The little froggie printed so beautifully as a keychain, this is def a design I'm keeping a copy of for myself! I want to paint more frogs and little critters in the new year, eventually I'd like to make a series of native species. 🐸 I'll have him with me for the first time at @halcon_scificon !

Keychain bin 1 of 2 is officially as stuffed as it can be, haha. The second box still has a bit of room to grow... so I'm not officially in trouble re: storage until next year. 😅

I have two new designs for this fall and I absolutely LOVE them both! First up, and like the other, I've shown this before in magnet form, is the Snail and Mushrooms design. I took advantage of lovely weather the other day to crawl around in the mud and take some photos in the moss, haha.

Sohier was able to stop by for @teapothecarytea 's grand opening today and it's looking really nice in there!!! They'll be open until 7pm today, and then reopening tomorrow (Saturday) from 11am - 5pm. So, check them out at 2739 Agricola St. I can't wait to get down myself to have a look!!!

If you were able to snag tickets to Hal-Con this year, you can find me in ✨ Booth C5✨ I am surrounded by art friends, in between @anoddityortwo and @hurricane.country.historical ! The map and schedule are both live on Hal-Con's website, so you can go check them out. I can't wait to see you all soon!

By popular demand, the Stardew Valley Farmhouse as a magnet will be debuting at HalCon next month! I'll be in a nursing home babbling about the flying snakes (fish???) in the mines one day. I think this is the most I've ever replayed a game...

A closer-up shot of one of my new favourites for this season. I'm going to try to photograph them all as I card them and schedule a bunch of posts. I'm so bad about sharing what I'm actually making, lol.

My Fall/Winter lineup for 2025 is short, but sweet. 😘

You can find me at Stop 15 in La Grange at l'Acadie de Chezzetcook (79 Hill Road, West Chezzetcook) this Sunday from 10am-5pm for this year's Surfside Studio Tour! I'm sharing space with @muddysquirrelstudios, @jessedunleavy, and @chezcraftartisancrafts this year, come by and say hi!

You can find me at IKEA with Dartmouth Makers for my last show of the summer this coming weekend! We'll be upstairs in the Community Room, which is next to the food court, and admission is free! Bide a While will be accepting donations at the entrance (vote cats vs dogs!!!)

11am - 4pm both days!

It was such a good time in the spring that Sips & Sorcery and Propeller got together to make it happen for a summer version! We'll be in the lower part of the Arcade from 10am - 4pm on Saturday, August 16th! Admission is free if you just want to pop in to look around 🌈

A little sketch-painting I did in an attempt to simplify, both in the shapes/details and colours. This is mostly hunter green & imidazolone brown with tiny touches of ultramarine. My challenge is figuring out a way to get the gold to scan nicely, which you'd think I would know by now, haha

Another peek at a new notepad design, this one is the Frog Pond, which has already been introduced to the world as a sticky note. I just love these little froggies, I've also turned them into bookmarks! 💚 🐸 💚

Little snippet of a new notepad design! ✨ I have a bunch of new notepad designs ready for this fall - some more nerdy designs, but also some froggies, lupines, and moths! I'm so happy that people are loving the notepads, they are a blast to make!
August 1, 2025 at 4:31 PM
I know I've posted this original before but here it is again because I love it. Ever since I mentioned in a reel that the shape of it would make a nice ornament, I've had requests to follow through with that thought, so expect to see it added to the ornament lineup for 2025!

A little WIP Wednesday on this Tuesday afternoon. It's stalled for a bit as I'm trying to fight off a migraine, 🤞 meds + guzzling water helps, haha.

I use oak leaves a lot in my art, and I've been switching through diff kinds of oak - I've never done red oak, which is the native species here.

Entering a roughly 2 week period where every day is scheduled, lol. I've been REALLY embracing planning things out in detail this year & it is saving my sanity. I don't just plan out work, but also things like going out in the garden to weed, because even my rest has to be work of some kind I guess

The Stardew Valley Farmhouse and scroll through to see the painting I used for the backside of the charm version. I now wish I'd just painted the whole sky and mountains out in a square frame instead of to fit the odd silhouette of the Farmhouse, but it is what it is.

This is the original of the frog pond sticky note. As I was setting it up for print, I realized the treeline was too dark & all my edits to make it easy to write over didn't look right. It worked out in the end though! This is one of the originals I'm bringing with me to HalCon this year 🐸 💚 🐸

I am probably on the road with @anoddityortwo as this is being posted, on our way to New Brunswick for #Animaritime ! This year, I'll be in Booth V11 (she'll be in booth V10) with all kinds of new D&D and nature-themed goodies, so stop by starting tomorrow at 1:30pm! See you there, friends! 😀
July 3, 2025 at 1:05 PM
Another Keychain! I have way too many hours in Stardew Valley, but I feel that's probably a normal experience given how many people still love and play it so many years after it came out! I was going to marry Penny in my latest playthrough but shifted in the 11th hour and now I'm dating Sebastian.
June 30, 2025 at 12:31 PM
I don't remember if I posted this or not before, but here's a sample pic of most of the 4x6 notepads I'll have with me at Animaritime. I'll also have limited quantities of the Initiative Tracker pad so 🤞 it's enough stock for the show!
June 27, 2025 at 12:02 PM
Well, sometimes when you schedule posts, something goes wrong and you don't notice that they never posted... 🤦 My Summer 2025 lineup! I only have two shows in HRM this summer and one is this coming weekend!

This is a reprint of an old sticker design - I've changed around the base material as well as the type of holographic treatment and I'm really happy with how this turned out! Set against some of my favourite childhood books, do you recognize any of them?
