ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

I completed the church commission in Iowa and the windows were installed! A dedication ceremony will be held next weekend. The photos will be uploaded as soon as my laptop heals from it's "black eye!" 
I head out today to another new client in New Glarus, Wisconsin. She has chosen a hexagon pattern containing oak leaves to adorn her front porch! I'm looking forward to this commission. It is smaller (26 inches) so it will give me some much needed instant gratification. I enjoy the large commissions but now and again it is nice to do a piece and be done in a week or so. LIFT UP YOUR ART! With gratitude, Laurie

AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT...

oooohhh....aaahhhhh......I can hear you!
One of my favorite sites to visit on a regular basis is http://pinkpigwestport.com/
The Pink Pig held a Christmas Tree photo contest recently and I submitted a few pictures and crossed my fingers. As luck would have it I won! And boy-oh-boy did I win! I was awarded a $100.00 gift certificate! I surfed to the Pink Pig site so fast it would make your head spin. I chose the enchanting painted sign shown above. It is perfect for The Olde Farmhouse and is hanging proudly in my dining room. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Pink Pig! The well-balanced mix of antiques, furniture, signs, candles, and all sorts of home decor items makes it a fun site to visit regularly. It's wonderful eye candy and some high quality pieces! Go visit the Pink Pig! I'm certain you will find something you simply can't live without. The blog is also filled with wonderful writing, photos and more! http://www.pinkpigwestport.com/
