Special Order


"Along with love, roots to grow strong and wings to fly are the greatest gifts one can give."

I had so much fun creating this custom order for my neighbors! It is a birthday gift for their daughter's child care provider. Their 'Tata" is a special woman who watches after 5 kids as if they were her own! In fact, since she considers herself the 'momma bird' who watches after her 'flock,' we knew that this was the direction this piece had to take! Also of special significance is 'Blackie' in the bottom corner - the beloved cat that she lost this year. Hope she'll like it!

The pictures didn't turn out the greatest - we've had several rainy days around here lately, but you get the idea!
