Ever since George sent me the photo of our finished drawing, I have been eagerly awaiting its arrival in the mail. I know my own drawings and paintings look so much better in person so I couldn’t wait to see his drawing. Well, last night I was making dinner when I noticed a package from…
Day 300 (300!! Woohoo!) We went for a hike today at Rock Bridge State Park. The kids did pretty well with the hike up to the Devils Ice Box, a small cave opening. (The bottom right photo. The other picture on top is the Rock Bridge.) I’m super disappointing in my camera because every picture…
I seem to be in a very easily distracted, scatter brain, rambly mood lately. More so than usual anyhow. If that’s even possible! I thought I’d share a few things that are on my mind, to clear some room for more important things. Like finishing up this work before I leave in an hour. Almost…
So, I went to order some proofs of my strawberry fabric but I just couldn’t do it! The total was $40, and I only ordered 3 of the patterns. (A yard of one, and fat quarters of two others.) I could just buy the $5 test swatch of each one, but if I’m going to…
Day 296 We drew with sidewalk chalk for a bit today. Juniper drew some flowers, and I drew a Master Sword which Flynn kept trying to pick up. His Zelda obsession makes me laugh. The kids like to check out our strawberry plant. There are a few growing, one should be ready any day now.…
Once I decided to go for it and put some designs on Spoonflower, I MAY have gotten a bit obsessed with the idea… A couple of lunch breaks and an hour or two after work later, I’ve got a nice little collection done! Oh my goodness, so much fun! I can’t wait to order a…
Bedtimes at our house are always horrible. I start having anxiety issues as soon as the sun starts to go down. Flynn is a dream. You say a prayer, sing a song, give him hugs and kisses (sometimes a million of each) and make sure he has his carrot, broccoli and a blanket and he’s…
Obsessing over… George Alexopoulos. Haha! Ok, that sounds a bit creeper, but I love his artwork!! And I just commissioned him to do a portrait of our family AND I AM SO STINKING EXCITED. His customs are so cute, I seriously can’t wait to see how he draws us. (And look at his Zelda figurines!…
Day 283 The kids love flipping through my watercolor sketch book. They get extra excited when they get to the pages with their own paintings on them. (You can see Flynn’s handiwork in the bottom right photo.) Day 284 Happy Fourth of July! We invited some friends over for some lunch and watery fun. The…
