just so you know...



Pictured in my newly watermelon pink studio / office / sunroom

It's not all poop all the time around here :)

I just finished a pretty painting for my twin baby nieces-in-law twice removed (or something like that). I love the colors, they are based on a swatch of fabric from their bedding. This was supposed to be finished when they were born, but looks like it will get there just in time for their first birthday. 

I can't believe Miss E. is so grown up already!

It is a lot like the painting I made for little Emma, so this is now officially a series! I have been really wanting to get back into artistic pursuits in the last year. It is a challenge, I do creative work all day at work, but I don't really consider it my personal work. It has been fun doing something messy and hands on, away from the computer. I have new series in my head that I hope to get going on now that this one is off my easel. Maybe by saying it here you will all hold me accountable and bug me about it so I'll get to work! Until that gets annoying and I politely ask you to mind your own biz.

I think of you every time I look at Emma's and I am so amazed with your talent! I love the pink and green one too! I am sure that the twins will love it as much as we do.

I love it! Love. The pink is fantastic, as well. I wonder if I could convince Andrew to let me paint our office watermelon pink???
