Crackin WIPS!
Has it been over a week since I last posted?? Wow! For one thing I had a rush of orders in the last couple of weeks that has kept me even busier than usual! On top of that my sister and I are back into our art business, HM Designs, are creating new things for our up and coming web site! With that going on and this being my busiest time of year for lanterns I decided this week I was going to crack the whip and start getting up earlier! So I woke up at 5:30 today and hit the door at 6:30 with Angus for a glorious morning run! No more putting myself last and running at the END of the day! I spent years doing it first thing and its just more efficient energy wise. That and I have never been a night person! If I don't put myself first, who will? NOW...I have lots of things to pack and ship today...a few orders to finish the first of the week and then I am going to make some ornaments, a cat head shaker, and a variety of halloween lamps, with Moon tops! Here is my latest Large 15" moon on eBay:



His auction ends at Thursday night around 9:30 EST!


and here are some WIPS...



Still have to paint the eyes on this cat, and the nose...



cute little ornaments, un finished..AND a cute little wrought iron hanging candleabra I am turning into a jack o lantern or moon candleabra!

Back up to the work table for me!!!

Love it all!!! Good for you...I've always believed "If Momma ain't happy, nobody's happy!!" Don't wait like me when I realized putting myself 1st took me most of my adult life...I'm 57 now and loving it!! Waiting for the birth of my 4th grandson who is on his way as we speak. Love being a grannie...I'm a card carrying AARP member and now have license to misbehave!! LOL

I love the candlelabra idea. I think the mark of a truly creative person is one who sees another way to look at something. You are so very good at that!
