For the last month or so, my main priority for decorating the living room has been to find throw blankets and pillows that I like that will go with my new color scheme/look for the room. I haven’t had a lot of luck. I’ve found LOTS of pillows online that I love/want but they’re mostly…
At the Threefoot Arts Festival in November 2008, I discovered some great artists, including Charles Crossley, Robert Holleman, and Windham’s Woodworks who all returned for the Spring show this April. But this time there were a couple new artists worth mentioning! First of all… gorgeous day, good crowd, and lots of booths. There was a…
Things are a-changing… Not TOO much. I mean, I’ll still have my blog with the recipes and stick my dog in your face now and then, I’ll still have the garden updates and illustrations, military cards, etc. But my fruit houses? gone. This lavendarishbluish-spring-green color scheme? Gone. Bigcartel shop? Gone. I’ve made a new logo,…
His job: Student naval aviator (advanced – tailhook), just finished a bunch of formation flights. The first plane in the movie is being flown by him. My job: Illustration and teaching kids. In one word? “Coloring” sums it up pretty well (of course I do other things too). This is what I did at work…
We just got home from our SC trip, and had a pile of mail! We actually had the post office hold it while we were gone, but deliver it yesterday so we’d have it when we came home. It was so much stuff they actually left it for us in a postal service crate thingy….
I’m not feeling very generous, so the subtitle of this post is “OR How to Freeze your Butt off at the Crappiest Show Ever.” I’m sorry, but… yeah. I was all excited even though I wasn’t feeling so hot, because this show was advertised much more than the other shows I’ve done here were… plus,…
I was going to write you a nice post about chocolate chip pancakes tonight, but I seem to have come down with a cold of some sort, so I’ll be going to bed soon. Unfortunately, tomorrow I can’t spend the day sipping soup and reading in bed… I have a craft show. Merry Meridian Market…
I don’t think I new what a bunting was called until last year or so… I just thought “string of flags” or “pennants” or something. But a bunting it is, and it’s cute as anything. I made this bunting as a holiday decoration, and rather than sticking with red and green (not my fave, really),…
Check it out. I have cards with aviator wings on them, for Navy and Marines… great for winging announcements, invitations, thank-yous, or general notes. Also, emblems/insignia/whatever you want to call them. The Naval officers’ crest, and the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor for Marines. Patches for the squadrons here at the great NAS Meridian, MS. VT-7…
These are non-themed cards that are going to be great for “Welcome to the base” notes for your new neighbors, thank you notes for winging gifts, quick letters to let your family know how training is going, invitations to events or parties, or just about anything you can think of. I’m starting out with: “Wings…
I’ve got to say… after a couple mostly disappointing craft shows, my open house was insanely refreshing! As much as I prepped and set up for this, it was much less stressful than a show… I didn’t have to pack my things into boxes and shove them in the car at 6 in the morning…
