This was such a Mad Hectic Week that I had gone to sleep thinking that participating in this year's Mad Tea Party was going to be out of the question.  I was so sad and disappointed. (Sigh)

***

Then a magical thing happened!

I woke up from a deep and tired slumber to a Wonderful sight!

I couldn't believe my eyes! 

In fact I rubbed them twice then thrice

The mysterious garden fairies set up a magical tea party just for us!

As I got closer I saw all the deliciousness before me.

And What a gorgeous MaD Quilt!  

Those sweet little fairies sure were busy last night!

Triple layer cakes and Thistleberry Tea! YUM!!!

Chocolate dipped pretzel wands!

Strawberry Cupcakes with chocolate drizzle...Oh My!

And tasty watermelon cookies too! 

WoW, what a treat!

They even hung the tea party garland I was working on and sprinkled it with fairy magic!

"I do hope you will join me for a spot of tea!" said Miss Pink

"It's the perfect temperature", piped up Timmy the Tea Cup.

"And Oh so delicious", chuckles Mrs. Periwinkle.

Handmade Original Halloween Ornies in June On The PFATT Marketplace

This month on the PFATT Marketplace I will be offering 5 one of a kind Halloween ornies!  I know it's only June but I could not help but get out my Black Sparkly and Spooky Halloween tree and begin making ornaments for it.
It can be a challenge to fill a Halloween tree if you wait until the Halloween season ; )
This month I am offering a Jack-O-Lantern, Ghostie, Mummy, Full Moon, and Remorseful Black Widow Spider.

I can only post 3 photos on the PFATT Marketplace so I made a slideshow with the others this month at the bottom of my PFATT Marketplace page.  I do hope you will stop in to take a peak.  In the meantime I will show you first, here on my blog, what the goodies look like up close.

Jack-O-Lantern

Ghostie

Barnabas Collins OOAK Art Doll

Good evening, 

I wanted to share my latest creation with all of you.  He was a commissioned piece for a very nice collector and the biggest fan, I know, of the show 'Dark Shadows'. 

I feel honored that he asked me to do this for him.  I was so happy that he was pleased with the end result!

Although there is a movie on the horizon with Johnny Depp playing Barnabas Collins, this was made with the original Barnabas Collins, Jonathan Frid in mind. 

In Memory of Jonathan Frid 

December 2, 1924 – April 14, 2012

Reading to Teddy...My New PFATT Marketplace Piece

She my newest little doll and she will be available on the PFATT Marketplace this morning at 10 AM Pacific Time.

She is priced to begin her journey at $38.00

I hope she finds a good home. 

Happy April Sunshine to each and every one of you!

Gremlins The Mischief Makers

Legend has it, there are little creatures that like to cause mischief to mechanical items so they no longer work.  This is especially true on Airplanes.  These creatures are known as Gremlins.  For some reason this is what Steampunk makes me think of, so in addition to my Owl lady I also made these little Baby Gremlin or Widget ornies.   These are currently up for auction on EBAY and they will end on Sunday night. I hope you will stop in and check out their full story.

I hope all of you have a very Happy Easter!
