Finally!  Some new flowers have bloomed in my garden. Made a little bouquet to bring as a hosting gift at a friend’s barbeque last night.

Surtex 2011

May 6th, 2011

 

It’s now been a bit over a year working with PinkLight Design and I am very excited! My first ad on Print and Pattern made it onto the blog today. I have kept in my mind that ever since I found P&P that I would love to be in a post. Step one as a promo, step two as a featured artist? I will have to work hard to make that happen! Surrounded by amazingly talented artists at PinkLight and P&P I am really inspired to work extra hard at improving! I have learned so much every day this last year–I can’t wait to improve and grow as an artist and as a business person!  Every day I can see an improvement and it is so encouraging. I’ve learned in life that for me, trying new things takes tenacity, discipline, drive, humblepie
and a heaping dose of confidence to reach your goals!

I finally began posting my little illustrations on Etsy. Between working part time working for PinkLight Design, Heidi Grace Designs, freelancing and becoming a Certified Zumba Instructor, I managed to take a year to just get started on my site! It still needs a little work and I have TONS more to post! Please stay tuned, I have some great prints and originals coming your way!!!!

Yellow…are you there?

May 3rd, 2011
I’ve been having lots of lemon thoughts this year. Loving yellow and all the sunshine it brings.
Here in Seattle there is not a lot of sunshiny days, so why not add a splash of yellow to cheer myself up?

I looked around on Etsy and found these Fun Vintage drinking glassess from  rustycow.

I remembered my cute little lemon cupcake illustration from my summer birthday collection (available through pinklight design)

 

 

 

Then a dragged out my vintage find last fall. One of a very few vintage shopping trips I took in Georgetown just South of Seattle. My heart started racing when I thought someone else was going to buy it. AKA, no more shopping trips in Georgetown. I walked away with a very pricey little vintage ceramic pottery that sits in my guest room. But guess what? I still love it! It make me smile!!!

Finally, I put together a little collection of lemon inspired patterns for Surtex 2011 available through Pink Light Designs. Cute yes?

April 9th we had the pleasure of visiting this stunning garden reserve on Bainbridge Island in Seattle.

Pix above are just a few of my favorites. I’d love to go back and see it in full bloom!
