Bye bye November

Welcome December!
I haven't had a chance to post any photos of my Thanksgiving yet!
It was lovely and I was so happy to have two of my little grandsons here!!
Sadly  my dad became ill so I flew out the day after Thanksgiving. He is home from the hospital
Now...Thank goodness!

Today I was busy painting when I had a free moment.  I like to make the Christmas cards my parents send out. Last year I did a watercolor of Bruton Parrish in Colonial Williamsburg.
this year I'm painting my 3 grandsons and. Grand nephew as shepherds. I'm so exacted to show you my progress so far!

Better Late Than Never!

Greetings!
As it says at the title of this post...Better late than never...
Wishing You All A Very Happy Thanksgiving!

The hymn we use to sing back at the Albany Academy for Girls says
it so beautifully!

"For the beauty of the earth,
 for the Glory of the skies, 
for the love from which our birth over and around us lies. 
Lord of all to thee we raise, 
this our hymn of grateful praise."


I hope you all had a Beautiful Thanksgiving and now may you be enjoying the
season of Advent!!

First Friday in November

Hello my sweet friends !
How have you all been since our last visit?
Oh how I hope you were not affected by hurricane 
Sandy that blew through here earlier this week!
We missed 2 days of school but thankfully only minor power outages.
Those of you that were and are still suffering from the hurricanes affects
Please, please know that I am praying for you !
I am also boxing up clothing that I will send off to the Red Cross immediately!!

On a much lighter note
Things are pretty well back to normal around here.
Today I continued making some scarves to put in the Limelightartworks Etsy Shop.
I also had a commission for a silk scarf painted in earthy colors with the image of a famous Waterhouse painting. ( The Lady of Shallot  )

Lots of mossy greens and lilac colors.

Here are a few more views of it.

This shot will show a bit more of the purple end of the scarf.

More Soft Necklaces.

Hello and Happy Friday!

I have been pretty busy filling orders for the soft necklaces!
Can I tell you just how tickled I am that
everyone seems to be falling in love with them!
The pins that are custom made for each scarf have been in great demand also!
For instance over at Assumption College
 the mascot is a grey hound.
The school colors are blue and white...
Here is one order that I filled.
This is the way it looked in the box .

And when it is worn it will look like this

I also had an order for a soft necklace in autumn colors.
The commission was to design a dragonfly pin for it.
It came out so cute!

Now, I know I took some photos of it but at the moment I can't seem to locate them yet.  (It's not always so good to have several cameras)

Here is another pink one 
I sold this week.

I made and a sweet little pin for it.

I am having a blast making these!

Have a Super Weekend!!!!

Necklace Scarf

Good morning my friends!
Its a sunny and really chilly morning here in the northeast!
last night there was an earthquake in maine and a lot of people felt
it all the way down here in the Worcester MA area.

No not me... I am oblivious to some things I guess :O)

I have been working on my necklace scarves.
Here is another Halloween one.
This time with two spider's on a pin.

I made another Necklace scarf in autumnal colors.

Then since we set our clocks back in autumn...

I made a pin with a clock. It also has a bit of bling in the 

Fleur de lis, crown and other little charms.

Next Tuesday my school is having a Pink Out!

Everyone will wear lots of pink to bring attention to

October -Breast Cancer Awareness !

So I of course had fun making my PINK

Necklace Scarf

I made a rose and pearl pin for it.

That's all for now!

Happy Wednesday ALL

(The work week is now half over!)

Hugs,

Mary
