Oh Jane…

There are a few things in life that I adore. My treasures (jewels, bags and shoes) My art supplies My books …I don’t read as much as I would want to, but I love to read. Through a fellow blogger, I discovered this delightful website that illustrates wonderful moments out of Pride and Prejudice. The…

Week 14 Begins…as I Slowly Grow

So week 14 is here. Some books say I have been in my second trimester for a week…others say its now…whatever…I feel great! I am growing and my regular clothes are shrinking. Here are some sketches from the past two days. Yesterday I had my first board meeting for the Florida Film Institute, so I…

What a Weekend!

What a nice weekend! Full of family and friends….which meant a lot of fun outfits, that I actually took the time to draw today. Saturday we went to an interactive lunch at the Biltmore Hotel with celebrity chef, Michelle Bernstein of Michy’s Restaurant. The lunch was an appetizer of shrimp on toast and then the…

Fantastic Friday!

Well Happy Friday! Another week has gone by and I got creative with my “normal” wardrobe and mixed it up a bit with maternity. The best was a surprise gift in the mail from my friend and fellow art aficionado, Mary Michael. She sent me a belated birthday gift a silver ring with a C…

It’s been an interesting and wonderful journey thus far…and I haven’t been sketching as much or writing as much because all I want to write about is this! My little peanut! We’ll know if peanut will be…

I want to thank Summer in Newport for giving me the Honest Scrap Award. I haven’t been sketching a lot recently because I’ve been really distracted…so this is perfect! Here are the rules.

Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Cash Register…

So there we were, my mom and I…innocently waiting in line at the Old Navy in Downtown Dadeland this afternoon, when the ever present credit card pusher started walking up and down the line asking people in Spanish if we wanted to take advantage of the 20% discount.
