I hope the sun is shining

Next Saturday this is where I will be. So if you happen to be cruising around South Surrey stop by and say hello. I am looking forward to spending the day with some other wonderful local artists doing work for kids. It is great opportunity to sell what I love doing, but also talk to and learn from others who have the same passion.

I have been busy drawing, painting, printing and sewing. I am really exciting about all the new printed pillows and canvasses and all the other art pieces I have been creating.

While he worked, I walked

And bought a few things along the way.

Fabric from the Purl Bee. A couple of goodies from one of my favorite artists Rob Ryan. And banks for the kids from the MOMA gift shop.

Last week I tagged along with my husband to NYC. Four evenings away from the kids! He worked the whole time but it felt like a vacation to me. We were able to spend some wonderful time together here and there like spur of the moment cocktails at 10:30pm and lying in bed reading the paper and having a coffee in the middle of the day, but I also truly enjoyed the time to myself. It was our first time away from the kids together- and we survived. And they survived and had a wonderful time with Nana and Papa. We will have to do it again soon when Clete can relax and enjoy himself.

Ahhhh.... it is nice to be back.

It is nice to be back into the groove of things again. Between looking after little O + S, doing renovations, and painting murals, I have found it difficult to do things that should be simple like fold laundry (actually putting the clothes away is a whole other story) and more importantly check emails and do new postings.

I have got to hand it to you full time working moms- how do you do it!

So the next couple of posts will make up for the many weeks missed.

My most recent job. Painting a mural for some wonderful clients.

Some of the preliminary sketches

And some of the completed room.
