I painted another snowman painting...just  want to share the steps with you....

First I take a large canvas and cover it with old book pages.

I added a house with pretty papers and started painting my snowmen....making sure to leave some of the print to see through.

I added a walkway from the house to the snowmen.

I added a sky too.

and many hearts....

Here comes a tree and details to the house....like the door and windows.

another tree, details the the house and eyes for the snowmen....

a nose for each snowman and arms....

more snow....

more details with a stabilo pencil....

looking sharper...cute and corny!

and here it is ready...it is similiar to one I painted a few years ago....

but this one has two snowmen and more detail. 

a little shiny in this one,  but very fun!

I am happy!

Tomorrow is FALL!

Fall is in the air!

I love when things change....the cooler air, the colors change on the trees...it is magical! 

The summertime craziness is over....fall has a more relaxed quality.

I also love all the pumpkin spice harvest scents in all the candles and such. 

I just love the orange, brown, yellow and reds of this time of year. 

I need to put away some everyday decorations in my house ...to clear the areas for 

HALLOWEEN

I love this saying!

My sisters don't mind...they just laugh.

The witch above is Agatha Willow...a doll pattern of mine.

She is a forest witch. 

My pumpkin pin cushion....lil pearl teeth and a twig nose! 

My witch ornies....the pattern comes with the witches faces. 

I love pumpkin anything...it is my favorite symbol of Halloween.

These guys are attached to a paper mache box....perfect to hold treats. 

Sweet pumpkin guy doll and his skull balloon. 

They have a good time together! 

This is sweet harvest...a little stitchery design....fast and easy.

Fangs for the memories....this is a goofy yet sweet vampire.

The bats on the design are felt.

Witch badges...fun to wear to a party if you don't want to dress up.

Artwork for 6 different designs are in the pattern 

BOO

I loved making these pumpkins and the owl...perfect for a grapevine swag. 

He is just muslin 

And so is he! 

This is an older design....but One of my favorites!

I stitched these on old tea towels instead of white muslin and then framed or put in to a pillow.
