Wow...It's November!
Time for Pumpkin pie, raking leaves, staying cozy under a blanket, having soup and a fire in the fire place.
It's also craft show season and holiday shop hop time.
And who can forget Thanksgiving?
I love this time of year!
I also created the desktop version....click here to download this one.
Both calendar's were made from my pumpkin pie artwork.

Recently I went to an antique shop (1889 in Spokane) and fell in love with this gutted out Vintage TV.
I took it home and cleaned it up, painted the inside and Selina added lights inside the center.
I love it!
I am going to decorate and display all decorations items ...for each holiday!
Selina is going to make some fake dials for it.
The lights really make it come alive.
I also got this cool owl TV lamp at Two Women antiques store.
It is rare and super cool!
I didn't know there were TV lamps....our TV only had the antennae.

We had a wonder WSQ Quilt show this year...for two years it was cancelled because of Covid.
We had are double booth....which was great because it was super hard to fit it all in.
The booth is basically all my patterns with samples to show each design. Plus my daughter Selina's designs...like her mini hoop pendants hexies, and needle minders.
We had a great turn out and great sales. Our ladder display is always a hit.
The window frame in one of my oldest designs..the pattern sold out and I had to print more in the evening.
I signed my two books and sold dolls too.
It was alot of fun!
Halloween is my favorite and my customers agree. Even though it was getting close to Halloween...everyone wants to work on projects.
My daughter was amazing at hanging things up...my stroke I had 2 years ago makes my balance a little off. I still feel like I have the Frankenstein walk, but my daughter disagrees.
These are some of Selina's products....ornaments, necklaces, pins...all made from wood and embroidery.
You can find her etsy shop here and her website here.
These are some of my newer designs.... everyday patterns...lots of dogs and little dolls.
I couldn't do any of this without of besties~
my husband and daughter.
They help me in everything!

Davy is growing!
He has the softest fun...and he is still naughty.
Here he is picking out his vacation destination for next year....
lol....he is really playing with my map I use when playing Jeopardy.
He is a total stinker....he toots!
I miss Froy very badly but Davy makes it easier.

I bought an IPAD.
It's my very first apple product...I was scared that I wouldn't like it.
But I did!
I subscribed to Procreate....so much fun. I made this kitty....trying out different brushes.
Played with drawing this lil girl. It came to me really fast...but I have experience in Adobe Illustrator.
Then I took a class...with mushrooms and flowers.... I am hooked.
I hope to create on these chilly days coming up.

Cute scarecrow I bought from Sweet meadows farms

I had a rough 6 months....my uncle died, my dad got sicker and sicker, my aunt died and then 4 days later...my dad died.
It has been intense and tested my strength (which seemed weak at points) but things might get a little easier soon.
I also lost Froy and Lucky( my cats) this year.
Next comes a celebration of life for my dear dad.
