Clumpy daisies


I am having fun taking paint directly from the jar and putting it on the canvas. 
I'm calling this part of the painting clumpy daisies.

Working where i can

Lately I have found that Eli's room is a very productive working environment. For some reason, he requires less sleep than his sister, Sadie. So, while she is fast asleep, Eli and I set up shop in his room. As we were working together yesterday, I thought it would be fun to post pictures of his room (my second studio). 


I used paint pens to make these fun drawings on his walls. 
And, I made the flags out of fabric and ribbon. Very fun and very easy!

And, yes, I made that little red creature hanging out by the clock. 


And, yes, I made that green and blue creature hanging out in the corner. :)

My grandmother made the circus blanket hanging on the wall.

Sewing the chair

The chair is now in the hand sewing stage of creation. You can see for the pics that I decided to stuff the frame of the chair. I'm excited to see it coming together. 

A shout-out to my assistant for helping me on his 1st birthday! Happy Birthday Eli!!!

New flower painting (don't worry, i'm not finished)

New painting of flowers. I love the table cloth pattern at the bottom of the canvas. 
And, I'm lovin' all of the pink!

Detail of the left side. 


Inspiration image. I cannot remember what magazine I pulled this from.

To stuff or not to stuff

I'm debating whether or not to add polyfil to the orange fabric (i.e. the frame of the chair).
