Hello Old Friend

I did not think this post was going to be so hard to write! Which is just silly really. Basically, I want to say that I miss blogging and I’ve made it a goal to start writing on a regular basis again. There are LOTS of other things I want to say, but maybe those…

Vacation

This gif pretty much wraps up the trip we took to CT last week to visit my family. Lots of jumping and laughing. And swimming… LOTS of swimming. And also lots and lots of snuggling my new nephew! I’m going through some serious baby withdrawal right now. I want to drive all the way back…

Instagram Awesomeness

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…

Florida Trip

A couple of weeks ago we went to Florida to visit friends for a week. Well, it was supposed to be a week. But car trouble made it two weeks. (Really though, I can think of worse places to get stranded!) We got to spend a day at Disney and met Tinkerbell twice. (Flynn was…

Borededness

I shared an in-progress shot of this painting a couple of weeks ago, and I wasn’t happy with how it was turning out. I thought I should probably post the finished piece. I’m happy to say that I do like it now that it is done. Andrea of Little Fawn Photography recently posted the gifts…

Blogging Is Funny

BLOG. It’s even a funny word. I’ve got to admit that I have been rather conflicted about this “blog” of mine for a while now. I keep going back and forth between “what is the point, just delete it all and be done” and “if I just made the time to put a little effort…

29 Before 30

Last year I accomplished just a bit over 50% of my birthday goals. Which is kind of funny, because I honestly didn’t even look at the list after I wrote it up in January. I THINK I know where that paper ended up, but I’m not quite sure. This year I’m going to hang it…

Birthday Weekend

I have been not-quite-sick-but-super-cruddy-feeling for the past two weeks. I’ll feel fine all day, and then around dinner time all of a sudden I’ll get super congested and tired. It’s been annoying. Last Thursday night my throat started bugging me and I lost my voice. Once again though, I felt fine on Friday and ended…

December via Instagram

Happy New Year! Right now I am either still asleep or cleaning up my art room in preparation for this Friday’s 2nd Annual Birthday Crafty Night. (Probably still sleeping. Yay for days off!) I am not much of a “New Year’s” person, but I DO love me a good birthday. So I suppose I can…

November via Instagram

How is it already December 10?? November was a blur. I didn’t even really realize it was December until last Thursday. You know what else I missed? The one year anniversary of my first watercolor! It’s been a year since I’ve started painting these silly portraits and I’m so grateful for all of the opportunities…
