Art Update
I am always working on art for other people and never seem to make time for art for my family. I usually keep a couple paintings here and there Josh likes but overall I tend to create for my shop. My sister was working on a painting of Zoe which made me realize I have been putting off her portrait for over a year now. I normally freehand portraits but I always have trouble with Zoe so I graphed...
Swim Lessons
So I clearly need to have more faith in my daughter. I thought she would panic at her first swim lesson and she did amazingly well. You would have thought she had taken the class a couple times before. I guess all that time in her grandparents pool has paid off.

Some New Products and a Chance at a Free Print!
So lets start with new product. I have been hard at work packaging up some postcards for my shop. I have ordered some stickers to seal up the boxes of postcards to give them that extra cuteness and they should arrive any day now. The postcards listed are limited in number but I have 800 additional postcards coming in other designs. They unfortunately will not be available until mid March most...
Buttons are Back!
So I have been working really hard on getting my store stocked up. Between Pivot and the baby it was being heavily neglected. I have changed the paper I used on my prints and am putting mu old stock on clearance. The Clearance prints are hot so grab them up while you can! I listed button sets today which look super cute. I also ordered postcards and some fanc packaging for them but they will...
Happy Valentines Day
So this post comes a little late but I spent so much time enjoing my Valentines Day I just now have had time to post. Zoe had a special party at pre-school that her and I made valentines together for her classmates. She had lots of sugar and loved getting a card from all the other kids.
Now onto my romantic Valentine Surprise. My sweet and amazing husband wanted to do something special for...
Health Insurance in America
So I want to talk about something that I find very disappointing. First I want to say I love this country. So many times people think if you have an opinion about something you dislike in this country it means you are unpatriotic. Quite the opposite is true in my opinion. Had Lincoln not questioned and had issue with slavery would we be the country we are today? With that out of the way let me...
More Shape Based Paintings...
Here are the other 4 of the first 8 shape based animal paintings I posted about yesterday. I think I like the first 4 better than these but you can’t love everything you create. The originals and prints of these are available in the shop as well. If you get them while on sale you get a free print so hurry over for a great deal.
New Shape Based Paintings
With expecting a baby I have been working on some artwork for the girls room. I asked Zoe what she would like to see in her room for paintings and being the animal lover she is she decided she wanted a giraffe and an elephant. In addition to painting those for her I painted a monkey for Brayden’s room. The paintings were very simple and are what I call shape based paintings. Josh just...
Coraline is Fabulous!
So today I took both the kids to see Coraline. This was very intimidating considering the last time I attempted to take both the children to see a movie by myself it ended with us leaving half way through and temper tantrums all the way to the car. In addition the last time I took them I was not pregnant so being 8 months along I was a bit worried I would not be able to handle any outbursts....
Shopping and Crafting on the Home Front
With Baby Ella growing in my tummy by leaps and bounds I spend a lot of time in my recliner these days to reduce the pressure. Part of being in my chair so much is that a lot of crafting is getting done! I am working on a new hat for Josh, a scarf for Brayden, and a cacoon for the baby. I just finished Zoe’s scarf which is below. She wants to wear it around the house and now Josh wants a...
