Moving on to a new blog...

Please come visit me at my new blog-- pretty day.

Thanks!

Illustration Friday - Contagious

Joy is contagious! Spread it whenever you can!

This will probably be my last post on Paper Pictures. My new blog is pretty day. I'm doing a lot more sewing and fabric art now, so Paper Pictures doesn't quite fit anymore. And pretty day will fit more with my new Etsy shop (which is coming soon, but is sure taking a lot of work to get it all up and running!)

Songbird

My husband made it to the next level in a local songwriting contest. Now he's madly trying to write another song before the semifinals. More late nights ahead...

House of Love

My friend recently commissioned me to make a set of tea towels for a bridal shower gift for her co-worker. (This is one of them.) I was honored that she asked me and it was really fun to make them. I hope their home will be blessed with joy and love!

Speaking of homes, ours has been a whirlwind of activity lately! My husband is busy working on his songwriting and I'm trying to set up an etsy site to sell my art. So now we are both staying up too late and filling the house with scraps of paper.

Illustration Friday - Poise

When she's out in nature, she always feels full of beauty and poise.

The Search

She wasn't sure what she was looking for, but she set off anyway.

Illustration Friday - Subtract

Subtract the clouds and rain-- and spring is here!

Happy first week of spring!

A Lucky Star

Last night we saw a shooting star-- it has been so long since I've seen one! I guess I haven't been getting out enough at night. It was especially nice because we saw it when coming home from a local pub where my husband sat in with the band and sang a few songs. (A first for him!) Everyone was so nice, we stayed out too late, and then got to see this beautiful shooting star.
