Shop Update
I added a few new pieces of art to the shop this morning! Here is one of my very favorites… I was experimenting using stain instead of paint (for the map) and, luckily, I love how it turned out. I want to try using stain as a painting method again. It’s so much fun […]
Business Update {going out on a limb}
My artwork business has been growing and evolving over the past few years. What started out as a hobby and little side business for me has evolved into much more than I ever imagined. It has been a way for me to be creative and have fun with my art while staying home with our […]
Morning Light
I was noticing the pretty morning light around the house this morning… Thankful for the last few days of summertime, a hard working husband by my side, the chatter of kids playing house, and mercies that are new every morning. Good morning friends!
Adding Color
Even though I am a neutral-loving girl and am always drawn toward white spaces, I’ve been craving some color in my kitchen this summer. So, I finally did something about it. My sweet friend Wanda gave me this little table that she had painted and didn’t know what to do with. It fit perfectly in […]
Kohls Back To School Shopping
Several weeks ago Kohls contacted me and asked if I’d like to participate in their Back To School campaign. I’ve found some really great things there like the dress in this post. I especially like the Lauren Conrad collection. SO, when they offered to send me a gift card for $500 for back-to-school clothes, I […]

Some new signs
I’ve added some more ready-made signs to the shop. It’s been so much fun using some really unique old wood that we found recently. The signs have so much character! You can find them in my shop. And here are a few that got sent out to customers recently. They were some of my […]
Vacation
Last Tuesday through Sunday we went on our first EVER family vacation. We stayed at my parents’ house by the bay in Delaware. And it was SO GOOD. At the risk of sounding completely boring, I’m not really a vacation person. Honestly, I LOVE to work. I love routine. I love being home. So taking […]
Ready-to-Ship Signs
Happy Friday! I have quite a few ready-made signs available in the shop right now, and I’ll be adding more each week. I’m so excited to have signs available that are ready to ship! Here are a few of my favorites… The “Awake My Soul” sign was made from the lid to an old ammunition […]
Summertime Goodness
Summer has been good to us. It hasn’t necessarily been laid-back or without lots of work to do. But it’s been really good. Violet is my “helper” (huge quotation marks around that one) and likes to be by my side most of the day. Summer has included catching fireflies, birds, and baby grasshoppers. We are […]
Website Re-design
Happy Monday! I’m so excited to share my newly re-designed website! After months of working on it, it is finally DONE. It’ll make shopping for my artwork so much easier and it looks prettier too (which is the most important part, right??). Many thanks to Michelle Walls from Italian Lane Photography for the beautiful photos […]
It’s the Little Things
Pet birds. Oh, how these little black birds caused a stir with the kids. The birds fell out of their nest from a tree in the back yard and couldn’t fly yet, so the kids mothered them. They dug for worms and fed them all day long. I think it’ll be the highlight of Avery’s […]
