Lost tooth and to do list tiles

Time always moves way to quickly for me. There never seem to be enough hours in the day to get all the things done that I want and need to, and when it comes to my children - well, I feel like every time I blink they have grown a bit more.
Busy painting lots of "To Do List Tiles" for the upcoming Centerville Pumpkin Festival.
My baby - lost his first tooth the other night. How did he get to be such a big boy?

Hello Again Blog!

Well, it has been a while! I finally got over bronchitis, but then seemed to get caught up in playing "catch up" with life! I've been busy with many new animal adventures - had a run in with a red tail hawk and a white corn snake one weekend. You can find out more on my Artwork blog. Then Friday night I found a baby toad on my front porch. I thought my boys would enjoy taking a quick look at the cute little fellow, so I brought him inside. He managed to jump out of my hands and all around our foyer. I finally caught him without hurting him, but the poor little guy must have been scared out of his wits, because he managed to pee all over me!!! Boy could that little guy pee!
I've also been busy getting ready for the Centerville Pumpkin Festival coming up on Oct. 20th, here in Richmond, VA. Hosted by Etsy - hooray, what fun!
I'll be posting other pumpkin and Halloween items soon!
And I've been painting a purse for a local charity auction run by LINC to help women with breast cancer. I am honored to have been asked to make this piece. Other local artists along with celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Adrianna Trigianni will be donating bags.
Not the toad who visited us, but a larger version of what our little guy looked like. Not to worry, I put him under the shrub next to our front porch after his exciting adventure.

Bronchitis and Polka Dots

I have gotten so behind on everything from housework to painting after having bronchitis the last week and a half. I am finally feeling human again, and managed to get this plate listed in my etsy shop today. Hooray! (it's the little things that make my day! ;-) )
Red and Lime Green Polka Dot Plate and Spreader Set

I've been featured!

I was recently contacted by Sally of Polka Dot Market about featuring my Halloween Personalized Tile on her blog Polka Dot Mom. I was honored to be asked! Stop by and check out her blog if you have the time, there are lots of adorable polka dot items made by other Etsymoms! Very cute stuff!!!

Update on Mourning Dove, and More

Just wanted to post an update on the little mourning dove. I drove and walked by the neighbors house several times yesterday, and every time I did I saw the mother mourning dove on the ground near the shrubs. So it looks like she was looking after her little one. I have not seen either one today, so I'm just hoping for the best.
More baby animal excitement though - our lab puppy found this little baby squirrel in our yard tonight! She is such a little cutie pie! You can find out more about her on my Artwork by Andrea Blog.
Seems to be our week for baby animal rescues!
