Winter has arrived.....

Winter is finally here!! It has been snowing on and off all day here and we received about 4" so far with a chance for about 3 more inches. It is very windy and supposed to get below 0 with the wind chill....brrrrrr!! I love seeing the snow fall...reminds me of a snow globe but hate having to leave the house and drive in it!! I am so happy I have tomorrow off of work and can work on a few creations :)


Two days ago, Hubby and I made a kitty shelter outside under our pool deck for the strays outside. We sectioned off an area and put up some black landscape cloth and then went around and hung plastic to make a tent like house for them. We then put up some plywood to help block the wind even more. It is blocked from the wind really good! We have a medium size dog house, a house made from a plastic tote and a tote that is laid on its side all filled with a ton of straw. The whole area has about 2 feet of straw in it along with water and food. We feed 4 stays...Scruffy, he is white and grey (I think he is the oldest), Whitey....he is all white with golden eyes. He is starting to come around and actually let me pet him for just a second. The other day when I fed him he walked about a foot away from me and started rolling around on the ground and then got up and walked away...I think he was saying "thank you for the food!" Then we have two new comers....Half and Half....he is dark gray and white and Little One...he is about one to two years old and is the youngest. He is also grey and white. Whitey and Half and Half don't seem to be as afraid of people like the other two and I just hope they were not someones cat and they let them out to fend for themselves. That just breaks my heart!! I worry about them all as if they were my kids and am trying to help them survive the best I can, especially in this colder weather!! I have two indoor cats and cannot bring in anymore. My female is very territorial and it took 4 months for her and my male to get along! They are both rescues and I wish I could rescue them all and do more for them!!

Happy New Year & A New Creation

I hope everyone is enjoying the New Year and I wish everyone good health, happiness, more good times and less hard times and success in all that you do!!


I thought with the new year, I would try a new art medium...clay!! I have just listed on Ebay my first doll of the year and my first OOAK clay head doll. I have had so much fun creating this set and cannot wait to start on my next character!! Hope you can stop by my auction to see all the detail this set has. This is a great set for the Primitive Santa/Winter Doll Collector!!

Have a great week!
