Art Barn Fundraiser for Farm Animal Sanctuary

moo-moos and cluck-clucks! I've donated a few Patrician Prints for Art Barn fundraiser to benefit rescued farm animals at Happy Trails Sanctuary, Ohio (click banner). wish i lived closer to spend time with all the animals and attend this worthwhile event!
even if you aren't in Ohio, you can still help by sponsoring an individual, like Liberace the rooster, Diamond the gray mare, or Stg Pepper the pig and many many more.

back to the sewing table.. little meeces in progress for tomorrow: March PFATT Marketplace update! enjoy your saturday!

Patrician Prints 1000 Etsy Sales!

 
happy March! we've reached the threshold: 1000 Etsy sales! to celebrate (and get me away from the computer) we went to our favorite restaurant last night, Amitabul- korean vegan temple cuisine. their kimchi is the *best* i've ever had. (now i just remembered there are leftovers in the fridge i must attack! :)

the prints have kept me one busy peng peng and yes.. i know i promised new bears last month (how time whizzes by!). i have an acute case of bearmakers guilt, lol.  balancing different projects can be a challenge, though i find it keeps things fresh.  i have new ideas brewing and the sewing table is a-callin'...

creatures of habit

foot tracks crossing paths, punctuating the smooth blanket of snow before sunrise this morning; my husband and local feral cat King Henry are off on their morning commutes!
i was tempted to follow King Henry's tracks to find out where he heads to every day, without fail, sun or snow. the little bugger!

speaking of habits, i have joyfully broken the habit of consuming dairy and eggs (yes, even "free-range" eggs which i sadly discovered are not cruelty-free).  it took me a while- 25 years to be precise- to make the transition from vegetarian to vegan. this path of abundance has happily led us (Rob too) to explore/ include delicious raw food dishes (way beyond the 'cold salad' cliche). it takes 3 weeks to develop a habit and we are 5 months in and feeling, noticeably, better than ever! one of the catalysts for change was watching Forks Over Knives on Netflix, which i highly recommend seeing.

some fabulous food inspiration:
