Saint Francis of Assisi preaching to the animals. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals, the environment, Italy, merchants, and stowaways. His feast day is October 4th.

The original illustration is my Christmas present to my mom, she loves Saint Francis ^-^ And, of course, I had to add a dachshund! lol And a kitty too :D

This illustration is now available in my stores on Cafe Press, Zazzle, Red Bubble, and my deviantArt Print Shop.

Also, over the next few days, I will be adding a lot of new products to all of my stores. They should all be posted by early next week, as long as I don't run into any problems, so be sure to check them out! ^-^

And, just in case I don't post again next week (which is a distinct possibility), I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Ringo's Sniffy Expedition

With the nice, cooler fall weather, we have been taking Ringo outside more often for walks and "sniffy expeditions". Usually I forget to take my camera with me, so I mostly take pics of him in the house. But, for once, I actually remembered it! So here are some pics of Ringo on a sniffy expedition ^_^

Kisa's "Falling Leaves" Dress

I made a new dress for Kisa last week, finally took pics today. I call it her "Falling Leaves" dress, because the colors remind me of the leaves when they change color in the autumn. I think she looks really pretty in it ^-^ I actually would like her to have different shoes with it, but this is the only pair I have for her right now. I am planning to knit some shoes for her out of the same yarn, so I will post another picture if those work out. For now, this is it:

Kisa

In August I found a wonderful doll artist in Russia, she makes porcelain BJDs. I commissioned one, and she just arrived yesterday! I have named her Kisa, and I think she is so gorgeous ^-^ So I just wanted to post a few pics of her here.

With Alyona ^-^

Waving hi - I took this pic to send to her creator to let her know that she arrived safely ^-^

I am just totally in love with this doll, she's so delicate and sweet. I have a lot of plans for her! If you'd like to see more of this artist's dolls, you can check out her blog, JR Dolls (the site is in Russian, but even if you can't read it, it's just fun to look at the pics). I wanted to post more pics of Kisa in different outfits, but some of the clothes I got for her didn't fit :( Most of the stuff I made did, though, so I will post more pics soon ^_^
