Welcome!

Welcome to Sleightholm Folk Art! I am Heather Sleightholm, a lover of the sacred and homespun, good books & gardening. I am a folk art painter and cross stitch designer inspired by all things cozy and handmade.

On this site I will share what I’m making and what’s inspiring me, my favorite books and notes from the garden. I also love to share my travels to some of my favorite historical sites.  I’m so glad you’ve decided to come by for a visit, thanks for spending some time here with me!

🎃Halloween Romance 🎃 at the end of the month, my husband and I will celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary! I think October is a wonderful month for romance! Do you have an autumn anniversary? Above all else, autumn means coziness to me 🍁🎃🍁 and there’s nowhere else better to be cozy, than with the one you love!
I’m trying to really savor this autumn— it’s been so slow in arriving! I hope it takes its time in its full glory as well 🍁what are you loving most about autumn right now?

:: SOLD:: Hi friends! In anticipation of Thanksgiving next month, I've painted a pair of pilgrim ladies! They are now in my etsy shop. I hope you enjoy "Goody Fletcher" and "Goody Carter." What do you think their story would be? Hope you're having a good Wednesday!
Thinking back to my trip to Salem in an October several years ago. Everything was just gorgeous and dripping with autumn ambiance-- the trees were brilliant with color, and The Witch House was looking amazing in her dark paint and 17th century beauty. This time of year always makes me think of New England, which I think owns a large piece of my heart! I'm hoping 2022 finds me exploring Sleepy Hollow....and roaming the Hudson River Valley with my BFF. Til then, I will dream of Salem and all it's glory....and paint, paint, paint!
Yesterday the kids and I went hiking at the @keystoneancientforest. The forest preserve protects the ancient oak and cedar cross timbers that are hundreds of years old. The cross timbers used to run from Kansas, Oklahoma and into Texas, marking the transition of the Ozarks into the prairie. Much of these forests were lost to settlement, but this section of the cross timbers remained because of its difficult, rocky terrain. This was part of the hunting grounds of the Osage, and American author Washington Irving passed through in 1832, writing about it in his “Tour of the Prairies.” I can’t wait to see it in its fall colors! See home in my stories highlight 🌲
