A few really neat things have happened on Instagram lately. First off, I was chosen by Jennifer from Jennuine Design sent me a copy of her new Haven Acres Mini Collection to try out. I’ve finished sewing the Dressage Leggings, and Juniper has declared them her “new favoritest pants ever”. Which didn’t surprise me at…
I started writing this post MONTHS ago. Hence the warm weather pictures… (I adore these photographs, by the way!) I need to start being more consistent with writing down the funny things these kids say. Because they crack me up on a daily basis and I want to remember as many tiny details as I…
I was just browsing through my post drafts and I realized I never shared this painting I did a couple of months ago. It is definitely one of my favorites! I had so much fun with the background. I want to do more paintings with detailed backgrounds… Heck, I just want to do more paintings,…
Last weekend I finally got up the courage to open my craft room door and start cleaning up the disaster waiting for me. It’s been bad before, but it was BAD. I don’t think a single thing in there was where it was supposed to be. Anyway, I suckered Shaun into helping me straighten up…
Last month I was introduced to the concept of inchies by a really fantastic artist named Alyssa Spencer. (Her Etsy shop is filled with the cutest things. I seriously adore her illustration style!) She was looking for people to swap with, so I started making some. I just packed up four little tiny paintings to…
Happy New Year! I’m not much of a ‘New Year’ girl. I’ve just never been into the whole thing. I was crazy super tired on New Year’s Eve, so I went to bed around 9 or so. And we spent our New Year’s Day eating Taco Bell and watching hours of anime on Netflix. (I…
The year we got married, my mother-in-law gave us a lovely heart-shaped ornament with one of our wedding photos in it. We’ve been adding new ornaments to our collection every year since then, and it has definitely become my favorite Christmas tradition. After 8 years, our tree is starting to fill up nicely. Just thinking…
I’ve pretty much finished up all of the artwork I sold last month. I have a few more people who are holding off on theirs for various reasons, but other than those I’m all finished! I’ve painted over 50 of these Doodle Portraits. CRAZY! I’ll be painting a handful more for Christmas presents, but I…
I meant to post these photos on Monday, but I’ve been crazy busy all week. I don’t understand how it is already Thursday… But we have fun weekend plans so I’m not complaining. (MY fun weekend plans mostly involve sleeping. I’m a big party girl.) On our way to church last Sunday it started snowing.…
A few months ago my husband had a dream where he was a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent. He sang a song with a big, buff, shirtless guy with dreadlocks and the lady from Sound of Music. Their amazing act had the whole audience going. And what song did they do? Imagine singing the Spiderman…
