Paint Brushes on my Window Sill

(photo from etsy, buy these beautiful brushes here)

You will know that my creativity is flowing when you find paintbrushes lining my window sill,

they've found a permanent home there,

between painting,
between creating,
after washing,


Never pressing or rushing or begging for use. Sitting quietly instead, they lie in wait.

Rendered mute until placed in the right hands.
Then as they dance in a pallet of colors a song is created,
one that is seen rather than heard,
a song of joy or of sorrow,
expressing happiness or pain.

I am nothing without these tiny tools of expression...



In your house this could be considered clutter,
something unsavory to the eye,
but when I see them I sigh.
A sigh of contentment,
of completion...


Let my home never be without paintbrushes on the window sill.

Round it up!

Alright! Whew what a BUSY week!

First of all excuse the poor pictures I was eXhAuStEd when it was time to photograph, butttt, I am done with this amazing birthday order! This has been the most fun project to work on! A little green guy party! Say wuhhh????

This included: party hats, invitations, 3 LGG plush, 3 Charlie plush, a 20x30 banner, a cake topper, 6 mini sculpts, 6 "make your own monster" homemade doh kits, a Pin the eye on the Little Green Guy game, I may be forgetting something.... But basically a big party full of AWESOME I can't wait to see pictures! And did I mention this party is in Germany? Woah!

This little Graduation Charlie was made to help a very special little girl celebrate her Kindergarten graduation!

I finished this massive army of LGG sculpts! One is a travel buddy that will be headed to a new home!

And a Travel Buddy (miss Dorothy Green) Made it to Kansas!

Oh and Saturday I made this painting for my hubby for fathers day!

Where was Little Green Guy himself during all of this? Well slacking off of course... eating my food... playing with doh... the usual.. It's okay I still love him

How was YOUR week? Do/make anything exciting? Do tell!!!

Happy FATHERS DAY

I debated writing this post as it is not Little Green Guy related, but then I thought for a bit. It really is! Man Panda (or Michael if you don't follow my quirky nick names) is my husband of 6 years and father to my two beautiful peanuts (again with the nicknames I know)! As well as "father" to our 6 animals...

But he is one of the main reasons LGG is up and running! Anytime I doubt myself he pushes me, he truly believes in me. Which means the world! When I have a new idea he will give me his honest opinion (even if it's not what I want to hear). And most importantly he puts up with me rambling about little green monsters night and day, and still loves me non the less.

So here's to you Man Panda, and all of the true fathers out there that take time out of their days to let their children know how important they are, how loved they are. Who work hard all day (or night... or both) at their jobs but still master enough energy to play horsey. We love you, and appreciate all that you do.

(His fathers day Present I painted, I hope he likes it!)

I didn't have a present father so I love seeing his relationship with the kids unfold, it is really a beautiful thing!

Whats your favorite memory with your father?

Creative Tuesdays - Alphabet Sketch!

Alright this is the first time I've done anything like this! But I found an art link up over at Creative Tuesdays and decided I would join in! My watercolors take far to much of a back seat when I get busy with my plush sewing and sculptures!

G for Giraffe! Another in my Little Green Guy Alphabet Series!



I've planned this one for a while now and was excited to finally sit down and do it!


Love his confused "hey where did she go" expression.




And here it is all set to print!

Round it Up!

Alright! So I did this a while back then fell out of it but Lu&Ed inspired me by keeping up with hers! (Head here to see her week in review)

I started off the week sewing a hoard of monsters late Monday and Tuesday evening!

See that FABULOUS guy in the middle! His name is Bartholomew and he is a Scruff! (thanks to my Brother in Law for the fabulous name) I am not sure when I will be making more of him as he was a bit labor intensive but I LOVE HIM, and he has a fabulous home with my artist friend!

Three of those Charlies are headed to Germany as well!

I also made this into a print this week, I just love how it came out!

And one of these prints is heading to a new home this week as well!

Then onto a watercolor that I finished, it will be available as a print soon!


And lastly we have a sculpting fest that happened Saturday at the store! I got about 5 monsters done! Here's a little video for ya!

Travel Buddies!... FINALLY

You know when you are out, wandering around, shopping, exploring, eating out, and you think to yourself,

'Man, I really wish I had a little green monster to share this with!'

I know I do! Well guess what? They are available! Woo to the Hoo!

And this is for YOU, doesn't have to be for the kiddos, I am grown and get a kick out of it ;)

I've taken my polymer clay sculpted LGG with me everywhere, he lives in a case in my purse, last year we traveled to the UP and got some amazing shots,


Tahquamenon falls

Mackinac Island

Recently I thought of how much fun I really do have taking LGG with me everywhere, not just on vacations, but every day places! Why should I have all of this fun to myself? With that I've started the LGG travel packs! You can find them here.
The first travel buddy is in ALASKA! I just can't get over how cool this is???

Valdez Alaska

Two more will be touring Germany, and there is one on its way to Kansas! (should I send some ruby slippers?)

Post pictures of your travels to my facebook page! And once a month a random winner will be chosen to receive a little goody bag of LGG awesome-ness!!!!
