Wedding gift

As I just mentioned in my last post, my daughter got married July 2 and she loves all things nautical. So, I designed a plaque for her and her new husband with that in mind. (I hope he likes nautical stuff, too!) I used the New Haven lighthouse as the inspiration for the theme of the plaque. By the way, the semaphore flags spell "Eternity".

Wedding ornaments

My baby girl got married in July! In creating ornaments for the trees, I thought dream, love and eternity were perfect themes for a wedding, and they added such a fun touch to the many beautiful trees in the beautiful yard.

Doggies

Don't you love this quote?

I've been wanting to design a plaque using this quote for awhile, and after reading Pioneer Woman and about the antics of her dog, Charlie, I knew I wanted to design a plaque with his picture on it. I hope she likes it. Do you have a pooch you'd like honored on a plaque like this?

New Baby Plaque

I was invited to a shower for two very dear friends who are having a baby, and I was very excited to create a plaque for them. I found out their nursery palette and using a patchwork theme, designed this plaque for them. I really like the freshness of it.

Wear the old coat and buy the new book.

Our family has always read lots of books -- together, apart, whatever. For the final piece (the combined bookcase and desk) to be designed in my daughter's bedroom, I chose a book theme. The sides of the bookcase itself are filled with quotes about books and the sides of the desk are filled with book titles and authors. These are all favorites of my family. I asked them all what titles and authors they would most like to have burned into the piece, and that's what I did. Now, it really belongs to all of us.
