whew

It's been a while since my last post. Now that christmas is over hopefully i'll be a little better about posting. Anyway, new chubbikins at my etsy store! Owls and moose(s?). Take a look!

ice storm

There was a big ice storm that hit maine and NH thursday night. We woke up to no power and an icy wonderland. At first i thought it was pretty. But after two long days of no power and freezing temperatures, i decided i'm fine with not ever seeing an ice storm again.  

snow day!

It snowed for the first (real) time of the year yesterday. And boy, was it pretty!

We woke up to find ourselves in a winter wonderland. 
It was that pretty, light, fluffy snow where you can see all the different flakes. 

The Public Gardens in Boston were very picturesque. 

My mom and i stumbled upon the public gardens when we got lost on our way to the Bizarre Bazaar at the Castle. The bazaar was a lot of fun, but a little overwhelming. If i manage to get in next year as a vendor, i'll have to have someone with me to keep me from going crazy. There were so many people! But there was a lot of cool stuff to look at and it was a lot of fun.

happy thanksgiving (yesterday)

I'm sort of hoping this pumpkin will just disintegrate and fall through the slats in the porch. We shall see... 

open studio

This past weekend i joined my mom for open studios at the mill. Thankfully i didn't do as badly as i did at the last one. 

I made awesome posters to direct people to my mom's studio.

Keep going!

Wow, what a set up!

Day One: I was feeling confident and optimistic

Who wouldn't want to buy one? And at such a bargain!

Day Two: Feeling slightly depressed and very unsuccessful. Things picked up later on in the day. 

All in all, i'm glad i did it. And i will probably do it again next year. But probably not in the springtime. My mom sold a lot of books, so i guess i better get cracking. People seem to like buying books for their kids more than toys. But can you stuff a book in a stocking? I don't think so. 

poor jack

new chubbikins!

Here are my two newest Chubbikins: hedgehog and raccoon. I made three of each and they'll be for sale at the upcoming open studio. If they don't sell, expect to see them on etsy soon!
