I know that it has been awhile since I have posted on here. Nine months, roughly. But, I have had the best reason to be away. For most of this year, my husband and I were expecting our third child, and two weeks ago, we were made to be the luckiest parents of another little girl. We have been blessed to have two amazing children already and now can count our blessings once more. As 2017 comes to an end, I am grateful for all that the year has brought me, especially my complete family of five. I have no doubt that 2018 will bring great things and hope to be able to share more of this past year's projects, as well as the things that I take on in the coming year. Happy New Year, everyone!
Here we are now, into June and nearly halfway into the first year of a new decade! It has been a challenging year for everyone, but I wanted to take a moment to celebrate the accomplishments of this year. Happy Graduation to the Class of 2020! Congratulations to everyone who has a milestone to celebrate. You've worked hard and deserve a pat on the back. I created these owls last year for my daughter's Pre-K class in a different hat color for each child; seventeen kids total. It was so fulfilling to pass along something to celebrate their first major accomplishment. I offer these owls in my shop year round, so if you have something to celebrate, send my a message and I would be happy to make something for you to order!
Though this may be my first post of 2018, after spending all of this year as a mom of three little ones, I have been surprisingly productive in making art. Starting with this post I'll be taking some time to share this year of my life in art. My first major creation of 2018 was a birthday gift for my mother. It is a window box filled with 66 pansies, her favorite flower, all made out of paper and wire. I made each flower to be unique, and hand colored each face. I wanted her to have blooms to enjoy year round and am very happy with the results.
