Illustration Friday - Baby

(I'm not really sure what this image means. It just popped into my head when I read that the topic was 'Baby.' Any ideas?)

Taking the Step

My husband is going to play at an open mic this weekend at a local pub. He's played guitar for about 15 years but this will be his first time really playing in public. We're each slowly working towards our goals...very s l o w l y. We are big fans of The Tortoise and the Hare story.

Illustration Friday - Worry

She felt trapped by all of her worries. And didn't realize how close she was to being set free.


(This topic ended up being more fun than I thought it would be.)

The Rescue

It was time for her to rescue her heart from the depths. Luckily, she was a strong swimmer.

Illustration Friday - Wide

She was a dreamer. And the world opened wide in front of her-- full of possibility and hope.

Illustration Friday - Electricity

The magical glow of the coffee maker light...When the power goes out this is what I miss the most. I don't mind using candles and handwashing dishes-- but if the power is still out by the time I go to bed at night, I get anxious thinking of the next morning with no coffee to wake up to.

(This picture is pretty silly, and was probably not the best use of time to make it. But you know how it is when you get a picture in your head and you have to try it out-- just to see what it will look like? Well, now I know- Mr. Coffee doesn't make for the most dynamic imagery:)

Illustration Friday - Seed

Children are the seeds that will grow into our future. Tend them well.

This image is in honor of my son's preschool teachers and Sunday teacher. They put so much work and heart into helping the kids grow and learn.
