Order Suspension Notice

Attention Clients!


All Incoming orders have been temporarily suspended.


I am very, very backlogged, and I am struggling to complete  all my clients orders. The weather here in New England has not been very helpful. Random severe storms have been knocking out my studios power, and the humidity has been slowing down cure times. Please accept my apologies about falling behind.
Please, check in with me every week to see how my queue is faring.
Sincerely,
~Amanda Martin of Dreaming Tree Studio

Lets Go Outside...

Some Good friends sent me this:

Subject: Don't Sit in the House. Go Outside and Enjoy Nature

....never mind,  let's just go back inside ... Enjoy!

The Aftermath...June 1, 2011

Today, after the series of Tornadoes hit around us, Last evening, 1 to the West less than 3 miles Over Fiske Hill in Sturbridge, and another only 1-2 miles away from us at the Airport, which My Husband and I watched from our front porch. 
We took  drive to survey the damages...
It was so scary! I am just happy that we are all okay.

On with life...

It is hard to keep shelling out all our money, on a now passed, but well loved pet. Even the Animal Hospital staff was so very saddened by the loss of such a brave little trooper. He kept on purring up until the very end.

Having the information that his liver was failing helped my decision making a little less painful. Once a feline's liver fails, there is really nothing to be done to save it. I never wanted him to suffer.

Our vet bill payment for this month is due very soon. We have to come up with $1,000 dollars to avoid and surcharges. On Monday, I will need to pick up his ashes and pay $350 up front, in order to bring him home.  Every donation is helping. We still need help.

To paint my Happy Day

...It is interesting how inspiration can settle upon my thoughts-in my minds eye.

75 degrees

gentle, warm breeze

laying atop freshly mown grass-its sweet smell.

I gaze up into the sky...perfectly blue, with perfectly drifting clouds

birds singing, new leaves-softly rustling

Cherry blossom petals fluttering down, to the ground.

Funny, how sadness can give way to bliss, melting away from my soul---if only for a moment.

I close my eyes, feel my body's weight nestled onto the earths surface-as one.

Warm green, embrace...

If this is what heaven is like, I will look forward to it. But for now, I will have to settle for artistic capture-to protect my memory.
