Post-It Note Art

Sometimes inspiration hits you…and all you have around are mini post-it notes (I blame Pinterest!) and ballpoint pens. Wouldn’t these be great paintings? Happy Tuesday!

Pinterest (*swoon)

So I finally did it. I joined Pinterest and oh my! It’s amazing! Really and truly …I have been a user of Tumblr for 2 years now—but this takes that to another level. Here I can organize my images into groups so I can not only categorize…but I can actually find! Pinterest is like Tumblr’s…

Thursday Threads: Scarves

I love a good scarf (I’m wearing one today). Here’s the thing about a scarf… 1. They keep you snug as a bug 2. They can make a plain ensemble POP! 3. They are easy to throw on 4. You can wear them in so many ways 5. Regardless of what your waist is doing—…

Wardrobe Wednesday: Shades of Blue

Good Wednesday! I hope you are having a lovely week…it is hot and steamy in Miami–but no hurricanes for us (in more ways than one-ba-dum-ching) and that is a good thing! Anyhow, here is today’s Wednesday Wardrobe. A lot of blue with a splash of yellow. I knew I was going to be doing teacher…

Bon Fete

It is hard to believe but in 3 short months babykins will be 1! Amazing. So…the anal planner in me is thinking party themes (notice one of my Pinterest boards). I have been a fan of bunting for a while, even thought about putting some sweet bunting in babykins‘ room…and now with her party in…

Hoot Hoot Owl

Greetings and happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend. I had quite a productive weekend myself. When babykins wasn’t crawling or pulling herself up in my direction, I was sketching a lot. This owl is one of my favorite additions to my sketchbook. I’m sketching a lot because I had the grand idea…

Emma C’est Fini

Last night I finished Emma’s E. I made the “E” rose metallic, and I think it will look nice next to her sister’s “M”. Now to ship it to its new home in Virginia! Hope Emma and the family enjoy the painting.

Thursday Threads: Minor Details

Minor details…sometimes that is all that it takes to take something from pretty to stunning. From plain to extraordinary. Details. They are all around you— and you should always pay attention. Here are two items which I would gladly add to my repertoire just for the small details they have. This watch is another fabulous…

Wednesday Wardrobe: Hot Summer Days

Happy Hump Day! It was hot (about 94 degrees) and swampy (about 100000% humidity). Gross! However I went to lunch with a new friend from the Miami Art Museum…so I wanted to be dressed for where ever lunch and our appetites may take us. Above you will see my ensemble for this VERY rainy day….

Henry’s Whale

You may remember about a month ago I painted a whale in a new size (Biggest). The baby’s name was always hidden because mom and dad had not gone public with it. Henry is now not only a public name…but he’s made his appearance in person! Here is a look at Henry’s Whale. Isn’t this…
