Morning Fog

Well we're back from our Disney adventure.  Fun was had by all but it's always nice to come back
home.  This morning it was particularly enjoyable.  We live 3 blocks from the Missouri River.  There is a  park with trails I run on in the morning.  Today it was crisp, foggy & beautiful!  (I love the fog, makes everything look so dreamy & mysterious.)

Birthday Boy

We are heading out tomorrow to take Luca to Disney World.  He will be 5 on Thursday & I can hardly believe how quickly he is growing up.  Seems just like yesterday I thought he was never coming out. (he was 15 days over due...)  We so enjoy watching his interest change, listening to him tell us stories, teaching him new things & well pretty much everything else about him! (said like a mom, right?)  Today I'm showing some birthday art I made years ago.  Enjoy & Happy Birthday to all you Virgos.

(* thought he was going to be a leo like me but, alas he was a couple minutes late)

Happy Little Friday

Do you remember Bob Ross?  I do & when I found this funny little finger puppet on Etsy I laughed (I need to look it back up so I can credit the artist here...)  I remember Saturday's around 11 am being glued to PBS watching The Joy of Painting.  His relaxing voice, his happy little trees, his occasional oval shaped canvas, (even as a child I knew fancy yet wrong) The accepting voice of support that it's all OK. WOW Love him! Sometimes he would bring his son (an adult) on & they would paint together.  Oh, Bob Ross I miss you!

What a World Quilt

I'm currently wrapping up my second fabric collection with P & B Textiles. (available this fall)  I've enjoyed seeing some of the beautiful things people have made.  Antonio recently found this blog http://tiptoetango.com/2012/06/13/what-a-world-featuring-leo-the-lion/

She made a colorful, fun quilt for her son using the What a World fabric.  Take a look. I can't wait to see what people create with the next collection!

Fab Fabric

With all eyes on London lately I wanted to share this really cool vintage fabric.  My friend Gigi collects all sorts of things.  One of them being vintage fabric.  She has bins & baskets full of this kind of eye candy.  I particularly loved these quirky British characters & the fun limited color.  So much variety & humor in this fabric.  Hope you are as charmed as I am with it.

Spotted

While at Target over the weekend I spotted some of my art.  First it's my number print on the car seat.  Next it's the Circo neutral crib set.  This was on display & looked great out of the package.  So fun to walk the store & stumble upon your art.
