Ah it's that time of year again--holidays coming, and Birthdays mean lots of art to do! I am sorry I haven't been showing my face too much lately--I started a new job that is full-time now and I've been doing arts like crazy! End of October on means lots of birthdays and now with an extended family it means even more! So I have pulled out pencils, markers, paints and the like to create. I've also been plotting some Christmas decorations I want to make and last Sunday my husband, mother in law and me sat around making a few clay ornaments (now they just need to be painted!) so that was lots of fun. I also did a few volunteer art-pieces for a Golden Retriever rescue that is local. They will be using my banner and another artwork in their next quarterly newsletter!
I have to run off for now but I will post pictures of the makings very soon. Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone! :)

Happy Veterans Day!
Apologies for the late update (I know I said I'd do it sooner) but this past week was my second and final week of training at my new job so I was busy busy busy! I passed my test yesterday (Praise God!) which is great--Monday I'll be working at my official place of work on my own! Wow! I got this new job from a family friend who asked if I would like a full-time job and I said yes. So far I am liking it lots!
Tomorrow Mr. Fox, me, my wonderful mother in law and awesome "little" cousin and my cool but crazy brother in law will be going antiquing! I suppose I should take photos with my phone if I see anything so interesting it's worth blogging about!
I have also updated my ETSY site! Yippie! I have a sign I'll show you and my first needle felted project--a sheep ornament too!

Needle Felting?
Hello friends--first I want to say THANK YOU for all the prayers. We appreciate them so much! :) So I can't thank you enough.
Second, the other week ago was my birthday and Mr and Mrs. Whimzy came over with a basket of goodies--one of them was a little set of needle-felting needles! I also got some wool from my Mother in Law too! So I've been using pet slicker brushes to comb through it (after I cleaned it) to make some rudimentary "roving" or something like it and tried needle felting! I can't put up a picture right now but so far I've made a little sheep ornament! I'm making another. These I will be selling for $7 on Etsy once I get them up. By the way--I am soooo completely new to it! If you have any tips let me know! I literally JUST picked up this new craft!
When I was unable to go to work last week I also did some other art projects. It helped keep me busy and my mind on happier things. I have a completed "Fall Blessings" sign I painted and sculpted a little Labrador from clay (working on painting him now, his name is Bert). I don't have a ton of time at this moment but I'll update with pics when I am able!
The last thing is the holidays are coming--so if you would like a custom commissioned painting or drawing or whatnot let me know--I am open for them and have pretty cheap prices! :D
That's all for now friends--more later! (either tonight or tomorrow I hope--but we have Bible Study later (yay!) so it'd have to be if we have time after that!
