Hello Thursday...how are you? Oh, me? Thanks for asking...I feel like I should go back to bed(tight chest,coughing,aching all over...uncontrollable chills)...BUT...as a Mama...that's NOT possible,so Life goes on.
Above is a "Family Load" portrait I am working on for a dear Lady in the States...she had actually commissioned me one of just her with her children before Christmas and now has decided that her husband should be a part of the picture :-)
I will show you the finished picture when she has seen it.
It's a lot of fun working on these portraits...it really reminds me of how a family is a unit of ONE and need to stick together through thick and thin.
Do you remember the blanket I showed you a couple of weeks ago? Well my sis finally received it and so now I can post the final image...LOTS of imperfections...I know...but it was my first ever blanket!
Today we were walking up to school in 1/2 ft of snow slush...we received SO much snow last night...then people didn't shovel...and now this morning we're getting heavy rain.
I guess we are in OUR Canadian Spring right now...but I'm still excited about the flowers popping up!
Have you made anything for the "Family" recently?
I hope you have a great Thursday...and thank you for your sweet comments on the Alice set design....that's the only backdrop I am working on, as the school really doesn't have an elaborate stage.
Until tomorrow...

Do you ever feel like something GREAT is going to happen?
Yesterday and this morning feels like that...I feel giddy and excited about the prospects of becoming an illustrator! Really, it's true...I feel butterflies in my stomach...like now is the time...the time I may get my break.
Also because Shelly and I have SO many ideas for this series of books...we really have a while before the excitement could vanish...not that it ever should.
Thanks for all of your comments yesterday...I will pass by and say hi today...this week has FLOWN by again.
I did manage to finish the blanket I have been crocheting for my new little nephew (1st ever blanket)...I learnt a few new stitches(self taught)...I haven't taken a picture of the absolute finished product as my sister may check in here and then the surprise would be broken.
I've been working on it for 3 weeks in my down time...like when I wait for the girls whilst they dance...or watching any shows I have recorded...I like having projects on the go...it helps me feel like I am accomplishing something.
What are you working on?
AND what do you do in those "waiting" times?
Have a FABULOUS Friday and a fantastic weekend.
We'll catch up on Monday....with hopefully some GREAT news about the book.
happy HUGS
