Stuff on a Monday

A couple nights ago I was in my art studio, sketching away on my new holiday card design, sipping a hot chai latte, munching on pumpkin pie &.......watching Project Runway!!!! I have been doing SUPER without television, but I thought I'd treat myself to the final 3 episodes on my computer. Here's a peek at a work in progress... I've been painting away with my watercolors & am happy with how it's turning out. A couple more kinks to work out & then it'll be ready for printing! Remember: the big reveal for my annual holiday card & ornament will be Nov. 1st!!

I just heard my girls upstairs playing. They are pretending to be "Red Riding Hood" & "The Big Bad Wolf". So, my 4 year old (who seems to be playing the part of Red Riding Hood from what I can hear), "knocks" on the door to grandma's house--where The Big Bad Wolf (played by her 6 year old sis) is hiding out. The wolf answers the knock with a high-pitched, part granny/part wolf voice, asking: "You wanna piece of meeeeeee????" HAHAHAHA! Is this what "no T.V." has turned them into? If I get gangster-style nursery rhyme productions.....then bring it on!!!! That's awesome.

Just thought I'd stop by for a quick hello! I'm off to prepare my house for a load of lovely people this evening. 13 to be exact!! (In my WEE house too!) Every Monday--starting today--I'll be cooking din-din for a group of guys that belong to a local Teen Challenge center + my family + other friends. And my Etsy shop is fully helping to fund the dinners!! I'm SO excited! Just a casual evening of hanging out, eating yummy food & chillin'. We're having a potato bar. I'm sure there'll be pics in following posts! Those guys won't know what hit 'em when I pull out my camera for a close-up of their potatoes!! HAHA!


Happy Monday!

Fall is Upon Us. Let Us Celebrate.


I don't know why, but I think Fall is my favorite season. Well, wait. I DO know why. It is crisp & refreshing & the chill is in the air. And I know sweaters are coming soon. I love bundled moments in comfy blankets. Sips of hot tea, hot chocolate, hot cider. Hay rides, autumn leaves, cold pink cheeks. Pumpkin patches, my dad's heavy flannel plaid shirts. Warm scents & yummy eats......

I just listed a blank greeting card in WhiMSy love that says all these things to me. It is the first of my novice photographs that I've ever created something from. I hope you like it!

The first day of Fall is September 23rd. I always celebrate this day, & look forward to its arrival. I find some way to say "Hi Autumn!", whether it's a walk to look at the changing leaves & to feel the fresh air......or, by making some leafy crafty thing-a-ma-bob with my girls.......or any other way I feel is appropriate to welcome my favorite season.

Fall is upon us. Find a way to celebrate.
