Shop update {part I}

Poor Tillie lost her favorite ball
in the school yard today...

Wilford has kept a secret journal
ever since he was a young boy...

Adette loves the dresses
that Gran sews for her...

Christoffer dreams every night
of the jockey that he will become...

Halfrida wishes that people
would quit making fun of her name...

Fritzie wondered why he always
had to feed the chickens...

Griselde could bake bread
all day long...

what's on my lap today?

Today I am working on some new goodies for my shop!

They will primarily be ink on paper, and the larger pieces will have a hint of colored pencil.

It is a beautiful, sunny day here,

so I am just going to enjoy a little music and drawing time.

I feel like I haven't been creating enough lately.

I hope that everyone has a lovely Friday~

The Tale of How

I found this short on YouTube over the weekend.

It is an amazing film created by The Black Heart Gang.

I found it absolutely beautiful, and couldn't wait to share it with you.

One problem that I have, though, is that I watched it first on my itouch.  
The resolution and detail was absolutely incredible.  
Sadly, on my computer, it is a bit hazy...but still awesome!
I hope you enjoy~

She wanted so badly to be graceful,

like a swan,

instead of the clumsy little girl

she felt she was.

Indie Fixx Haiti Relief Fundraiser

Jen @ Indie Fixx is coordinating a silent auction of items that have been donated by indie crafters, artists and designers. Each day she will share a new batch of items on Indie Fixx that you can bid on via the comments. You will be able to see everyone's bids and rebid if you get outbid. The highest bidder will win the item and pledges the amount bid towards the Red Cross International Response Fund. The item will then be sent out in the mail to you from the artist, crafter or designer who donated it.

At the end of the whole auction period, she will donate 100% of the proceeds to the Red Cross International Response Fund. She will pay all the Paypal fees herself...so if you bid $50 for an item, $50 will be donated to the Red Cross. She will also be sharing a copy of the Red Cross donation notice on Indie Fixx and will email all the auction winners a copy as well.

There are tons of terrific donations on the site.
