New Whimsie just birthed last night!! Martha!

Martha is a local artist who loves to play with fabric. She lives outside the box and so does her beautiful art.

Birthing Whimsies

For the past 3 or 4 years I've been making a collection of dolls I call Lynnsies Whimsies. I've been playing with faces, designs, hair, clothing, paints and clays and they continue to change slightly every time I birth a new Whimsie. Here is the newest. Her name is Ruby and she is a nanny in charge of twin girls 5 years old. Their parents travel for work and take Ruby and the girls with them on all their trips. Definitely her dream job!!

All my Whimsies have names and stories to go with them.

I am making a new Whimsie caricature of a friend who is trading her art with me for her doll. What a great deal. She will be in the blog as soon as she is "birthed" They are for sale, trade, barter, auction and gifts. I have an open house usually in the fall, so if you're close by, drop in.

Organizing!!!

Acrylic's done during college

A customer asked me to draw a picture of a Sasqwatch eating chocolate drops. He was selling them and calling them Sasqwatch drops. I thought he was kind of cute.

Susan and I were emailing one time and I accidentally signed my name "Crappin Sis" instead of Scrappin Sis. It stuck and I did a cartoon of us from a photo we had taken of us in front of a carnival mirror.

Series of Leeah watching TV

I've been taking care of Leeah a lot more than I have for awhile. I just love to have her here. She's better than a full feature film. I love to watch her grow. I think I've taken thousands of pictures of her already and she's only 19 months.

Here are a few of the "punkin girl". She is watching a few of her favorite "Sprout TV programs" Kipper, The Upside Down show and Clifford the Big Red Dog. Her mom knows all the songs, and I'm beginning to hum them around the house. Hmmmm!

I've spent the past 3 weeks organizing my photographs from a lifetime! And, I spent the past 6 weeks organizing my artwork (as much as I could get on my scanner or take decent shots of with my digital. I'm putting them on CD's so I can pass them around to family. I forgot I did so much. Kind of overwhelming. It's so strange.....it makes me want to be more creative. My ideas are flowing. Here are a few of the oldies but goodies from yesteryear.

Another little artist in our family

Leeah's first drawings. I wonder what she's trying to say

Workin my fingers to the bone!!

I've spent the last week and a half on the computer downloading my art to put on CD'S. What a job. My legs don't work anymore from sitting too much. Thank goodness for Leeah. She makes me chase her all over the place. I do get my exercise. Here are some art "blasts from the past" and some new ones of Leeah and Annie and Jade etc. 1st pic is Leeah in a box. #2 our family at Easter. #3 Auntie Jadders feeding. #4 Mama Annie feeding Leeah. #5 Uncle Brett holding Leeah #6 Leeah in a box again.

Atc Trade Saturday

Atc trade tomorrow! Here is one I did awhile ago, but never used.

I am still here, really I am

Hi everyone, I didn't realize it's been so long since I've posted anything. I've had quite a year. My great granddaughter Leeah is growing like a little weed. I watch her on Mondays and Thursdays. I had to have my hip replaced in Jan. so I wasn't able to pick her up for quite awhile. It broke my heart not to see her. Sooooo I exercised and did what the Docs told me to and I feel great. I wish I'd done it years ago. I am also teaching again and running around like I had good sense. Lovin life for sure!!! Here's the little "Punkin Girl"
