Summer Time Sunny Ideas!

Hello Friends, so sorry it has taken a couple months to post. I have been working on getting certified in medical coding and that is taking a bunch of my time because I have a goal to be done by the end of this year.  In other words, I want to be certified!  I already have a medical background but I want to branch out into something that will allow me (after I have worked some in house) to be able to work from home.  

Enjoy these finds:


You are my sunshine... - Custom Nursery Painting



 About } This listing is for one painting that says, "You are my sunshine my only sunshine." The painting can be done in your choice of color. The painting is sprayed with a sealer. The sides are painted so the painting doesn't have to be framed. Please remember that this is hand-painted, not a print. There might be some slight changes in spacing and such for each custom painting I do. Also, as true with any online purchase, the color may vary slightly. 

The canvas is stretched over a light weight wooden frame. You can easily hang this painting on pushpins or even sticky hanging tabs. This is a lovely painting that would be great in your little one's nursery or room, or even in a teen's room, dorm room, etc. This painting is made to order. I will begin working once payment is received. Please allow up to 10 days (often done in less) of production time + extra shipping time. 

{ Size } This painting is done on a 16x20 inch canvas. If you'd like I different size, send me a convo and we can discuss options. 

{ Colors } It is shown in the color "Lemon Yellow", but it can be done in any color to match your own room decor. Send me a convo and we can discuss color options. The lettering is white and outlined in orange.

Original Oil Painting "Sunlight Cross" on 18x24 stretched canvas


Title: "Sunlight Cross"
Size: 18x24
Medium: Oil painting on stretched canvas

This painting was inspired by a photo that my mother-in-law took while she was out on a walk. She captured the sun shining behind the clouds as it rose for the morning. It is at times like these that I have always felt closer to the Lord and felt that a cross in the foreground would make a nice statement with Easter right around the corner. A beautiful frame would add that final touch to make this the perfect gift for the faithful servant this Easter. 

INTARSIA CROSS WITH DOVE WALL HANGING


This is a CROSS WITH DOVE wall hanging. We can make this with different woods if you have a favorite and we can personalize it and make a heart in the middle with your last name. We can also put a backing on it or leave it without one (last picture). Perfect for any nursery!!! The colors and textures are all from the wood itself, which is what makes Intarsia so interesting. It is kind of like working a puzzle--except you get to make your own pieces. All woods used are listed on the back of the piece. Each piece of wood is hand selected, cut, sanded and glued together for a lasting unique art piece.

All of our woods are reclaimed. It is ready to hang.



Red & Purple Cross


This cross measures 6" x 4"(15.24cm x 10.16cm) It has an translucent Deep Red for the center cross. The outer accent is a translucent Rosy Purple. A black patina has been added. 

The Tiffany method was used on this piece, meaning it was foiled and hand leaded by me. A small metal ring is attached on the back allowing you to hang this item on a nail or use the enclosed monofilament wire (like fishing line) to hang it at the length you desire.

Spring Has Sprung!


Butterflies Spring Printable pdf Banner Bunting Coloring Pages Set of Four


You will receive a pdf of my original butterfly drawings to print and color anyway you like. There are four different designs. These are made to be printed on standard 8.5 X 11 inches (21 X 27 cm) size paper. They make fun coloring pages or use them to create a banner as I did. 

I have added small tabs at the top of each butterfly to be used if you wish to make a banner or bunting as I did in photo 1. I printed mine on card stock, colored with crayons, and cut out. Next I folded the tabs to the back, secured with tape to create a loop to run the ribbon through for a banner. If you don't like the tabs, cut them off and use the butterflies as a wall or door decoration. 
When I receive your payment, I will email you the pdf file with the four butterflies. You may print as many copies as you like.  This is designed by Laurel Susan Studio for your personal use.

Needle Felted Sheep, Momma Ewe and Baby Sheep, Spring and Easter, Made to Order


Photos from previous orders--Your sheep will vary slightly from the photos.

Mamma Ewe and baby like to explore the pasture together. Mamma loves to show baby new things. They are happy to be outside and enjoying the day, but oftentimes they just end up following each other around.

This listing is for purchasing a made-to-order pair of sheep. The photo is a stock photo, so your sheep may look slightly different. Your sheep will be made with a combination of wools, and will come with a care tag so that you will be able to enjoy them for years to come. Mamma Ewe will measure approximately 2 1/2" tall and approximately 4" long (nose to tail), and baby will measure around 1 1/2" tall and about 3" long. Momma Ewe has a silver bell tied around her neck with green and white ribbon, and baby has a ribbon tied around her middle. I also have a red and white ribbon, and it can be substituted for no extra charge--just specify color when ordering. If no spec is given, green is the default color. They come from a smoke-free and pet-free home. Please allow approximately 3 days for completion, depending on work load. I will be able to give you a more precise lead time when you place your order.

Each one of my critters is made with love and wool at the time of ordering. Because of this, no two are exactly alike. Please note, though, that due to the construction of these animals, they really shouldn't be used as toys, and they may contain small parts.

12"x16" canvas painting features beautiful flowers against a cool blue background.
Happy Spring arrangement!

Crochet Pattern -- A Good Egg

Crochet one egg or one dozen from my quick and easy pattern! Use them to decorate for Easter or add them to your child's toy food pantry.

This pattern calls for a small amount of worsted yarn -- I used commercially available cotton yarn, as it has a bit of stiffness to it that helps them keep their shape, but you can really use any worsted yarn. You will also need an H/8 (5.00mm) hook and some cotton or other material for stuffing. The finished size following the pattern's gauge will be 3" tall and 6" around at widest part.

This is an easy pattern, perfect for beginners. It contains no abbreviations, and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about it. This pattern uses only single crochet and slip stitches.

This pattern is a pdf file and will be emailed to the address of your choice.
