Featured Artist, Judy Elizabeths Flock



For 16 years Judy Elizabeth tended her flock of sheep in beautiful Babb, Montana.

The small town of Babb sits on the edge of Glacier National Park. A magical place where creativity has room to blossom. In 1984 Judy Elizabeth created a soft sculpture pattern for her sheep and ewes.

These sweet lambs/ewes are great collectibles for all ages. Each lamb comes with the story of "Jena the Gentle Ewe" -- Jena was a white faced ewe who had long black lashes and freckles on her nose -- she had started out as a bum lamb (motherless and raised on a bottle). Jena also helped acclimate their Pyrenees guard dog puppy, Shu-Shu-La, to live with and guard the flock of sheep.

Judy Elizabeth spends hours on each lamb/ewe. They are hand sewn and stuffed until they are just right, adding lashes and eye lids, ears, legs, etc. They come with felt bows and a bell around their neck.

The only lambing Judy Elizabeth does now is with her needle and thread but Jena still lives on with each creation.

Chicks and Eggs


The other day I was shopping on Etsy and viewing shops that make infant items. I was looking for a gift for a newborn. I discovered Chicks and Eggs. I am so impressed by her shop. The leather shoes are such quality and a variety of styles to choose from. I found myself wishing I was shopping for a girl because the Matina style is so cute!

I also loved the fabrics she uses for her bibs and burp clothes, very modern and fun! Check out her shop, you will enjoy it!

Hmmm...a husbands conspiracy

This last weekend here in beautiful western Montana the sun was shining, the temps were in the high forties and the "plan" was to start our spring cleaning.

Instead, my lovely husband brought home the flu. We slept, we ran fevers and we slept some more! Kitty Luna loved it. She laid with me the whole time, probably thinking "Finally, these humans are coming over to my side".

So, the spring cleaning didn't get started this weekend but after a three pound weight loss I can say the spring diet has begun!
