Hello friends! I'm super excited to be part of this kid-friendly event supporting women-owned businesses and pet rescues!
The Home, Garden & Paws Show is tomorrow, May 16 , Saturday, 12โ4pm at 9170 NE Turing Drive, Suite 175, Hillsboro (Tanasbourne Amberglen area close-ish to Meet Fresh, Jollibee, Yummy Time!๐๐)
Come say hi! ๐ค๐ฟ๐พ Iโll have a table there featuring my landscape design services and handmade peg dolls, alongside lots of amazing women-owned local businesses. Plusโฆ soooo many adorable pets up for adoption... bunnies, pugs, doggies, and even a miniature horse! ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ดThe girls are excited! I hope we won't go home with a new family member. ๐ฌ
Iโll also have free seeds to share, and Iโm always happy to chat about plants, gardens, and all things green. Hope to see you there! ๐
Thanks to Aubrey Martin of Martin Family Real Estate (She is our neighbor in the Bethany area and she does the ice cream social on the last day of school at Polygon Park) and Isel Michelle Tiziano of Camp Bow Wow Hillsboro OR. for organizing this event! ๐ค
*Please excuse our Christmas tree in the background, lol. Have not had time to take it down. ๐

Finally, all done with my biggest peg family to date. ๐ Now, I need ice cream & chocolate...and pumpkin pie, too. ๐คช
I've been updating my client and making sure all is good. She's pretty happy. I did have to adjust hair color on a few pegs, especially the blondes because the shade changes with the lighting in the photo. ๐ฌ
Just wanted to share the joy of completing this. Now to stamp, seal and package them for shipping soon. ๐

It's the Holiday rush! I'm now offering a limited number of Gift Certificates for custom family peg dolls. ๐
The past week, I've been receiving a lot inquiries for pegs as holiday gifts. I am fully booked for delivery by Christmas but a few have purchased gift certificates for me to make theirs at a later date. They are a fun and meaningful gift for that special friend, neighbor, in-laws, grandparents in your life!
This way, I won't need to decline commission requests and I won't be sacrificing work quality (or sleep!) to deliver by a deadline. ๐ Your recipients can then coordinate with me directly for the peggie details whenever they are ready. More than the pegs, my clients tell me they enjoy the process, too. They love seeing their blank pegs come to life with the progress photos I send them.
For an idea on pricing, it is $100 for a custom family of 4 ($25 per peg) with options for add-ons like custom backgrounds and display boxes. For gift certs, shipping will be free for orders over $75 for US addresses. More details on pricing on my website--https://livingmosaicdesign.com/peg-dolls
My latest peg creations are on Instagram--https://www.instagram.com/living_mosaic_design/
If you are interested, please comment below or send me a PM and we can coordinate! Thank you for sharing the peg doll love with your friends and family!

RBG...leader, icon, trailblazer, fighter, hero. ๐ I hope I did her justice with these peg dolls. This is my small way of raising awareness and thanking Justice Ginsburg for her lifeโs work, paving the way for a better future for my girls and all of us.

FUNDRAISER UPDATEโโRBG Pegsโ
Thank you, friends! Together, weโve raised almost $1000. Thatโs 40 pegs! ๐ค Ruth would be happy. It looks like an army! Yes, letโs be her army. Now more than ever, we need to be her army and advocate for equality. Vote wisely!
Iโm closing this first batch of RBG pegs, so that I can start mass production mode this weekend. ๐๐ผ I have not painted this many pegs in one go. ๐ฌ โI can do it!โ pep talk to self! ๐คช
โPegs for a Purposeโ project โ
Iโm painting these as a fundraiser to honor Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Please join me celebrate her contributions and at the same time support the causes she spent her life fighting for. If youโd like to help, let me know in the comments! Dolls will be $25 with $5 shipping but you are welcome to donate more. I will donate all proceeds (sans shipping) to a worthy cause. They make great gifts for the strong women in your life and a great reminder to keep on fighting for what you believe in. ๐ค
In our own way, we can make a difference. ๐๐ผ I canโt argue in court or write opinions/dissents, but I can paint! ๐
I have 40 peg orders to date. Thank you to all who have donated. ๐ค Do send suggestions on organizations we could donate the proceeds to. ๐๐ผ
