Too busy for words

It’s been a while since my last update.  Time is flying faster than a june bug through a duck pond.  I got the email from War Eagle that the fair is just 4 months away… Can you believe it?  Me neither.  So I have kicked production into full gear. 
Signs
I have been working on a number of different hand painted signs.  Each one is unique because I have a short attention span and hate making duplicates. 
If I can overcome my fear of pattern commitment, I plan to offer custom family signs.  They will be 6x12.  I think that is a good size to hang in a kitchen or entry way without seeming too vain, says the girl with a large Escalante above her living room entrance J
Anyway, they will be personalized with your last name and your marriage date.  Price will be $15.00 and they will be painted while you shop. Please pre order or allow up to an hour for me to paint them… The sample shown is just to give you an idea of the wording… I haven’t decided on fonts yet.

I am also attempting some new variations of Santas.  I don’t make many Santas so this is new territory.  I am trying some made out of old beehive bobbins.  Hopefully they will turn out.   I am also hoping to have some sculpted pumpkin ladies and other characters.
AND
I have been busy dyeing cornhusks.  I am hoping to have some Mr. and Mrs. Claus’s and woodland santas and maybe even ONE nativity.  These are the dolls that got me accepted to the Directory of Traditional American Crafts
If you see anything you like and would like to purchase before the Fair, let me know.  If you would like to reserve your family sign, email me.  I only have like 6 of these things.  I will require a deposit of $5 at the time of order and the remaining $10 before shipping.
