*PHEW!*

The elves have finally packed up their messes and have headed back to the North Pole. The winter snow scene mugs were a big hit, so they’ll probably make more in the late fall – in time for 2026 holiday gift-giving!

 

 

There’s still time!

To all of my local peeps, there’s still time to pick up some last minute gifts at CC Lowell on Pleasant Street in Worcester! I’m proud to have a display of some of my creations there again this year. But they also have a huge inventory of art supplies–some are packaged in beautiful gift sets–kids’ stuff, cards, and gift items created by other local artists. Shop small and support your local businesses – it really does make a difference!

Pocket friends

In these uncertain times, we could all use a little extra help, am I right? You can have your very own emotional support shrimp to calm your frazzled nerves! They’re available at C.C. Lowell in Worcester, or email me directly. Guaranteed to make you smile!

It’ll be here before you know it!

2026 is just around the corner – be ready for it with your 2026 Little House mini calendar! This year, the theme highlights rabbits, illustrated by yours truly. They make great gifts, especially at the special rate of buy 3 get one FREE –  that’s 4 gifts for $30* – through the end of October. PM me if interested. They will also be available soon at The Kitchen Garden in Templeton and CC Lowell in Worcester.

*Flat rate shipping for 4 – $5

New paints!

Brand new Nova paints have been sitting untouched on a shelf in the studio until about three weeks ago. Why did I wait so long to break into them?! Vibrant opaque and translucent colors are such a treat to work with! More to come soon! 

Branching out

Trying new creative projects makes me happy. Now that I have (somewhat) figured out the technical* parts of this one, I’m really happy! Making soy candles is challenging, but it’s also a lot of fun, and the fragrances are wonderful. I’m experimenting with scents like coffee, sage & lemongrass, hickory & suede and dark chocolate, to name a few. These and more will soon be available at C.C. Lowell in Worcester.

*Scent throw? Flashpoint? Burn rate? YIKES! I still have a lot to learn, but I’m getting there.

 

 

Hassle-free chickens!

Keeping chickens is a lot of work and can be quite expensive. Sure, the free eggs are great, but is it really worth it? Now you can have chickens without the hassle! Just stop by C.C. Lowell in Worcester, and pick out your own trouble-free chickens, created in Little House Art Studio!

Holiday wreaths!

Well, the elves made quite a mess in the studio, but the final results are pretty neat! Shipping out to family and friends tomorrow!

Jellyfish invasion!

My buddy Max helped to create some FANCY jellies to decorate the studio! They’ll brighten up the cooler, shorter days ahead, and will remind us of summer walks along the beach as we hunker down for another New England winter.

Guess what time it is?

It’s Little House mini calendar time! 2025 calendars are finished and ready to sell. This theme is already popular – someone at the print shop has given it two thumbs up!
