What'd She Say?

I Hope to Say More

2008-09-23T10:12:00.000-05:00

It's been awhile since I posted. I'm hoping to change that. I'm not even sure if anyone reads this, but I'm going to pretend they do, lol!

I started making these really cute make up bags. They could also be used as a small clutch when you just need to take a few things with you. I have several different choices.

Time for an Update

2008-04-12T12:05:00.000-05:00

So, I was talking to my mother-in-law this morning, and she said I needed to update my blog.

I've been so busy with sewing and our cats having kittens (14 so far!!!). I really love sewing. I've been making purses, wallets, checkbook covers, etc. I've even started my first quilt. I've always loved funky stuff and I can never find anything in the fabrics that I like, so I decided to make my own.

Spring is finally here. I love when the weather turns nice. Sun, trees blooming, flowers and just nice all around.

Here is a picture of 2 of our cats and their babies. Another one had her babies last night and 1 more is still pregnant. It's totally crazy!

I hope everyone enjoys their April!

Handmade Purses

2008-01-13T15:26:00.000-06:00

I've added some really cute purses to my website. Please be sure to check out my new category in my Girly Boutique: Pillows & Purses.

I hope everyone had a great holiday. I know I did.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2007-11-21T05:59:00.000-06:00

Wow! Thanksgiving sure can early this year! Only a month to go before Christmas. I can't believe it. Time flies the older you get!

I've had so much happen this month. One of our cats is seriously ill right now. I'm hoping he'll pull through. He had a blocked urinary tract, which I'm hearing is pretty common for cats. He's still having a lot of trouble and hopefully, he won't have to go back to the hospital. He's lost some weight and not eating. But, I have faith that he'll get better.

I've been working my butt off making some really cute Christmas ornaments. They are going fast, so there aren't many left. I also have a couple paintings that are available.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and get to spend it with your family and friends.

Road Trip

2007-10-14T16:54:00.001-05:00

Well, my mom and I are off on a road trip tomorrow morning. I'm excited for a couple of reasons:

1. I live in the boonies and to go somewhere where there is good shopping (i.e. not Wal-Mart) I have to travel about 1 1/2 hours away.
2. I love when I can get away with just my mom.
3. I'm hoping to get some new ideas and inspiration.

We've actually planned our trip around restaurants! I want Benihana's and she wants Carabba's. So, we are planning on going to Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and back up to Kentucky. About 4 or 5 days of shopping.

Needless to say, I won't be near email or my website until I get back home. I will answer all emails and stuff when I return.

So, wish me luck on finding some great deals!

Yes Ladies, You Know You Want One!

2007-09-29T16:15:00.000-05:00

Who doesn't need a tampon case for your purse? I hate when you go to use one, and there it is... on the bottom.... all old... dirty... unwrapped... You get the idea.

Who wants to open their purse to pay for something and have your tampons showing for that teenage boy at the grocery store taking your money? No one! How handy are these little cuties!

Of course, my fabrics are funky! They are compact enough to fit in the smallest purse. And the best part... you have a cute case for your personal items that keep them all nice and neat for when you need them.

Check out all my funky designs here.

Here's a preview...

2007-09-23T11:15:00.001-05:00

Rag Quilts

2007-09-23T10:51:00.000-05:00

As well as painting, I also love to sew. My mom has been making rag quilts for some time now. Actually, she is a beautiful seamstress.

Well, of course I had to get in on the action too and make some rag quilts of my own. I've added two so far on my site. The first one is a zebra print with black, white and hot pink. I just love it!

The 2nd one I've added is a retro black cat with black and hot pink. I really love this one too. Cats are my thing.

So, if rag quilts are your thing, please be sure to check mine out! They are right here.

See ya,

Holiday and Butterfly Art

2007-09-05T11:33:00.000-05:00

It’s been awhile since my last post! I’ve been so busy with moving to another state, getting the kids in school, painting and doing my website.

I added a new category to my site. I now have “Holiday Art” with some really cute Halloween paintings. I will be adding Christmas, Easter and other holiday paintings throughout the year. I also recently added “Butterfly Art”. I love to paint butterflies! I think they’re so beautiful and fun to create.

I also recently changed the look of my website. I’m trying to make is easier to navigate. It took a while to get it all together, but I’ve finally completed all the changes.

I want to thank everyone for all their nice comments on my site and my artwork. It really means a lot to me!

Until next time,

Janeen

Back Up and Running

2007-07-03T13:49:00.000-05:00

Well, we have finally moved and got mostly all settled in. There’s still a ton of unpacking to do, but we have a lot done. I’m so happy to finally be here in KY and near my family. I’m also excited that I now have a room all to myself to do my painting! I don’t have to use the kitchen table anymore. Yay! I’m off to paint so…

… have a great day!

Custom and Special Orders

2007-06-16T12:10:00.000-05:00

Sometimes people come across my paintings and want them in different colors than the ones I already have. I can definitely paint any item on my site in the colors that you want. Please check out my gallery for paintings that I have painted in the past. If you see something you like there, I can paint one up for you.

Also, if you like my style of painting, but don’t see what you want exactly, just let me know and we can come up with a design together. I’ve had customers take elements from different paintings and come up with a whole new concept. I enjoy doing custom orders, so please don’t hesitate to ask!

Have a great Saturday!

Tons of New Girly Paintings Added

2007-06-16T11:56:00.000-05:00

I have added a lot of new “girly” paintings to my site. They are really cute and are great for a bathroom or dressing area. If you’re a girl with a big closet/changing room, these are perfect! They would also look so pretty near your dressing table. Check them out here.

Enjoy!

Summer is Almost Here!

2007-06-14T12:35:00.000-05:00

I love the weather in the spring.
We are moving to Kentucky next week. I’m going to miss Michigan so much! We’re moving to be closer to my parents and are going to live on Lake Cumberland. It’s so beautiful there! My 3 teens aren’t as excited as my husband and I are. It will be a big culture change for them, but I’m sure they’ll adjust. Wish me luck on our move!

Have a great spring!

Happy Memorial Day!

2007-05-27T13:57:00.000-05:00

I always think that Memorial Day is somewhat overlooked for it’s true meaning. My grandpa was in WWII. He was actually at Normandy on D-Day. Before he died, I would always ask him about his experience in the Navy. Many years ago, he was able to tell me a few stories. I’m so proud that he was there and helped fight in the war.

Let’s take a minute to think of the real meaning of today. Let’s pray for our troops! Let’s hope that they all come home safe!

Have a great day today, hopefully spending it with family and friends and eating some good bbq! We are getting ready to start the grill up soon.
