studio progress

the office studio corner of the room is set up
The walls are painted. Furniture is moved in. Artwork is hung. Bookshelves filled. Desks set up. 

I am very excited.

three painting my sister did are the centerpiece of the room - i love the color
the little ducky I got for my birthday peaks down from the bookshelf
a basket for sketchbooks, pencils and markers - another basket for painting supplies
bookshelf and my little cow creamer jar
office setup - organized and convenient
another one of Amy's paintings I turned into a key holder <3
It is still very much a work in progress, mudroom shelving to be painted and organized, another storage cabinet for craft and office supplies, moving the cat crate outside (a few more weeks it will be warm enough,) setting up the pot and pan wall. This corner is finished though, and I love it. There are two desks, one with the computer and office stuff, and another with art supplies. Everything I need is handy, and organized. I love the way the bookshelf looks in this big room. I feel inspired and excited to be in this space. I expect a lot of painting, drawing, exercising, yoga, blog work, and much much more in this room. Plus, since the rooms are connected, it means the kitchen, hallway (gallery) and laundry room (still to be painted) all got freshened up as well. The gallery:
 



 The house is so warm and inviting to walk into now. 
More to come, as I get things finished.

Until next time,

real snow - the morning chores

When I woke up at 7 this morning it was still dark outside, but I could see that it was only a dusting on the driveway. Sigh. I fixed a cup of coffee, turned on the little heater in the bathroom, and got ready for work. Twenty minutes later when I came back into the bedroom it was a bit brighter outside, with a lot more snow. It was coming down hard too. We went outside and took care of the animals. The rabbits seem just fine in their new fixed up cages. The ducks, always impervious, swam and splashed about in their water bowl for a solid thirty minutes before retreating to the fresh hay in their crate to warm their feet. Not for long though, I can see them back out there now. Since I moved the fence yesterday I can see them perfectly from my bedroom window. It makes me smile. I'm glad that it snowed enough, early enough, that we could call into work. Snow day! The dogs are a trip to watch in the snow. Playful as ever, they run around kicking it up, eating it o...

the good, the bad, and the embarrassing

Our first week and a half on the farm have not been uneventful by any means. In fact, tonight on the ride home I said to the Universe (or more accurately Jonathan, since that's who heard me) "thanks for all the tests you've been throwing at us lately, but that's enough for now, please?" We expected some hard times and lots of hard work, but we weren't ready for random mishaps and accidents that would set us back so soon in the change. Bad things that have happened since we arrived: Jonathan gets a tick and the head is stuck in his back. It's been a week now and I think it's all worked out, but I was really scared. We get locked out of the Jeep, and it's $120 for a locksmith to come unlock it. We have snatched Zaphod (our kitty) off of upstairs windowsills about five times. I smacked myself in the forehead with a knife (apparently I missed the day in class when they tought you basic knife-holding skills.) It was just a little cut, mainly my ego ...

introducing... me.

At long last, I'd like to show you a little bit of my artwork. It's not the greatest, and I'm usually inspired by a particular artist when I paint, and I will always try to give credit for my inspiration. This first set of paintings were inspired by Nastasha Wescoat, a beautiful self-taught artist from Michigan. Her whimsical trees, kitties, and birdies are breath-taking, and also the inspiration for my next tattoo, which I am treating myself to for my birthday next week (and I am so excited!) You can see more of here artwork here. So, here goes. Enjoy. One final piece, not fitting with the rest, but I spent three hours on it last night, and I wanted to share. Until next time.
