Hey everyone...wow, I haven't been here in a while. I did end up getting the flu, and couldn't get out of bed for 4 days...it's strange because I always forget when you're sick, you really can't do ANYTHING...no reading, no sketching...why is that?
I suppose it's one way for your body to actually recover completely.
Thank you ALL for the "well wishes"...and Tam, I am SO pleased your Grandma's accident wasn't worse...
My days are all mixed up...so a Wordless Wednesday wouldn't really work today...
This family portrait is for a very dear lady(and friend) who has a wonderful family. She has just started a blog of her own which is something very new to her, so please go over and say hello HERE. She's called it "A Voice for my Children".
I hope you like this "Family Load" portrait K...it was a pleasure drawing it.
If you would love a picture of YOUR family...just contact me via EMAIL for a quote.
This is my passion....and my Life...and I hope to never stop.
I hope you have a great day...

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...

It's mid-November already!!! I can't believe we're at the end of 2010 already...how is it possible that a year can pass SO quickly? Do you think it would still pass this quickly if we all lived in the Caribbean?
I've been fortunate this past week that so many projects have come my way.
Here's the latest...do you remember our Tell All Tuesdays with Nerissa? Well...just as many of the past requests...she wanted something for her and her family.She has 4 adorable children and a very supportive husband.
Her Cupcake business has taken off...if you live in the Durham Region or GTA she has specials on "Cupcake Friday"...go to her Facebook Page.
They really are the BEST cupcakes around!
It was so much fun to do...I'm really enjoying this series.
When I get a chance I will be updating my Etsy Store and reminding you about new listings...as well as the end of year sale I'll be having.
I have a new watercolour to finish...I'll show you the progress tomorrow.
HOPING all is well with you.
