In the depths of winter...

source

It's been awhile since I posted...I wish I could say

'wow...time flew' but I can't- it doesn't.

This time of year, time more like stands still. I've been somewhat inflicted with the winter blahs...the kind where you don't feel like doing anything.

I cook, and we eat..then I cook again...and we eat again...this seems to be the routine as of late. It's getting old. Hurry spring...my waisteline depends upon your timely arrival!

I'm hoping the next week will be better than the last. In my mind I've so many things to get doing- but no get-up-and-go to do them with.

Perhaps next week will be better. I'm thinking of starting some seeds indoors just so I can feel some dirt on my fingers...that is always comforting for me. Today I'm going to pick up a Lilac scented candle...the aroma might just do the trick.

CSN winner & new signs!!

(each photo is a link to the item in my etsy shop)


First... a little bling for your studio!
next... I finally finished my latest putti... she now declaresLa Belle Jardin ~ The beautiful Garden~ ...all chippy, cracked and worn but oh so elegant!

Then a little ooh la la...

tell your sweetie it's okay to get you lingerie this Valentine's day...lingerie for the wall ... oui!

Off to London, Notting Hill to be exact...well, dreaming of it anyways,

someday

*sigh*

Okay...I saved the most exciting one for last.

I've gone a little retro with this one.

It was inspired by everyone's favorite carnival gal...Lulu!!

did you see her blog post where she shared this photo she snapped?

well it inspired this...



The Tempest!...so much fun to create... the whole time I was remeniscing about my teenage years..Friday nights at Rocky Point Park in Warwick Rhode Island...it was THE place to be...any of you New Englanders remember Rocky Point? I was there just about every friday night ~ either there or Bobby's Rollaway in Pawtucket, roller skating! okay, now I feel old. :( Hope everyone is having a good week! I'm off to clean my studio, I've created quite a mess, as usual:)

Let's warm up with a HOT giveaway!

This winter chill isn't giving up. What ever happened to Delaware January's where we would reach 60 degrees on some days? It didn't happen everyday, just enough to give you a break from this bone chilling weather. C'est la vie! But suppose we make our own heat...with a giveaway! When CSN contacted me about doing another giveaway on my blog, that's just what I thought. CSN has over 200 stores that carry everything from swingsets to firepits to hot tubs, and they are offering a 55.00 gift certificate to the winner...to spend anywhere in one of their 200 stores!

take a look at a few items that *warmed me up*!

a girl can dream, right?

Entering is easy...just leave a comment on this post - (feel free to gripe with me about this cold weather!) and on Wednesday (19th) I'll pick a winner via random.org -simple!
Good luck & think spring!!
