Dear Mom...from N.C.

I have traveled many miles from one coast to another to meet my new family...
On Saturday I arrived in N.C.,
was removed from my traveling enclosure,
and found a whole new world here,
there is this silly, but interesting artist like you mom,
that I now sit and watch as he creates...
he took me on a tour of his garden,
and mom I have to say it is a great big world out here, I mean look at this lion!!!!
Well I am making new friends, and wanted you to know all is well with my new family.
I will stay in touch, thanks for making me and sending to live in this new place...
Love,
Your little Poppet

Take a peek outside my desk...

Here are two of my favorite collections that sit above my desk, my Johanna Parker Original Halloween pieces, and on another iron shelf above them, is my Lori Rudolph POP Ornaments, which I will have another one there soon, hence the awkward placement!
The little witch should arrive any day now with another chenille ornament too...

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE...

A place for everything and everything in its place...has been my long standing expression of how my work area should be...well with three kids be-bopping around, that is not always so...my desk does however stay neat, especially now that it is located in our living area...Here are some photos of where I work...
I use my desk mainly for my computer-ETSY, EBAY,ETC. and basic sketching...a lot of the time I will have my computer on for ideas and my sketch pad to the side. My desks also houses all my works, as you can see them tucked safely away in one of the nooks of my writing desks, there are also nooks with note pads, one of which houses note pads from Johanna Parker...a dictionary is hidden behind the screen, but I usually m-w.com
anyhow...pencils, pens, scissors, and other writing utensils are housed in handmade pottery I have collected over the years. I normally move to the dining room table to paint in watercolors, and I usually use my wife's vanity to pencil in colored pencils...(better light)and that is how I roll...always wanted to say that. Thanks for stopping by my creative crib!

At the bottom you can get a blurry peek of a new piece hitting EBAY Sunday night...
