My favorite time of the year

Yippee! I love Autumn!
So much to do and so little sleep :P My little man, Sam, woke me up at 5 a.m. this morning (probably because he is teething, poor thing) on my birthday of all days so I am a little sleep deprived as of late. I apologize if I babble or spell incorrectly. But I can't be too mad at him - he's too cute! And he ate all of his peas. Just like his daddy.

Anyway...my shop is closed at the moment as I am "on vacation" which means that I am doing my annual entry into the "Bogeyman Art Show" at The Mac Spa. Jess has some paintings entered this year too! Check them out if you get a chance. I also have some dolls as Dazzle. Fun!!
I am currently working on more pumpkin heads and have entered one into the "Faces of the Great Pumpkin Art Contest." People can start voting on October 16th, so make sure you vote for me or my husband, Jesse! We would appreciate it!
Speaking of Jesse, he has started decorating our yard already. I'll have to post sneak peeks as he gets out more. This year's theme is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Don't forget to go check out The Asylum, especially every Friday, so Jess can scare the bejesus out of you!
Well, off to work on Halloween costumes! I will update when I get another chance.
Happy Haunting!

Halloween/Star Wars Wedding and a Baby

Sorry, I've been super busy (and super tired) lately and haven't gotten much done. But here's a small update.
In March, I was honored to be a bridesmaid in my friends' (Dustin and Deyanna) wedding. It was the coolest EVER.

The bride loves Halloween so all of us girls got to dress in a Halloween costume (I am the pregnant witch). The groom is a huge fan of Star Wars, so all the groomsmen wore storm trooper helmets, the father of the bride wore a Darth Vader helmet and the groom wore a Boba Fett helmet.
And...

there were zombies! Yes, my husband and his friend Rebecca were their wedding zombies ;)
I love you guys, Dustin and Deyanna!
My son, Sam, was born on his due date, April 22nd. Earth Day!
Being a mother is the craziest thing I've ever experienced and I am absolutely in love with my little man.

 Mommy loves you so much, pumpkin!

My Zombies Have Been Published!!

Yay!! Check out what I got!

Did you get a Stuffed Magazine yet? If so, did you see what's inside?

Hooray! My zombies have been published!

I feel so honored! And the best part is, Summerset Studios (the publisher) has encouraged me to submit more of my work. I just might have to do that ;)
I have a show coming up in February for Mardi Gras. It will be at Dazzle Lounge and Restaurant and I will have my voodoo dolls there.

Aren't they cute? I might just have to keep the guy on the right as a pin cushion ;)

I am currently working on a bunch of different projects right now, but don't really have anything I can share at the moment. Most of them are presents so I can't give the surprise away.
One I can talk about is a custom order. It's a hamburger pillow. It should be pretty awesome once it's finished.
I am also working on blankets and clothes for my unborn son when I get a chance. I only have one blanket started, so I am pretty behind. Hopefully he'll forgive me ;)
Speaking of getting ready for the baby, my husband and I are working on getting the nursery ready and want to take all the carpet out of our house and put in hardwood flooring (or fake hardwood) because our cat Jack has peeing problems and likes to pee on the carpet. My husband Jess decided to rip up the carpet in the nursery, and low and behold, we have hardwood floor underneath! It's not in great shape, but at least we can try to refinish it.
Sweet :)
Anyway, making people is exhausting and I think I need a nap. Hopefully I'll have more to share soon!
