WOYWW........making some party stuff for a client....





I am so excited to share some work I just finished up for a client's daughter....It is going to be her third Birthday soon and she has commissioned me to create some fun cupcake and cake toppers and goodie bag stickers....Her daughter loves Tinkerbell and her whole party theme is around Tinkerbell.....so she did a special photo shoot of her daughter in her cute costume and I created these cupcake toppers, big cake topper and some special goodie bag stickers for her big party....

I have been working on stuff for every single one of her parties...how super sweet is that.....

Thought I would share these since I am thrilled with the way they turned out.

I love custom work for Children's Parties.....

Have a super sweet day...

Happy Wednesday and Happy Creating....I am sharing these with all of my sweet friends over at What's on  Your Workspace Wednesday.....

Made some Chinese BBQ Pork buns....my favorite!






Hi Everyone....

I have been making a lot of dough lately as I love the fact that I can make it quickly and as it rises I can work away....I used to get some pretty tasty Chinese BBQ Pork buns in the cutest bakery in Toronto....but now that I am locked up working away in my Studio most of the week....I had to find a way to make my own....so here is a recipe I put together with some research and modifications.....these were so good that I will be adding these to my weekly baking......They make a perfect lunch....and a nice snack and I even serve them up with carrot soup and a salad for a feast.....I know you will love these.....



I also add sesame seeds to the top of mine for some added flavor and they make them look so pretty.....but you don't have too....

I am swamped all week....but baking is a nice little break here and there.....

Happy Monday and Happy Creating Everyone.....



Sunday Sketch....Wishing all the Moms out there a Happy Mother's Day....





Hi Everyone....

I am wishing you and your Moms a Happy Mother's Day.....

I remember the day I found out I was expecting our first baby..... I was over the moon with Happiness and Joy....it was as though everything else didn't matter anymore....Instantly my heart started growing bigger each day before we even met...then you were born and came into our lives and the joy that you brought filled my heart and still fills my heart each and every day....I finally knew my calling in life.....to be a Mom.....and it is the most important role I have ever took on.....Sure I am not perfect....I make mistakes ....but you love me none the less.....

I am so grateful each and every day to be called Mommy.....to be looked up at .....to be loved so whole heartedly.....it is truly a gift each and every day....I love everything we do together....from our little traditions to our special art days....I will love you always and keep you in my heart where you belong.....there is nothing more special than the love of a Mommy......and the love of a Child.....

I love you my sweet son Cole....you have filled my heart ......

Now off to draw and paint with my sweet little man who keeps saying...."Mommy, everyday is Mother's Day"

Sharing my bird illustration titled ...."Nothing Sweeter than the love of a Mother"

and some photos of our baby birds....who are all grown up now and their parents are making a new nest in my wall planter

Happy Sunday and Happy Creating Everyone....

Paint Party Friday.....a nod to Retro fashion


Hi Everyone....I am in shock that it is Friday already....the week sure flew by....but I guess I say that every week...I have been working on a few fashion watercolours that I have used in some of my jewelry photo shoots....I will be working on a whole new series of these pretties and will showcase them here....

I also thought I would show you how I used these paintings in my earring line photos...








I am having way too much fun creating and love being super busy with projects and always take some time late in the evening to work on some stuff without a deadline....keeps the creative juices flowing....

I am sharing my new ladies with all of my super talented friends over at Paint Party Friday....hope to see you there too....

Happy Friday and Happy Creating....
