New Zombie Dolls......Ready for the world LOL

 This is Captain Hook. He is an Extreme Primitive Zombie doll with a bone to pick with that gator. LOL.   I have been making voodoo zombie dolls and this is one of them.  I forgot to take pics with his skull pins so I will add a pic with those.  He is $50 plus shipping which in the USA is $3.00.  He comes with 3 skull pins, a personalized tag and will be signed and dated.

Another year long gone............

I surely didn't realize how long it had been since I posted to my blog.  It has been a year and Nursing school is long over and I am working at the local hospital as an RN.  It seems like I was in school forever.  I have finally finished my studio space and have begun to create art again........doing the happy dance every time I think about it.  Recently I have been working on some projects I had been putting off for the last couple of years.  I just realized they have redone Blogger and I really like the changes.  I will do my best to add more frequently to my blog and be more artful everyday.   I wish everyone a wonderful new year and as my husband would say spring is just a few weeks away, only he would know the days exactly.

Nursing school almost over

I know I have been pretty lax about getting any new art done. I have been trying to finish up with school so I can start the journey for the rest of my life. Which I hope will include much more art and creative time. I have several wonderful ideas logged away in the corner of my mind. Occassionally one of them will creep out and I have to attend to it immediately and the others wait patiently on me to get to them. The next few months are going to be the mosts hectic that I will have so I hope to find some crafty time as I go. Right now I have to hop of my beloved computer and get some much needed nursing reading done. Have a great week.

New babies for the new year.................

Well I don't mind making my very own playmates and these guys have tons of personality. Jumper is so bright and boootiful and Bernie looks a little cranky but I am sure he is just a bit cold. Only in the 20s outside so he has reason to complain. I am not sure if I will sell these or keep them for myself.. Sometimes I have to indulge my childish side as well as everyone else's.....LOL

Some New Usable Art

Well that Muse is still haunting me........I had a million things I wanted to do today and she just wouldn't leave me alone. She has had me making these light switch covers using old magazines and such. Terribly fun to make I must admit.........LOL

Now I am resting finally....eating pringles in the old recliner thinking of having a beer. I think I could do this everyday............hmmmm guess not just because there is always too much else to do. Anyone interested in the lightswitch covers can email me $16.99 for single and $19.99 for a double---these took quite a bit of time to make. Each has been sprayed with a clear sealer several times. I have several of these in my home and they hold really well.

New Bookmarks Available

New bookmarks for the Artisan Center in Hindman.....$14.25- let me know if anyone is interested, it will be a couple of weeks before I can deliver up there so I will send them out from home...............

New Work for the New Year

I know that I have been terrible about posting here but it just seems to be so hard to find the time to create something that you can't get out of your mind and to find time to share it with everyone else. I spend lots of time just trying to decide which project I want to do and then by the time I decide I have to hurry, LOL

I do have some new things. I am moving into a different direction for now. I have a muse that just won't leave me alone so I have decided to just do what she tells me, that is so much easier than fighting her and I am having so much fun. Maybe the biggest lesson I have learned is that my inner voice is much smarter than I......................

Almost Christmas

Well today is the day for me to put my tree up--- not that I enjoy putting it off. I usually have my tree up the 1st of November but for some reason this year I just didn't find the time. It always feels more festive with a tree, lights and some pretty papers and packaging to catch the sparkle. I just know that my little doll ornaments are screaming and gasping for air in those old plastic bins. I bet they are calling me terrible names and planning on getting revenge as I sleep later in the month.......I don't know do I want to put my life in danger? Yep, LOL, better get 'em out. If you don't have your tree up you better get to it, those sweet little ornaments will hold a grudge.

My Fun Raised Beds

Well we have spent all week working on these great raised beds. I have many more planned but these are a great start. We bought our topsoil from William's Nursery here in Whitley County. They have wonderful plants and always have a smile. So stop by and see them.
I have my peas planted and have my pipes ready for summer irrigation. Wish me luck. I will let you know how it goes.

New Pirate Painting

I have been working on some new paintings whenever I have a spare few moments and seem to be inclinded to work on Pirates. Pirates roam the high seas looking for treasures and danger. They inspire young men to leave home for adventure and young damsels of adventure and passion. This little guy just met his first mermaid.

New Website New Day

I have decided to change the name of my website Cumberland Falls Arts. We live so close to this beautiful state park that I thought it would only be fitting to change the website in Cumberland Falls honor. Millions of visitors come to our hometown of Corbin Ky to see the Moonbow, the only moon bow in this hemisphere. We have such a wonderland of natural beauty and it is such an inspiration. I hope to add some wonderful pictures from this area regularly.

Swap Dolls

I was in a Fairy swap in April and I got the cutest Troll, here is a pic of him, he is a real meanie. LOL His wonderful maker did a great job and I am thrilled with him. Thank you Victoria!!!!

By the Sea

A day at the beach, I can't think of anything more magical and beautiful. I have spent time on beaches ranging from Daytona Fl., Wrightsville NC, Destin Fl. I also loved Cancun and Ocapulco Mexico. I wanted to paint something that reminded me of that wonderful time I spent on these wonderful sand covered paradises.

Here is my memory and it is for sale on my website at http://www.nannynortonprims.com/.

New Paintings on My Website

Finally I have gotten back to painting. I have been so busy lately that it has been a real challenge for me to paint lately. I put it off for weeks but the need overtook me and I was able to finish some work. Yeh!!! I love to paint but sometimes it is just intimidating to finish something that you can be proud of.
I have added a few works to my website that I had put aside for a while. I hope to keep track of my work more and add pics more often.
I am also writing some short stories so I will let everyone know how that goes. I hope to be able to add some here soon.

New Dolls This Week

Today I have been pondering on my next project. I have really gotten lazy about my painting and have been focusing on my dolls. I think they give me a chance to go back and be child. I think I missed that when I was growing up. I made a Valentine Doll and I named her Kimmie,

here she is

I also made a Sally doll which is a character of mine

she has her little dog too.

I will try to add a couple more tomorrow.
