to make a princess cake for myself! It was a toss up between Belle and Mulan, but after looking for inspiration on the internet I noticed that there were practically no Mulan cakes so I figured I would make the first one!

I took some artistic license with her dress by adding some little flourishes. It was lots of fun to make, and proof that you are never too old to have a princess birthday cake!

My favourite new addition to my Christmas craft collection are my Winter Ladies. Five pairs of adorable
Christmas tree decorations, each one with a name, a unique personality and a special talent. I didn't start out making smart and accomplished miniature women but that's what they became. So say hello to my Winter Ladies!

A couple of months ago I ended up with a couple of spare canvases due to a wedding canvas project disaster. Rather than scrap them, I decided to create two new paintings called 'Joy' and 'Love' I had an image in my head of two dancers draped in colours and ribbons; one expressing joy, and the other love.

Normally when painting I will draw the design onto the canvas/paper first and paint from there. However with these I painted freely, making much of it up as I went. I did do some sketches beforehand to make sure the images in my head would translate to paper but these two paintings are definitely the most expressionistic I have ever done.

If you love them as much as I do they are both for sale on my Esty Shop!
