This is one of several ornaments I am working on this holiday season.

Painted Letters

Painted letters for a child's bedroom. I'll post the pictures of the letters hung in the bedroom soon. They hung them over their newborn's crib. Surprise! His name is Rory and his bedroom has a truck/ construction theme!

A new business venture??

This is the cover of a recipe book I painted for a friend's bridal shower. 

It was a lot of fun to paint! The couple met in Boston, love to ski and fish, have a cat named Wakefield, are getting married down the Cape, and now live in London. There are lots of other fun, little details as well like the wedding date and their college logo aprons. 

Here's Heather with her new recipe book! Can't wait to make another one!!
