Visions of Sugarplums Danced in Her Head...

Hello, my friends!

I do hope that you had a wonderful Christmas!

Ours was very different this year since we did not travel or have time with our families. We stayed home, just the two of us....

Watching movies, snacking, sipping our usual java. It was quiet.

My family will celebrate Christmas in January, here in our home. We are very much looking forward to that!

I still felt the Christmas spirit, despite the fact that I wasn't with family...

A holiday ham has served us several yummy meals, gingerbread men were all gobbled up, and Christmas lights are turned on each morning and bounce off of the walls through the night. Visions of sugarplums have danced in our heads.

Much clay sculpting while sitting here in our recliners!

Joy, joy, joy!

Hubby even helped me "frost" more faux cupcakes. He likes being needed!

Aren't these kissing bunnies adorable?!!!

I made only one. It was very involved.... But oh, so worth it!

The creative ideas just kept on coming as we sat through Christmas... eating popcorn and chocolates (in addition to the ham and the home baked treats from a neighbor).

I thought to myself, "Alice In Wonderland"!!! I want to do a series of Wonderland sculptures!

So, let me introduce to you, the very first in the series...

The white rabbit titled, "Sweet Wonderland". There are only seven available. Love the gift box in which each one comes with! (I ship anywhere in the United States, message me if interested).

I've really had fun creating these!

Are you ready to ring in the new year?

I'm ready!!!

Remember, I'm posting frequent studio updates and photos on my "Missy Trent Art & Offerings" Facebook page! I do hope that you'll drop by and give me a "like"!!!

Stay warm, darlings!

I'll see you again very soon!

 

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all...

and to all a good night!

 

I will see you tomorrow, right here!

The Red Christmas Box...

Hello!

A new week, it is!

Did you have a nice weekend?

 

We made our trip to the big mall on Saturday...

And even captured a glimpse of Santa Claus! Oh, yes. He says that he is soon heading our way!!!

After a full day of shopping, browsing, tasting, and dining out...

It was so nice to be back at home, in the warmth... With my art journal that had been neglected for weeks.

From where my plush recliner sits in the living room...

This is my view. The Christmas tree...

And a red box that sits beneath it. Oh yeah...

I can't wait to show and tell what hubby got me for Christmas! He refuses to let me have them now. I have wanted these for a year or so...

And now just seems like a more fitting time to own them.

 

I spent a very good portion of Sunday cleaning and organizing my art studio.

I have a clean work table now...

Ready to be loaded down soon with January and February art!

Here's a little peek at a sculpture to come!

I am ready to get started so I shall close for now.

I wish you a magical day and I'll see you again real soon!

 

Joyful December Ornaments!

Hello, friends!

Don't you just love December?

I'm sitting here this morning, coffee in hand... admiring our lighted Christmas tree. It's c-c-c-cold outside. Frost on the windows. Grey skies.

The spirit of Christmas is scattered throughout the house. Boxes ready to ship. I'm happy to announce that my ornaments are selling out again and again! If I only had some hard working elves to help, I could produce even more of them...

But, I don't. Sigh.

After being inside for days, making, painting, sculpting, and boxing...

It was nice to get out Friday night, with hubby. We went into the city for dinner and shopping. Afterwards, we took a slow drive down Mass street in Lawrence, Kansas, to enjoy the lovely lights.

I snapped some pics from the car. (Not the best), however, I wanted to share!

My heart is happy and filled with such joy!

I wish this for each and every one of you as well.

Now, back to my work table, I go!

I shall meet you right back here, very soon!
