<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With the new year fast approaching I began to reminisce about a lot of things...one of which was my Mouse Droppings business. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I spent some time going through my earliest blog posts...and I was surprised to find that I started Mouse Droppings Folk art almost eleven years ago. Wow! Where did the time go? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have met so many wonderful people along the way! Blogging really opened up a whole new world for me and it allowed me to show my work to a global audience. In the past I belonged to some amazing online groups and through them I began to build up my clientele. In the past I sold my work on Ebay and now I sell it here on my blog...getting to know Etsy and Facebook and now Instagram. I have to admit it has been hard to acclimatize to all this social media. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With life becoming more complicated I am ever so grateful that I can turn to my studio work for the peace, quiet and solitude that I need to thrive.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> My latest custom made piece was created for Amy, she requested a Hanging Heart Pin-Keep in teals and blues.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started with my choice of fabrics...French General blue striped and solid color fabric, beige cross stitch fabric and the stitching was created with Valdani variegated floss. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The finished hearts and cross stitching were both aged and sanded to perfection...people freak out when I tell them I sand my cross stitching!

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am still working on getting through my list of commissions...it has been slow and I apologize to those folks who are still waiting for their pieces to be made. It has been a real balancing act these few months trying to develop our property and get all the garden beds built and things planted. It is a 4.5 acre property and I have a to do list a mile long.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you want to make your own rusty Donut Cutters you can go to your local cooking store to pick up a few...take them home and toss them into a solution of Vinegar, Salt and a little Water...it is stinky so place the container outside for a few days. Take the cutters out to air dry and they will continue to rust further. I then sand them them. As a finishing touch I apply clear shoe polish and buff them till they shine. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I began my search for an old cross stitch pattern and came up with this one from my an old thrift store book called "Charted Folk Designs from Countries along the Danube" </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The cross stitch linen was ordered from Lori of "<a href="http://farmhousenotforgotten.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">NotForgotton Farm</a>" Its her line of farmhouse linen that she ages and stains which saves me from doing it myself. The embroidery floss was dyed by my friend Lorraine who has an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/colourcomplements" target="_blank">Etsy store</a> from which she sell her hand dyed threads.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have embellished the top edge of this pin-keep with Bullion knots...I think they add a nice decorative touch. I stuffed it with Lavender buds and now it scents the air nicely where ever it is placed. I really enjoyed making this piece and hope to do more in the future...maybe with a a wee critter on top.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This past weekend the Sunshine Coast where I live put on it's annual <a href="http://www.sunshinecoastartcrawl.ca/" target="_blank">Art Crawl</a>...it is a wonderful event where you can tour up and down our coast and visit over a 140 local artist's studios, group shows and galleries. There's a funny saying around these parts that there must be something in the water here that makes people highly creative...as we have one of the highest populations of artists and crafts people in Canada. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It was also a milestone weekend for me as this weekend was the first time ever that I have shown my Mouse Droppings art in a public place...and I have been creating my little characters for almost 14 years(has it been that long...WOW). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My art probably would have stayed out of public view had it not been for Lynn(thanks Lynn), our local rug hooking teacher who kicked my butt and told me to get my *#%$@*! out there and show my stuff!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A lot of folks got pretty emotional while looking at my critters and hooked rugs...they sparked a lot of conversations about the past, even a few teary eyes as they remembered the good old days...but best of all as I huddled behind my rug hooking frame I could watch folks turn the corner and see my work for the first time...they stood there and their faces lite up with these huge grins...they would walk a little closer and soak in the details...picking them up,turning them around. It really made my heart swell and it really brought home that this is why I've been making these things for so long...simply...they make people happy! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I do have to mention that I didn't have anything available for purchase...I decided to have a show and tell instead and I admit that I did this because I was really nervous of how folks would react to my work up here. I'm a hermit, and coming out the creative closet into a public space was a B I G deal for me, limiting my exposure by having less to see was my way of coping with a situation that made me feel uncomfortable.</span><br />

This is something I've never done in all my years of creating these characters...I've shown my paintings and mixed media pieces but not my little characters..it will be fun to see what folks think. I have to say that I am a bit nervous about getting enough pieces completed so that it will be full and interesting...having to create a show is very motivating! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It feels pretty good to be stitchin and sewin and dreamin. I have avoided getting busy, avoided the work...but maybe...just maybe there was a benefit to all of this idleness. Some time to breath, to store up creative energy. Some time to reflect and ponder life and what it means to me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Another recently finished piece to share with you. Months ago I cross stitched a small piece with a couple of sweet birds on it...it was created with Valdani variegated floss in muted brown tones.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I wasn't sure what to do with this cross stitched piece so it sat in a basket for a long time till I pulled it out the other day. I fiddled with it here and there and this is what I ended up creating...a small pin-cushion with a cross stitching mouse perched on top. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Happy New Year to everyone...I figured it was about time that I shared my new space with you. It's hard for me to believe but I have been working here for six months already!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXs6Pw2btGOgcsfQfpiqj84iyob0t6SnoKjhfJwb4ova8xkQEPJNmZ91Su8Mmic1GJRM3lIdpEb82BdteASugxkVmqRddG4VXa1YuZnEkXTE6aKDpHmRLk8V7G9O0SDdYnU3vgmiWs_FQT/s1600/studio+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXs6Pw2btGOgcsfQfpiqj84iyob0t6SnoKjhfJwb4ova8xkQEPJNmZ91Su8Mmic1GJRM3lIdpEb82BdteASugxkVmqRddG4VXa1YuZnEkXTE6aKDpHmRLk8V7G9O0SDdYnU3vgmiWs_FQT/s1600/studio+3.jpg" height="400" width="330" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Its just a tiny place, 9x10 feet...but it is ever so cozy and inviting. I admit it felt pretty weird to get up in the morning and get ready to go to work instead of just padding down the hall in my bare feet and PJ's to work in my home studio. Do I miss being able to work in my PJ's...sure, but it doesn't compare to the feeling I get when I arrive at my new space...my little piece of heaven away from home.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love that I can spread those doors wide in spring, summer and fall and let the birdsong and breezes in...and enjoy the view of that big old Maple tree. I even have a cat who visits me and a resident squirrel who chats away in the branches by my door.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I had a local carpenter craft me some big old cedar shelves that go all the way to the ceiling...When I open up in the morning the scent of cedar greets me and cheers me. I love that I have so much space now to store my supplies. It was a wise move to get floor to ceiling shelves. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also like that I get lots of visitors...especially in the summer and fall when all the tourists are visiting. I have met so many wonderful people and have had some interesting chats about my work and studio space. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's been funny to watch people peer through my doorway, then they slowly come inside to look at all the curiosity's that line my shelves...I have been told that my studio makes them feel young again and I have heard them say..."It feels really good in here!" Good energy is a wonderful thing to share.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This space is still a work in progress and I have left lots of space on the walls to hang my hooked rugs and perhaps more shelves. As time moves along I know it will become even more magical, warm and inviting. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am thinking of what is to come this new year...all the things that I would like to do.
