New Painting


Its been a little bit since my last post..yikes! Too much to do in a day. Well the kids are back in school...yay! I love my boys to death but its nice to get a break during the day. Gavin goes to Pre K now. He goes from noon to 3pm. 3 hours is a great start. He loves it! Which makes me feel better! There are days where I miss my little peanut and there are days where I get things done or just sit and enjoy the silence.
Well Ive been painting alot lately. It feels good to get my brushes to work. Recently I tried out 'Miniature painting'. Its painting on a pretty small piece of 2.5"x3.5" linen canvas card. Roughly the size of a baseball card. My first piece turned out lovely! I plan on painting more Miniatures in the future. Here is my Miniature. I call it '...she loves me.'

Gotta luv those bunnies! : ) Im working on another Bunny piece at the moment. More of a fantasy type painting. Ill post it as soon as Im finished.

I have also made an online shop for some of my creations to be sold. http://www.sugarplumdreams.artfire.com/
Right now I only have 2 items listed. My halloween eggs and an adorable bunny plaque. I also have them in my studio for people to see. I have made 4 sets of the Halloween eggs for customers. The one that is listed is my last set. Those were a hit! Id like to get some prints made to sell also. BUT we need a new printer. Ugh! Ours is really on its last leg. Im begging the hubby for an Epson Artisan!! Cross your fingers! Ive heard great things about the printer/scanner!
Looks like another gloomy day. Our Fall hasnt been the best but I still love Fall! Its my favorite season! I have all the Halloween decor up. And my seasonal tree is all dressed up in Halloween! Luv it! Well I gotta get so until next time.....Enjoy the Fall! : )

Scarecrows and Birthdays...

I finally finished a Fall painting project that Ive been working on here and there. I am quite pleased with it. It's a design by Renee Mullins. Her designs are very cute! I painted it on a small wooden sewing table and wrapped a berry garland around it. : ) Here are a couple of pics. I really NEED to get a new camera! A step up from the one I have would be nice ; )




Yesterday was my oldest sons' Birthday!! He is now 11 years old! Wow! Where does the time go!? People would ask me if I feel old...I don't. If anything I feel sad. : ( It's just another year closer to my babies leaving the nest. There are days where I actually look forward to them moving on to being their own person...but there are more days where I just want them here forever. : ( 11 years old!! We are going to take them to Chuck E Cheese tomorrow. Shhh...they dont know that though! ; )

I did a little Blog remodeling! I love it! It's perfect! I just need to finish my 'About' page and a few other odds and ends. So now that Iv efinished my last painting project I'm starting my next. I will be designing and painting a 'Bunny Collection'! I'm excited about this one! It's been on the drawing board forever! I wanted to finish everything else up before I went any farther with it. Speaking of 'bunnies'! ; ) I ran into a new Twitter Artist friend who is also working on Rabbits! Check out Melody!
Before I go...here is a pic of the birthday boy! 11 years old! P.S~ He wont let me cut his hair! lol! "It's the style of today mom!"
