New Art!

Ok... so I have been busy! It seems like when I have one idea, at least two will follow suit! I suppose it only makes sense that when I am "inspirationly" lacking I am REALLY lacking. :) It is all a reminder to me that when it truly does rain, it pours. :)

So, here are a few of my new etsy additions.

"Love is magical" (above) Was created with much love. It brought back so many memories as a child. My days were spent daydreaming about unicorns, and putting holes in the knees of my pants. Trying to get the perfect horse gallop "just right". *sigh* yes, life is so much simpler when your a kid. This print will forever remind me of those days, and bring a little more simplicity to my life. :)

"Home Sweet Home" Is the second in a new series titled "Sitting Pretty" featuring furniture; everything from comfy, firm, modern, to retro, tradional. With my favorite feathered friends almost always making an appearance in each piece.

"Make Yourself Comfortable" is another addition to the "Sitting Pretty" series. In addition to the two seen here, I have two more in the works. Look for them to pop up in the next couple of weeks! :) The original to one is already listed in my etsy store. The original to "make yourself comfortable" should be up within the week. :)

Totally in love:

I came across this etsy store a few weeks ago. "One Up Wall graphics" has a very professional feel/look to their etsy store, and I was immediately impressed. Now, had I have had a little extra spending money... I would already have at least 4 of their designs gracing my living room walls. *sigh* Oh well, I suppose good things come to those who wait. We are STILL waiting for the sale of our trailer to close, once it does... you can bet I will be filling my online shopping cart!

I have mortar walls throughout most of my home, so I was super excited to see that they will send a free sample for you to try on your walls. I am most certainly going to take them up on that offer! I contacted them about featuring them on my blog, and they were very polite and speedy to reply. :) So, if your looking for a completey unique and stylish way to dress up your home, look no further this store has it!

Where have I been?

Wheeew.... almost a whole week away from my blog! I must admit, life has been a little busy... but I HAVE had time to update. I suppose I have just chosen to spend my time doing other things. There has been a few things happen in my life these past couple of weeks, that has reminded me just how short life really is. It has caused me to examine just how much time I have been spending doing my "fun things" here on my computer... just a little more then I would like.

So, I have been enjoying taking a little bit of a vacation from blog land. I think I may spend a little less time keeping everyone updated on my family, and a little more time with my family. :) So, rather then trying to post every other day... I may go just a tad bit longer. Of course, this will be a struggle for me... because I do enjoy blogging. I have just come to appreciate those precious minutes with my family a little more.

Well, we had Shaela's shower this weekend. It was really great. A few friends came in from out of town for it. I was even fortunate enough to have a friend spend Friday night with us. We stayed up a little after midnight visiting, and getting caught up on each others lives. :) Having most of your friends live hours away is rough at times!

ALso- I applied a few weeks back to get my work accepted on http://www.trunkt.org/ and good news! I was accepted!! :) I was so thrilled, because trunkt is very specific on their style and they strive to feature the portfolios of the best artists rather then the most artists. :) You can view my portfolio here: http://www.trunkt.org/SparksFly

So, I suppose that is about the extent of the news...

OH- I am also offering a BUY 1 GET 1 FREE SALE. :) Yep, not sure how long I will keep it going... so if you are considering purchasing a print, now is a great time! :) http://www.sparksfly.etsy.com/

I also JUST added this new print to the store this morning. :) It is titled "Roses Among Us" I hope you all enjoy it!

Shadow's new crush...

I know I already posted once today, but I really wanted to post this today. Besides, I missed a few days, and really need to make up for it!! :)

So, this is our kitty Shadow's new crush... It would appear as though the feelings are mutual. I suppose we will have to see, I can only imagine the marriage counseling they would need... :)
