Woodland Highchair

I found this highchair in the trash. A little primer, a lot of handpainted gingham and a cute woodland critter scene and voila.

(if I had it to do over, I'd make the scene facing in, toward the baby)

Fairy Desk

I bought this cute, unfinished desk for a dollar at a yard sale. It was scribbled on in marker, but was nothing a coat of paint and some fairies couldn't fix. I sold it at a craft fair.

Ava's Butterfly Growth Chart

One of my favorites!

Zoe's Growth Chart

I was so sad when my friend Alyssa had to move to California for a new job. Her daughter Zoe's mural was my first commissioned project (the friendship came after), and the family was sad to have to leave it behind only a few months after I painted it. When Zoe turned two right before they moved, I knew just the growth chart to paint for her.

Maggie's Storage Boxes

My friend asked me to paint a series of nesting storage boxes as a gift for her friend's daughter. She was very specific in what she wanted: animals playing sports, girlie, and the family's irish setter.

(this design came from a cool fabric print I found)

Hannah's Garden Boxes

Hannah's mom wanted two toy storage boxes with a teddy bear picnic scene for her first birthday. She asked that Hannah's favorite two toys, a bear wearing a bunny suit and a blanket with a bunny head, be incorporated on the larger box, and the smaller box was to have a simpler accent design.

Pete's Mouse Box

My husband had been asking me to paint him something for his desk. He works in a laboratory research facility using mice, so here's what he got for Christmas. I swear the brown mouse is grooming the white one, not eating him!

Yeah. Ditto for the momma, although they are highly cannibalistic little buggers.

Creepy nude mouse.
