3x3 mini notecards

0 comments



This is something I've been working on, 3x3 notecards of a little girl I call Chloe. Chloe is a little shopper and she's all geared up for the holiday season. I will be drawing Chloe in various outfits carrying a handful of shopping bags preparing for the Christmas season. The notecards can be used as gift tags on your holiday presents, or used as little holiday cards given to co-worker with your holiday treats. These cards were created using 110 lb cardstock paper and hand drawn using prismacolor pencils and markers, my favorite.

Been away

1 comments
Hello guys I've not posted in a while. My father had been in the hospital and my first cousin's son passed. His name was Blake Hill and he was just seven years old, he died from a very rare disease. He was diagnosed with the disease when her was not even a year old and the doctors said he would not live six months.

He lived to be seven which was a blessing. His parents and older sister and brother took him home and loved him untill his passing. They had to take care of him around the clock. The homegoing service was beautiful. One of his doctors spoke of the care that the parent had given little Blake at the service. He said he was humble at the dedication and love of the parents.

Back From Vacation!

Just wanted to let you guys know that I had wonderful little vacation in Xenio, Ohio. We had our Family reunion and my aunt and uncle celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, which was beautiful. For the family reunion we had Meet and Greet friday morning at the hotel. After the meet and greet, we went to a local park where we enjoyed good food and continued to socialize.

Saturday was devoted to relaxing and spending time at the local malls for a bit of shopping and site seeing. Saturday evening there was a banquet at a local restaurant where the food was delicious. Sunday evening my aunt and uncle celebrated their 50th anniversary.

Shops I Adore: The Handmaiden's Cottage

0 comments



I'm excited to introduce Lynn Jeffries the creator behind The Handmaiden's Cottage. The Handmaiden's Cottage is a shop that I personally have shopped and have fell in love with the beautiful creations I' ve purchased for myself and my daughter. If your looking for something unique and beautiful visit The Handmaiden's Cottage.

-Tell us a little about yourself? I'm Lynn and I love living the creative life! I am inspired by our little cottage that sits on over two acres only a stone's throw away from the City limits of our small community. I grew up in the country near my Grandparent's dairy farm only five miles away from where I live now. I have managed to travel a little in between!I have a liberal arts degree from a Jesuit University and my career was in finance. I am so lucky to have found my true passion now. I've been doing all types of needlework since I was a child and feel like I've finally "come home."I am a volunteer Master Gardener (well the "Master" part is quite a stretch) through the Ohio State University Extension Office in our area and gardening is also one of my great loves, especially flower gardening. My mother (whom I dearly miss) had a very, very green thumb! More stuff: I am the mother of twins and the grandmother of three precious children: Brianna (6), Alivia (2) and Noah, 7 months. I share my life and home with a wonderful man, Brad, an Architect, who is so creative in his right and so very supportive in my work.



_Tell us about your shop: when did you open? What type of item do you sell? I joined Etsy in May of 2008, but didn’t start selling until the end of September. When I say in my shop profile, “that you never know what will be in my shop next”, I sincerely mean it. I love the design process, so I’m constantly thinking of new things I’d like to do and trying them out. The main items I sell are aprons and little girls’ dresses. I also make quilts and sell fabric.


_Do you remember the first item you made and sold?I absolutely remember the first item I sold. It was a little girl’s pinafore and I sold it to another Etsy seller, Shannon, from GoldilocksBarrettes and I must say, that she was so nice and so encouraging that it really gave me the confidence to keep going. I’ll never forget her.


_How did you come up with your shop name? Well, the “Cottage” part is easy to explain…that’s the style of our home. There’s a little more to the “Handmaiden” part. I guess the simplest way of putting it is that it’s a dedication to Mary, the ultimate “Mother” in my eyes and to remind me everyday that I am in service to God and others through my work. I believe that God, working through the Universe, is the source of my creativity.


_Why did you decide to become an Etsy seller? I love selling on Etsy because it is one place where your creative efforts are so appreciated. So many creative people making so many beautiful and inventive things…I feel like I am in such great company. Etsy is more than just a place to sell things, it’s a place to meet people and make friends, too.
