Sun! Flowers! Spring. I think it's finally here! Yay! Blue skies! This made Chloe very happy. We got out and played with her ball and even went for two walks! It sure does feel nice to have the sun shine on your face. With all this nice weather, it was really hard staying inside and working. But, I did it! I drew and...
I painted this while listening to the rest of the S Town podcast yesterday. If you haven't listened to it yet, I highly recommend you do so. It takes a couple of different turns during the 7 episode story. I thought it was going to go in one direction, then another, and ultimately it goes on to something that I wasn't expecting. It's...
Chloe likes any day of the week. She don't care. Tuesday is our Monday and this morning Chloe was ready to get to work, but sadly I was not. Regardless, here I am plugging away at new image sheets, editing a new card design, shipping out orders and relisting some inactive items on Etsy. New card! This is my newest card design that...
Today is a big day for American health insurance. By the time I publish this I think there will be a vote on whether the new American Health Care Act will go through. As a self employed person, the Affordable Health Care act is vital for me, as well as many of my other self employed friends. I don't have an employer to...
I'm posting this photo so you can see the effects of what working from home can do to a persons sense of what's okay to wear when no one is around. I happened to be washing my hands in the bathroom, before heading out to the garage to paint, when I glanced up and realized just what I was wearing. I am so...
Well, the weekend is over and it's time for another work week. The sun actually came out on Sunday and I was able to get out in the yard to do some work! It's been so rainy I almost forgot what it was like to be out in the sunshine. Clearing out dead leaves, smelling dirt and fresh compost and being in the...
Working on some small paintings for my shop in 2007. I still don't believe that I've been an Etsy seller for 10 years. My friend Angie told me about Etsy and that I should put a few things up on the site. She thought my work would be perfect for it. I was really doubtful. My first sale on Etsy. Looking back on...
Clogs, clogs, clogs, puppy. It's been raining for weeks. Not days, weeks. I take that back. We've had two kind of sunny days this past week. Regardless, I needed a little pick me up from all the grey so I bought myself some clogs on Etsy from Apricot Vintage. They were just what I needed. Cute, affordable and sent right to my door....
Hello! It's me. I've been away. I feel like I had to take a break from the internet for awhile. Plus, I've just been really busy with painting and custom work. But, here I am. Alive and doing somewhat ok. I got a new "tooth." It's more like a retainer with a tooth where my missing tooth is. I very much dislike it....
