new work, new plans, new dreams.

hello friends and a belated happy new year to you!

what have i been up to since christmas?

probably the same as you.

i ate too much and drank too little.

now i am in need of a little diet and a lot of exercise.

i tore apart the house and bought a million dollars worth of plastic storage bins from target.

i wrestled the treadmill out of the garage and into the house, only to find that it's in need of repair.

husband promises to take a look at it.

i planned and booked our (my sister and i) 4 th annual trip to adamstown, pa for the spring extravaganza.

oh how i need a weekend of treasure hunting!

i sent out the invites to my second monthly CrafTEA Ladies Night where old friends and new friends come to my home for an evening of crafts, tea and chat. so fun!!

it has snowed twice since christmas...not a good sign, and more is expected on tuesday. i'm not a big fan of winter and snow just does me in. a dusting here and there is ok but when the roads get bad and i'm stuck indoors...ugh!

i received my very first gardening catalog in the mail the other day and promptly went to the studio and created this...

i cut roses from the pages and pasted them right on.

she, like me, is dreaming of spring!

this piece will be in the shop some time this week.

also in the creative department, the january update for spooky time jingles, the 13th, is right around the corner so stop back for a preview of my pieces for this month.

i have a kooky halloween painting and a few valentine pieces that were featured in somerset studio's holidays and celebrations magazine.

whooo!

enjoy your week.
