Goodbye Fall

Wow, where has the time gone?  Christmas is but days away.  Here is a glimpse of my Fall in pictures.

My little muffin at the park...

I went back home to NB to spend some time with my ailing grandmother, my lovely Mimi.  I took the girls to Daly's Point...

Here are the apple trees I use to love to climb at my grandmothers house...

I use to feel so adventurous being so high up in those trees hiding from the rest of the world (or more likely my brothers :) As I looked at them, all kinds of childhood memories came back from when I would spend the weekends with my grandmother.  She use to get up at the crack of dawn, bake fresh bread and make me this huge spread for breakfast (fit for a queen), including freshly squeezed orange juice.  Being the strong, hard working lady she was, her clothes were always hung out to dry, no matter what the weather...

(For some reason this picture will only post sideways)

This is the first of a series of clothes line pieces I am doing in honour of my Mimi.

**UPDATE** I have moved.  Come check out this post on my new blog http://peaberrydesigns.com/goodbye-fall-2/

Follow-up from the faire

So many things going on this month.  I unfortunately do not have any pictures from the fair as I forgot my brand new camera (that I got for my birthday from my lovely man, which I love, love, love, camera that is, well and the man).  I feel like such an idiot for such an oversight.  I am still hoping some of the vendors may have gotten pics they can forward.  I was so impressed with all of the great quality and original items from the vendors.  I had a great day and sold many paintings.  Namely the top one in the picture below.

I used my Tim Holtz dress form stamp. I LOVE all of his stuff.  Oh, to be independently wealthy, I would buy all of his products in a second.

We are already on the look out for another larger venue for our spring edition of Savoir Faire. So, if you have any ideas in the downtown Aylmer area please let me know.

Mushroom Medley

And here is my finished project.  I think it turned out pretty cute, toot toot, haha!

The Art & Crafts Savoir Faire

A few pieces I have finished for the upcoming Art & Crafts Savoir Faire being held on September 10, 2011 at the Aylmer United Church in Aylmer, Quebec which is just 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa.  Come check out all the original artwork and crafts from 10am to 5pm.  If you are interested in being a vendor we can be reached at artcraftsavoirfaire@hotmail.com.

A couple of girlie pieces

I thought I might post a couple of mixed media pieces I finished. Felt a bit unnatural to leave the border white, but went with it anyway. Tres pink, which is not like me, but I love the way they turned out.
