Passionate about animals and living life, I'm more than happy to share knowledge and my loves with anyone that'll listen or read. I'm a writer, editor, business owner, mother, wife, daughter, obsessed with working out and running, training dogs in agility and horses to behave. I work three full-time jobs: marketing for the Indiana Horse Racing Commission, freelance writer, and mom, and I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.
I understand how hard it can be to find just the right gift for that hard to shop for person, and wanting something unique. What’s even more, I know budgets are tight! So, I’m doing everyone a favor with a Pre-Christmas Clearance! I’m marking down some of my old inventory to make room for some new creations, and to make sure you’re able to share with your friends.
Check my Facebook page often for fresh deals, and I’ve got them all lined up on my website. You can send me an email with a request for the item you’d like, and I’ll get an estimate on shipping.
Don’t see something you like? Don’t forget, I can do custom pieces as well!
Lately, I’ve gotten a few custom orders honoring favorite pets. I love doing these projects, especially when they are given as gifts, because I feel like I’m helping to honor their memory and their love.
The first is a happy Airedale. As you can see, I worked off of a photo that the owner sent me. I always ask clients to send me photos of what they’d like me to mimic. While the photo was a little different than I’m use to, I liked how the greenery jumped off the purple (also her choice).
The next is a sweet kitten that will be framed and given as a gift. For some reason, cats are a little more difficult for me, but this one turned out pretty well.
Finally, another gift for Mother’s Day. I was able to be a little more creative with this one, working off a photo of a horse walking (which proves difficult, but not impossible). I’m still doing the finishing touches to this, but the gift giver is quite excited to present this soon.
The proud Appaloosa War Pony stands defiantly in the sun, looking over the hilltop. He is a hand needle-felted pony with natural fibers, standing out on the tan, red and cream plaid wool backing. Framed with a natural, repurposed wooden frame with no glass. It’s gallery hung and ready for your walls.
This week, I’m craving something warm and delicious, like this genuinely unique hand knitted shawl with a special touch.
Featured Shawl: Blackberry Sorbet
A soft, muted mix of acrylic, wool and eyelash yarns. This knitted shawl looks like crushed blackberries poured over ice cream! Dark amethyst, pale lavender, lavender and white. There are pops of lace and eyelash yarns. This shawl is slightly shorter. So warm! Hand wash and lay flat to dry. Original pattern. A special touch is added to the front: glass beads to accent the color combination.

A few months ago, I was approached with the opportunity to be part of the Arts & Culture Issue for Western Horse & Gun Magazine. My daughter writes for the publication, which focuses on the Western lifestyle, mounted shooting and Western culture. I was nervous, but agreed, and the August/September issue is now on newsstands!
You can find Western Horse & Gun Magazine at your local Tractor Supply Company and Wal-Mart newsstands, among other locations.
The idea of doing custom work didn’t really come to me until a few years into my craft. I enjoy doing images of dogs (all different breeds) and have done different settings for framed wall art and bags. But it wasn’t until I heard many potential customers comment: “I love this, but if only it was my dog…”
I practiced with my daughters’ dogs–a Bloodhound, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and a Spinoni Italiano. Then, when I’d hear someone comment about wishing they had one for their dog, I assured them I could do just that.
Doing custom work is a lot of fun–I allow you to choose the type of piece (pillow, wall art [framed or unframed], purse or other), you choose the color of wool for the background and then you let me know how you want the image–full body or portrait style.
The only thing I ask of you is that you send me a few clear, high-resolution images you’d like me to work with. I like to be able to see different angles of the head and face, and body if you want a full-body image. If you have an exact photo you want me to work off of, that’s even better–just make sure it’s easy for me to see the subject’s face.
I will send you photo updates to show you how the process is going, in case there are a few things you want adjusted.
The timeline for custom pieces varies from style to details. I ask for an initial down payment before I begin, with the rest of the payment due upon completion.
Custom pieces are the perfect gift for birthdays and holidays! So if you’re looking for a Christmas present, I suggest getting an early start so we have time to make changes.
Sound like something you’d love to have hanging on your wall? Contact me at the information below or send me a message on my Facebook page! I’d love to work with you!
A custom piece I actually did for myself recently, because I just love my boy, Smokey Joe!
This was a custom piece I did for an old family friend who was boarding her old buckskin Quarter Horse on our farm. Poco passed away and a month later I presented this to her owner. We loved Poco almost as much as she did.
