Happy New Year

 

I believe this is true! ↑

I'm looking forward to the upcoming year. 2025 was one of the toughest years of my life but...

I made it through & it has showed me I'm strong! 

In 2026 I'll make friends with the crows that flock to our block.

They are clever, and resilient just like me.

I'll continue to paint, draw, write and QUILT! My favorite new skill I learned in 2025.

 

I hope your year journey has handled you with care, taught you a few new things

and opened you up to what could be next. 

 

 

Joy & CHEER

 

It's that time of the year!

What gets you through DECEMBER?

I feel a little guilty for not liking December. It's cold, for an already responsible person the demands ramp up, up, up. I'm an introvert & the ongoing activities drain me. I thought of a view of my favorite things in December- the one I keep on repeat!

Forgot one... please imagine a bright red amaryllis in this print. 

Happy Hanukkah

 

I made this image over twenty years ago and it still makes me happy! This was printed on kids placemats  with the option to be personalized with a name, sold through The Land of Nod for many years.

Wishing all those who celebrate, a very Happy Hanukkah! 🕯

Red Reindeer Forest

 

If ever I felt like I needed more light it is in the month of DECEMBER! The thing I like most about the holidays is that they are bright. Bring on the twinkly lights! 

For this print I wanted to focus on the color red, one of my favorites. I also wanted to include some surprising colors alongside it. Relying less heavily on the traditional red & green of Christmas. When I think forest, I think deer so of course I added a few of those too!

This print was sold to The Company Store. I think it be great for cozy flannel sheets. 

For the love of pink!

 

Hope the start of the holiday season has you feeling merry & bright! 

(No pressure, it is still early December- there is time.)

Woke up to snow.... how apropos! Happy December 1st.

 

This one got turned into a wintery wishes card for Calypso.
 

 From one snow scene to another... here's the view from my studio window.

I don't love snow but I tell myself I'm in a snow globe and that helps!
