It's true, I'm a lucky girl.

My very favorite presents are handmade, and this Christmas treated me very well! 

Boy Kid drew me a picture of Lulu Dog. I love it! It looks just like her.

Dylan got me these little anthropomorphic mushrooms made by my uber-talented friend Megan over at The Merry Ghost. So cute!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We commissioned a portrait to commemorate our sweet Tuzy from one of my favorite artists, Jennifer Davis. I really love how it turned out!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And my adorable little mother-dear got me an amazingly gorgeous, totally hand-quilted, red and white quilt! I've always wanted a red and white quilt!

And this last bit isn't exactly a Christmas present, and wasn't for me, but Dylan made it over our Christmas break, so it kinda counts. He made a short video for our friend Matt Mercurio showcasing some of Matt's art. I'm continually amazed by all the awesome stuff my sweet Dylan can do.



I'm a very lucky girl indeed.

Today's Table

 

Finishing the second of 4 quilted paintings I've got in the works today, and moving on to #3. Dylan has them all stitched up for me and ready to paint. They're draped over the back of my yellow chair waiting for my full attention. In the meantime I made a mushroom, a goat, and a kitty. We're hoping to get back into the rhythm of having a new batch of one-of-a-kinds (or at least ONE) ready every Sunday, like we used to. That means we'll be phasing out most of the limited editions over the next month or two. (So if you've had your eye on a particular piece, best get it soon.) So many exciting ideas racing around the Cart right now!

Happy New Year!
