At some point I ordered a more petite size of lilac keychain and then set them aside when they were delivered and never listed them, until today. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you’d like a sweet little charm for your key ring or maybe a cute little filler gift for an Easter basket you can find them in the shop.

Art for these charms was originally hand drawn and colored by me using a mix of alcohol ink marker and acrylic paint. 🎨

I’m about to mount another tile but would like a vote! Which orientation is your fave? Majority wins again😘

Dogwood stickers are popular in the shop right now. With Easter around the corner and spring inching near folks must be starting to plan. 💛

These were created from a hand drawn, hand colored piece I did at this time last year. They are printed on durable, water resistant vinyl that holds up in the dishwasher or other locations that can be exposed to moisture.

I need to mount this tile and cant decide which orientation feels best, so i’m putting it here for majority rules!

Picture A, or Picture B?

Sneak peek! I have a couple more tiles to mount within a frame and a bit of finish work on some of the backs, but the restock is coming along!

I’ve created a new floral piece at the start of each year since I opened my little Etsy. The timing is unintentional but it probably has a lot to do with me being ready for spring as soon as Christmas is over. However, I haven’t started one yet this year. I’ll need to think on what to create next.

I did this foxglove piece 3 years ago, it continues to be a best seller in sticker and key chain form! 🥰

Aside from packing orders it’s been over a month since I’ve worked in the shop! Phew. I’ve definitely wanted to be creating but other things have taken priority.

I’m managing some finish work this week by sealing art tiles in epoxy. Hoping to have some pieces framed and listed mid to late next week.

I’m eager to work on other projects too, some new products, we’ll just have to see how soon mom life allows time for them. 💛

New pattern available on some functional items in the shop and reminder that this is the last day to order print on demand items for guaranteed manufacturing and arrival by Christmas.

Handmade items still have some grace time, are promptly shipped by me, and many of those items are currently on sale!

Representation matters, especially for our littlest ones who find the most magic in Christmas and may not see themselves in the typical portrayals of this season’s characters. Alternate versions of my hand painted holiday friends are finished and available in the shop. 💛

I said a few weeks back there would be no new ornament releases this season but that turns out to be a partial truth. When the shop was on vacation I realized that I both wanted to and should be offering representation on my Santa and Gnome pieces.

Here’s a little peek at the progress so far. They should be complete in time to go live the early part of the weekend and they will be part of the current ornament sale.

Before and after dabble of the day.

I’m pondering whether this will be a mounted tile or if I’ll pull the paint skin and use it for the jewelry I’ve been meaning to attempt.

I’ve cooked, I’ve cleaned, and while my mini me snoozed I coated the last of my on hand hex tile supply in paint.

I love adding color shift paints to my palettes, so many surprise hints of color and shimmer appear! Green and lavender made visits on this one.

Working on creating restocks of some items that have sold out because pieces like this are 2-3 weeks from start to finish.

Both of these pieces have sold! 🎉

Now it feels like empty nest in the shop. That feeling is ridiculous because there are still ample offerings on my site, but not hexes so I’m definitely excited to create more and see what new unique variations develop.

A few shop updates:

Another small batch of fluid art ornaments is available in the shop and this is the last of all ornament releases for the season.

These sunflower ornaments were best sellers last year, I made several batches to keep up with the demand and by the final batch sales had come to a rest for the season. They’re 3” round and painted and sealed on both sides. I have a little handful left at 15% off.

Unmasking backs and doing some finish work on ornaments and wall art that will release a bit later this week.

I can’t wait to do individual shots of the ornaments so their shimmering, glassy features are better captured.

Gnomes and snowmen were temporarily sold out today. Luckily I had back ups ready, I just hadn’t updated the numbers in my listings! If you were hoping for one, they’re available. 😊

Santa ornaments are ready! You’ll find them with their other Christmas friends in the shop.

Kiddo and I were chatting on the way to school about ornament ideas. I listed off all the characters I had already done and he VERY quickly realized I hadn’t made Santa. So, here’s a draft of Santa. 🎅🏻
