Last weekend we attended a wedding requiring “Formal Attire”.  This was for Lance’s brother.  Lance was lucky that he was in the wedding and so didn’t have to do much shopping to prepare for the event!  On the other hand, I have been very busy looking for dresses for both me and the Pink Ninja [...]

Tuesday (Feb 17th) was Oscar’s 1st Birthday!
I can’t believe it’s already been a year…er, ah…it’s only been a year?!?  *sigh* It’s been nice being able to embark on my new project working from home so that I can stay with him.  Plus, during the day is the best time to take baby pictures!  Natural daylight!
Here [...]

I just found this on eBay and had to share.  Someone has put up for auction on eBay this red paperclip.  At least I think it’s a paperclip…the picture is kinda blurry.  Only 99 cents!  Apparently, the seller is also sending along a “Mystery Gift”.  Well if the gift is as exciting as the paperclip, [...]

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my blog and left comments.  I’m so thrilled that my Orange Owl print was so well-liked by OWOH participants.  Overall my first time in OWOH has been a great experience.  I signed up a bit late so I did not get to visit every site before the deadline.  [...]

Illness has been making the rounds in our household.  I’ve been feeling sick ever since we had Alyssa’s birthday slumber party.  So I imagine that getting together 6 germy teenagers for the night was what did it.

Poor baby Oscar has been sickly too!
I have somehow mustered the energy to paint and have listed some new [...]

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays.  This will be baby Oscar’s first Halloween and my daughter’s (lucky number) 13th!  So a very special year for us indeed!  I painted a few of these ACEOs in honor of Halloween and they are currently available in my shop:

Halloween ACEOs!

This is not weird in the omg-I-can’t-believe-it sense. Just funny strange. In fact, I think I might get this as a playset for my baby Oscar when he’s a bit older

I was thinking that this would also make a great gift for someone to keep in their cubicle [...]

Now that Summer is almost officially over, I thought that I should take the time to show you around my garden a bit before it’s too late and everything fades away.
I planted flowers this Summer for the first time in many years. Since I left high school, I’ve moved from place to place about [...]

I found this jar of moldy pickles on eBay.  Which reminds me–I should probably clean out my refrigerator tomorrow.  I wonder how much I could get for that long-forgotten Tupperware container stuffed waaay in the back.

Lately I’ve been feeling frustrated trying to find enough time to paint, manage orders, and the million other little things I must do in order to grow my little cottage industry.  As you may know, I have two children–a teenage daughter and just had a baby 7 months ago.  The last couple months Oscar has [...]
