What wonderful pieces of art! I just love them; they would be so perfect for a child’s bedroom or playroom. Even my room! There are many more pieces in her shoppe, so stop by and take a look……. 🙂
Well, this is my first post about me in a while. 😉 I have been busy with Umbrella Ave. and work, even though very neglectful of the poor little blog. I hope you’ll all forgive me when I show you some peeks at what I’ve been working on. I’ve decided to add a new line of miniature stuffed animals to my shoppe. They won’t premiere until the art show in November (wait………I didn’t post about the art show?…….wow, I really have been neglectful), but I want to show a few photos here. These are only progress shots of my newest stuffie addition, but you can see the other animals I’ve made in the last photo. These will be sold separately in little jars with lids. The inspiration came from the last issue of Where Women Create, which I will try to post photos of next week. Don’t hold your breathe, though. I would hate for anyone to pass out while waiting for me to get in gear. 😉
Lovely spools of thread which were used in my new line of embroidered footwear art.

The stuffies are completely sewn by hand with reproduction fabrics!

I love owls. Retro owls, mostly, with bright colors in orange, brown, & green, etc. So I thought it would be fun to post a bunch of them that I found on Etsy. Enjoy! 🙂

I LOVE these handpainted vintage pieces by roundtrip. She only uses items that are in excellent condition, so you can actually use these suitcases and purses without feeling like they are shabby. Some of the pieces shown here are sold already, but be sure to check out her shoppe, as new items are added all of the time! The following 5 are my favorites:
I can’t believe these are painted free-hand!
My blog has been quiet for a while now, so I thought I would share some pics of the projects I’ve been working on. Below you can see my first Re-Ment display which is for sale on my Etsy shoppe. The display is made from an old (and tiny) board book. I glued some of the “pages” together and covered the resulting walls in scrapbook paper. The edges are covered with narrow ribbon and a nice felt is attached to the back and bottom. I think this set turned out really well, and I’m hoping to make some more soon. Each of the miniature sets is also available separately on my website, so check them out if you have the chance. http://www.kindercottagekeepsakes.com/ — And click on the link marked Re-Ment!

Here’s a quick view of a more simple Re-Ment display. Also sold on my Etsy shoppe, it’s made from a hand folded paper box and holds one set of miniatures. They are all glued in and the resulting shadow box is ready to set anywhere. I thought of putting a hanger on the back………maybe next time.
My featured Etsian for the week is Sascalia. She has some wonderfully winsome artwork in her shop. I love the fact that these are all mixed media, with beautiful papers and other objects creating most of the picture. They are sold as a print on wood, which really adds to the end effect. Check out her other items…………they are very affordable and so cute!
