Looking Forward to Spring

We did get the snow....and the ice

I was able to clear a little snow yesterday, and the sun is shining which is unusual in Pittsburgh.

My car doors are iced shut.... and my poor car, needs dug out. The temperature is not suppose to get warmer, so it looks like I'll be staying home for awhile. What a shame, another day Needle Punching. Ohhhhhh.... my!  I think I will work on Home sweet Home pattern.

Yesterday I was able to finish a punch needle, Jacobean Floral I will post it soon. I heard from a good friend of mine called yesterday, she would like another large Spindle person, she had purchased one in the past and would like a pair. So I will prime the spindle this morning and let it settle for painting, keep you posted!

Stay warm,

Kate

Happy Mothers Day

My heart goes out to all the mothers out there!

Today is a day to celebrate, a day to spend with your family, for me to celebrate and think of my mother who has passed, but not forgotten. A day that I spend thinking of my children. My children have gone there separate ways. But I remember the days when we were a family. The happy days, when little things counted so much. Don't overlook the little things, when they fly the coop you will remember. 

TAKE TIME TO ENJOY THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Happy Easter

Acrylic Rabbit Sign

Althought it doesn't look like Easter, it has arrived.

 I would like to wish you a wonderful holiday.

Happy New Year

HELLEBORE'S ON SLATE

I want to thank everyone who joined me for my Christmas Party!

 It was wonderful to see everyone again,

and Thanks to you it was a very successful Christmas Season.

The snow is falling,

Winter has come in with the New Year.

For me it's time to huddle in and start thinking about spring.

 I truly become a hermit in the winter, since I am very afraid to drive in the snow.

Thankfully my studio is at my home, I'm happy as a clam!

SpRIng  FliNG,

Will come quickly, so I'll work hard to bring many new items, for my lovely customers. I had many requests for bird nests with eggs, so I will be working on an original way to bring the nests to you.  If there is anything you would especially like to see please don't hesitate to comment or email me, I will do my best to bring it to the Cottage. 

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Huddle in and enjoy the Winter!



"Diamond Market"

Dimensions: 62" long by 22" wide

A very unusual piece, It is a partial view of a large hanging canvas. I love to find items that are ready for the dumpster and revive them. The Top of this canvas is a very old chair back, which I purchased at a fleatique, The bottom was not very special but the top was outstanding. So I disassembled it and added my own artwork at the bottom. Along with the chair back, I added some very detailed painted copper to add texture next came some beautiful trim and then the Jacobean diamond whimsical canvas. Finished at the bottom with more trim and copper. This piece would look outstanding in a family room.
