Is it really December???

I feel a bit like one of those bowling pins about to be

knock down by the reality that .... yes it is now December!!!

I have a lot of things in the works so I hope to get them to you soon.

New work

I love the colors in this one.

I am making another smaller one that is similar.

This is a larger version of the one I did in the last post.

A bit abstract. I used a lot of fabric for this one.

I am in serious denial that it is November

and Thanksgiving is just around

the corner.

This is usually my favorite of all Holidays.

I just can not keep up with time these days.

Talk to you soon,

Courtney

New work.....

I have a few more in the works......

Talk to you soon,

Growing up

Both of my boys are growing up soooo fast.

They were just little guys a minute ago.......

and look at them now!

Along with growing up , they are learning about how

life has other plans for us.

My youngest had to deal with a major disappointment in his life.

It is so hard to see their little hearts get broken.

I hate it , yet at the same time , I know it will make them strong.

My job is not to prevent it from getting broken,

just to make sure I gather the pieces and help

them put it back together.

I plan to get a rather large jar of super strong glue....

I know I will need it in the coming years,

for theirs and mine!

New things

I have a few new things to show you.

Here is one of my mixed media angels.

I love this piece, although some think

it needs something..... but that is

why I like it.

I have more projects in the works.

I am going to make an effort to post

more frequently.... life has a funny way

of taking time from us!!

Loving the fall weather that is headed our way.

I will be spending my weekend at a few baseball fields.

Talk to you soon!

A look at what I am doing......

Happy anniversary Honey!

A lucky 13 years and counting!

My roots are in sculpture.

I have recently been trying to dive back into

assemblage pieces.

This one I did a few years ago.

This is an oldie but goodie as well.

This is a new piece.

This one is somewhat of a portrait.

It says on the inside

" Remember the

truth of who

we are"

A mixed media figure.

I want to do more of these.

A new collage.

and this is a special portrait headed to

Philly very soon.

Talk to you soon,

Courtney

new work

These are actually cards, however I might make them

into prints.

Talk to you soon!

Courtney

I'm back!!!

Actually, I have been back for awhile..... however the craziness is

starting to settle down.

The kids are back in school, and I am back in school.

The routine of packing lunches, getting to school before the bell rings,

remembering to put on clean socks ( my boys! )

it is all coming back to us.

Although I hate to say good bye to summer.

We are entering my favorite season.

It has the smell of a new start.

I have lots of fun ideas ahead

so stayed tuned.

Talk to you soon,

Courtney

New things.....

I have two of these in the works.

This is in my etsy shop.

So is this.

What is summer without the sea?

My computer has been acting very strange lately, so I have had a hard time posting anything.

Sorry for the delay!

I am off to the Jersey Shore.... see you in a couple of weeks!!!

Courtney

Love these....

Decoupage is one of those words that has the stigma

of craftiness attached to it.

I have nothing against crafty.... but I think it gets a bad rap

in most of the world.

I am a glue and paper gal and I love pattern.

So I died when I found these on line.

Decoupage.... a simple word with anything

but simple results!!

Get your glue and have at it!

Talk to you soon,

Courtney

A lazy summer day.....

I will have new work posted soon!

Talk to you soon,

Courtney

Baseball and summer.....

My boys love baseball. I do to, just not the way they do.

They live eat and breath it!

I think I love it because it is the only sport I :

#1 understand

#2 follow the ball

#3 Can get great pictures

I was thinking they would be done with it after the season closed,

but baseball summer camp is here!!

Talk to you soon!

Works on paper

These are two new works on paper.

They will be in my shop with two original collage

on canvas later tonight.

Talk to you soon,

Courtney

New work....

Here are a few new things I will add to

the shop in the morning.

This piece is much bigger , I will have to take a

photograph of it to show.....

my scanner is tooo small.

Talk to you soon,

Courtney
