A few new studio photos to share!

I am SO happy that the new studio is almost finished!

You all knew how much I had and it truly has been a challenge

fitting it all into our new space but it's working!

OH and in other news....

I've decided to go silver!!!!

It's kind of hard because I've used cheap box color on my dark hair for so long.

But my sweet niece Adrian worked for hours to get me to this point!

It's a work in progress but I'm ready.

I'm almost 58 years old and tired of coloring the stuff!!!

Just our kitty sweet Luna loving the trash basket!

I still haven't gotten back to creating because I've been working on a huge yard sale!

My son and I have been going through all that I have and he's purging from his home as well.

As soon as it's over I pray that I will finally feel comfortable enough to create again.

So in the mean time I've taken a few close up photos of the new studio!!!

It's okay to have a few mascots, right?

Our precious otter and my antique Tutti doll.

Always surround yourself with all that you love!!!

It will inspire your creative soul and be such a precious space of refuge.

Thank you always for stopping by to see what I'm up to.

I'm praying that very soon I will have new offerings that I've made too!!

Hugs and love,

Dawn

Happy New Year dear friends!

Yes...I know. I know.

I've been gone a long, long time.

But I really do love this blog and SO pray

that I can connect with you all

much more here this new year.

The transition of moving was so easy, the move?

Not so much.

I hate to keep harping on that fact but it truly was a hard thing.

We are now settled in our sweet new home and now that Christmas is over

I feel like I can now concentrate on decorating AND

of course working on the new studio!!!

When you have the amount of STUFF that I have, because believe me

when you are an artist you really need the items, materials and supplies

to create what comes to your mind...it's a daunting task to organize it all.

So that is my goal for the new year!!

To get the new studio organized and ready to make beautiful things!

My muse is poking me and I am ready to create!!!

I pray you had a beautiful Christmas, we really did!

And now that it's the new year it's time for me to shake off the old

and begin with the new.

Our small tree with big love...

I watched our precious grandbabies while mom and dad had appointments.

Can you believe baby Tilly??? She will be a year old Jan. 25th!!!!

Nine year old big sister Clara is always willing to help! Tilly loves her like a second mama!

And brother Murray chills watching his very favorite show!

Then the princess Tilly sleeps!

We decorated for Christmas...

We celebrated our sweet grandson Owen's 2nd birthday too!!! Born on Christmas eve

and now his daddy and mama, David and Heather are expecting a baby girl in May!!!

We are all SO excited!!! Her name will be Lily...how beautiful is that??

Happy New Year precious friends,
I'm praying for a wonderful one for each and every one of us!!!

So now I will get back to getting my new studio in order because
I am so ready to get back to creating!!!
Wish me luck angels!
I'll share progress soon, promise!

Hugs and love,
Dawn

I'm so loving this new chapter sweet friends!!!

This is the last artwork I created for a dear friend the end of this past September.

She was so pleased with it.

Thank you precious Mary for supporting my creativity dear friend.

I was closing up shop and preparing for a huge move to our new home.

And believe me.

IT HAS BEEN HUGE.

What has happened between then and now?

Caring for my precious grandbabies....

Look at baby Tilly, now 9 months old!!

REALLY?

Clara is 9 going on 10....Murray is now 6!!!

They love their baby sister so much!

Our middle son Brad sold our 2nd son David and his wife Heather their new home!!!

PLUS...they are expecting a new baby in May!!!!

Owen is going to be a big brother!!!

We are so loving that our family is growing.

And their new home is closer to us and is just beautiful!

My precious mother-in-law...Grandma Jackie had her 80th birthday party and

we all celebrated with her!!! Baby Tilly loves her as we all do!

Little Miss Ellie is so loving our new digs...

The gorgeous arrangement that sweet Tammy made for our holiday table this year...
