Here's a little ditty...

Music is SUCH a big part of my life - actually I've always thought it was a big part of everyone's lives - and have an extremely eclectic taste that seeps through numerous genres.

Listening to certain songs from the "days of yore" immediately transports me to another time and place - the closest I'll ever get to a time machine! I'm sure you are all much the very same. :)

 

I also love to sing (even if my puppy, Riley, is usually my only audience!). It is actually very rare that I prefer silence over background music... usually I only fully welcome silence when I'm reading a really juicy book. Since I already share so much with you all, I thought I would share my favorite music as well!

 

Introducing... the little.black.sheep.shop's radio station, courtesy of Pandora.com! I update the  station almost daily since I listen to it all the time. That means it's constantly changing and never gets stale... because, let's face it... nobody likes stale tunes. :)

Happy listening!

 

A treasure trove of monkeys

One of the curators of an Etsy Treasury selected my Cheeky Little Monkey painting to include in her monkey-themed Treasury!!

Some of the other pieces are absolutely adorable... I love the little baby's monkey hat!

Click on the preview below to go bananas & peruse the treasury for yourself!  Unfortunately, this treasury closed on Friday, January 9. The preview will have to preserve its memory!





Thank you, abbasgirl, for featuring my piece in your collection!

Franken-doodle!!!

I usually do little more with my doodles and scribbles besides store them safely in the pages of my sketchbook (which is always always always with me when I travel – and just an arm’s reach away when I’m at home).


I suppose I save them all there for a “rainy” day when I’m feeling a bit drained. The friendly little creatures often give me ideas for new paintings and various projects.


But I’ve started to let them escape! They can now be found in color… And in ink… And in your cozy little abodes instead of being stuck forever in the pages of my somewhat drab sketchbook! (A much better life for scribbles & doodles, dontcha think? :) )


The Patch Heart Print in the shop was the first to fully come to life. He now has two friends – LOVE and Scarf & Mittens. I’m actually selling the originals in the shop at the moment… A decision which was somewhat difficult seeing as a lot of effort goes into creating these friendly little things!


Here are some pics of LOVE at various stages:





(As a quick sidenote… I really can’t wait to get my camera back up & running so I can get better pics for you guys & for the shop!)






    


Feel free to introduce yourselves to these new guys at the shop and make them feel welcome! :)

Happy New Year!!

Hope you all had a safe holiday...

And that you aren't having to nurse any headaches or hangovers this morning!!! :)
