Paper Flower Window
I handmade hundreds of individual flowers to cover a large picture window in my bedroom. It's a beautiful thing to wake up to every morning. Each flower is constructed out of paper.

Dia De Los Muertos Chalkboard
I like to use my big chalkboard to keep things festive for the season and holidays. Here, we celebrated Dia De Los Muertos with some colorful calaveras.

Chalkboard "Bugs"
Sometimes I like to draw some creepy crawlies. I'd rather see on my chalkboard than out in the real world, to be honest. Here are a cicada and a tarantula.

Dolls and Stuffed Animals
I like to sew, and have made dolls and stuffed animals on occasion, when inspiration strikes. Here are a Marie Antoinette Doll, and a Day of the Dead doll. All hand sewn, including the decorations and clothes.

Party Chalkboards
I like to use my chalkboard wall to add to the look of our parties and celebrations. Here for a Marie Antoinette Tea Party, and a picture for a Wizard of Oz themed birthday party.
