Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

My what a difference a year makes.  Peep has changed SO much it's hard to believe.  This is her, last Christmas, click here.

Now she is talking saying new words every day.  She is walking, running, climbing.  She has been walking around with her afghan on her head.  She comes up and hugs me and pats me on the back looking like Cousin It.  She's been sleeping through the night since July.  Loves dogs, babies, kids, people, horses, and on and on.  Talks about her Papa (which I've learned she calls Nana too, so it's grandparent encompassing) and cousin K* all the time, along with our dog and the neighbors dog.  She loves for her daddy to hide under a blanket sitting on the couch, she pulls the blanket off and he chases her snorting and growling.  She laughs her head off and the minute he stops she says and signs "more?".

To add to our joy, we are expecting baby #2.  We're excited and nervous...  I'm not sure how I will corral two munchkins and get them out of the house, it'll be interesting!

Safe travels everyone!  See you next year!

Flutterby 11x14" Acrylic on canvas
















Commissioned piece just finished!  I hope the commissioner (?) likes it.  She requested a butterfly and left it to me to sort out the style and doing so has sent me on a bug kick, so expect to see more bug paintings coming up!

I used real acrylics rather than craft acrylics on this and I must say I have been converted.  They are SO much nicer than craft acrylics!!!  I thought they'd be a lot more expensive, but they aren't, especially if you catch them on sale. 

You know...  it takes me longer to finish a painting with a small one to chase and wrangle, but it's as satisfying as ever.

Blogging....

Thursday, September 9, 2010



















I've updated the blog just a bit, shocking I know.  Not only have I been a lazy poster, but I also didn't touch the header or background in at least 2 years if not more. I was sick of it, were you?  I'm working on a new header, perhaps something for fall.  That might inspire me to do a new header before two years..  or it might not.  ;)

Creating...

Here's a potential design for a quilt my mom is going to make for my daughter... I had another design all drawn up, with lots of forest animals, but it seemed too unisex and I decided to draw a more feminine design. My mom is amazing with a sewing machine, I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Hi all, I've posted 2 new, cute Christmas/Holiday card in my shop, frog here and lion here!  Check them out.  

It's snowing here today...  I'm not crazy about the cold of winter, but I do love the snow!

Nothing new to show you, I've been a slug in the evenings lately.  I blame the cold, brrrrrr. What's sad is that it hasn't even been that cold.  I'm in for it when the real cold comes.  
Anyway, here is a little web banner I did for a fellow Etsian.  I think it turned out quite nice!

Someone bought 3 onesies from my Etsy store yesterday. They wanted it shipped direct to a friend so I included this card (i've censored for privacy). I hope they like it! So exciting to have an order!!
