Predictions, a Win, and WIPs!

Good Monday morning greetings, dear blogging friends!

We're supposed to get some rain today in what has become the 'desert lands' of Florida! Crossing my fingers that it will 'play out' as our Weather Forecasters have predicted.

I received my WIN from Ann of 1803 Ohio Farm Baskets!

OMGosh, what a WONDERFUL little Tote Basket it is!! Her work is phenomenal and I do believe I'll have to go back and purchase a few for Christmas gifts and one in particular for myself! If you have a minute, go and visit Ann's Etsy shop! Fabulous finds!!

I'm still not doing a whole lot...at least not for my Etsy shop. Finishing up the last of Teacher Appreciation and cutting out some 'extras' for the 'World Fair' that's coming up in a few weeks. Each class picks a country to learn about and I have a few teachers who like wood cut-outs for their kids to paint.

I finished a few more pink cupcakes since the others were gone.

AND, last but not least, I've been trying to finish up a small oil painting.

I still have to add flowers to the foreground and some shading on the girl's face. I can then call it finished. I chose a frame for it. 

What do you think? It would look good framed in gold, too, but this one was more 'aged' and I seem to like it better. Do you?

I'm also working on some Americana and Summer items for the OFG Team's upcoming Celebration. I'll tell you more about it in a few. 

Until then........

Stay tuned!!
