I'm thrilled to report that my first craft show was a huge success (though this photo clearly wasn't). My helper monkey Jen was there for moral support and ended up being a great salesgirl too. It was much easier for her to say things like, "This one's my favorite! And no, I'm not the artist".… Continue reading Craft Show Success
I've been insanely busy this week trying to get everything ready for my very first craft fair, the "We've Fallen For Etsy" sale. It takes place this Sunday, so if you're in Vancouver please stop by and say hello! Cambrian Welsh Hall 215 E 17th Ave Sunday November 23rd 11am - 5pm
Do I have the sweetest bee boy or what? I was so sick after (& during) Halloween that I completely forgot to upload my pics. I'm lucky to have a pug sweet enough to indulge his momma's desire to see him dressed in costumes. I don't do this regularly, but for one night a year… Continue reading Bee Boy
When the chill returns to the air and evenings are marked by firing up the fireplace, you'll often find me curled up on the couch with a good book and cuddly pug. Though I've been painting and sketching more than reading lately, I must have books on the brain because this theme has popped up… Continue reading Must Be Fall
John and I got to see Louis CK's stand-up show at one of Vancouver's oldest theatres, the Vogue, on Friday night. The show was fantastic; he was as funny, edgy & off-color as ever, the crowd was great and he even came back out to do an encore that reinforced what I love about his… Continue reading Everything’s Amazing
Phew! I had an insanely busy, but productive few days completing 3 new paintings, starting on a few other ones and testing out a new process. I usually work on one painting at a time, start to finish. This week I tried sketching out some ideas, picking 3 I wanted to work on and then… Continue reading Zooooommmm!
Yay! I picked up my Christmas cards from the printer yesterday and am thrilled with how well they turned out. They're blank inside so you're free to add your own personal message. I'm planning to use them for the holidays, but I think this foxy gal would make for sweet correspondence all winter long. Click… Continue reading Christmas Cards are in!
I have lots of things I want to share with you, but I've been so sick for the last week (10 days?) that I've had absolutely no energy to do anything. I don't think I've ever been sick for this long before. I keep coughing and coughing and coughing. I finally lost my voice this… Continue reading *sniffle*
The new painting I finished this week has become the face of this year's Christmas cards. Sorry for the spoiler, family! They're off at the printers now, but once I get them I'll be adding a few sets to my Etsy shop for anyone else who wants a girl with a foxy hat gracing their… Continue reading Christmas Cards Are On Their Way!
I felt like a rock star yesterday I got so much done. I got up early & got started on a new painting after finishing my usual check email/put out immediate fires routine. I took the dogs for a good long walk on the trails, stopped for groceries on the way home (which is a… Continue reading The Painting From Hell
