Pawprint on My Heart!

I completely forgot to post my newest painting last week!

I wanted to do a more "subtle-toned" painting for Valentine's Day with RED being a rich accent color. I think my tuxedo kitty with his pawprint/heart greeting card turned out very sweet!

"Pawprint on My Heart"

is up for auction on EBAY right now.  Go have a look-see!

Purrfect Valentine

Purrfect Valentine is up for grabs on Ebay!

Here is my latest (of only 2) Valentine paintings I've done this year. I'm going to take better pictures tomorrow when I have more daylight. It doesn't have the varnish on yet either so it's really a much brighter & prettier pink & purple than this pic shows.

I'm kind of in a rut. Just feeling very uninspired & unmotivated lately. I seem to have lots of ideas for different paintings & sewing projects but can't decide which I should do first & then end up doing none of them! I'm also feeling very amateurish about my Etsy Shop. Is there an "Idiot's Guide to Etsy Selling" at the bookstore??? I know my shop's only been open a few months & it takes a while to get noticed amongst the thousands of shops on there ~ I just wish I knew some tricks to getting more exposure. How do some shops receive 800 views just a few hours after an item is listed??? I know you can "showcase" an item which I've done a few times & that seems to generate more views but once that day is over it dies down.

Oh well, I guess I need to give it time. Any advice would be appreciated!

Pillow Heart Finished!

Voila! Got my little heart pillow finished quicker than I thought. I think it turned out really sweet. Already got it in the SHOP too. Now I'm ready to do something PINK for Valentine's Day! I'm thinking pillow cover.

Oh, & by the way ~ any of you out there have trouble with ribbon-happy cat thieves stealing your sewing supplies? I made a special trip to the store the other day to get blue ribbon, came right home & set the roll down next to my pillows I was working on. The next day when I was ready to work it was nowhere to be found. I looked everywhere! Zoolou, my ornery furball, has stolen my ric rac from my sewing box & drug it around the house several times so naturally I suspected her. Annoyed, I made another trip to the fabric store for more ribbon. Yesterday I heard something bouncing down the stairs & looked over to see my new roll of pink ric rac being batted & chased by Zoolou. She was having so much fun I just let her play with it! (she needed the exercise anyway) Maybe I should think about getting a lid for my sewing box.

For YOU Valentine!

Valentine Painting available on Ebay right HERE!

Here is my first Valentine painting for 2010! I hope to do 2 or 3 more in time for the big day. I'm also working on some cute new vintagy pillow ornaments for the shop that I hope to get listed in a day or 2. I found the sweetest fabric with vintage kitties on it! Also thinking about doing some pillow covers. SO many ideas. Only it seems like I spend more time planning my projects than actually creating them!

On that note, I'm gonna go cut me some fabric! TTFN! Happy weekending!
