The fox bag for my neighbor, complete.
It’s not too late to order a slaPPhaPPie pillow or bag as a present for the holidays!

Oh! Hi there! I almost forgot about slapphappie! My neighbor custom designed a fox tote yesterday and all my fabric cutting/stitching skills came flooding back to me. I thought, “Oh yeah! The holidays are coming! I should remind people about my old Etsy business!” I’ve been so focused on my new Etsy business, snapphappie, where I sell photographs, and on illustrating a children’s book that I’ve been writing, that I’ve not been in my studio in some time.
I have about 12 items on my Etsy site, ready to go, and there are three weeks until Christmas, so if you’d like to custom order anything on a bag or a pillow, private message me and we can get something started!

Thank you, Bro & Jess, for getting hitched and giving slapphappie an opportunity to spend some time in my studio last week!
Happy Wedding!

Smith, a geriatric Scottie dog, got his portrait immortalized on a slapphappie pillow. The sweater is part of his daily ensemble; it had to be included!

When my friend Jonny Verderber asked me to use my artistic license and abstract style to create a portrait of his wife Gretchen and their son Emerson on a 14” shiny red pillow, I must admit I was reticent to accept the custom order. But the challenge appealed to my audacious side, and what I created made me realize that being daring is fun. And Gretchen loved her Mother’s Day present, to boot!
Thanks Jonny!

I've been in love with mid-century design, especially Scandinavian, for about twenty years (thanks to the influence of my college bestie Lisa Connolly's exquisite taste!). I've been trying to get that Danish feel into my work for a few years now, but I think I've finally got it! More animals are on their way!
