Starting a new mural

Hello friends,
Where did February go?
I am amazed at how busy this year has been... I am totally out of the loop with so many of you... And haven't had a chance to come and say hello even recently...trust me, I have thought about it!
So... This is the start of my new project... I hope you'll check in tomorrow to see how things are going.
What's new in your life?

Hugs to you all

Birch trees and ribbons

Hello, if you have been following me on Instagram you'll know I am in the middle of a mural with I'm painting in a little girl's room...
The images may be scrambled as I'm blogging from my phone...but they give you an idea of how things are turning out.

We're being rained out again here in Toronto … it's a shame really as we all expect to have snow for months here and to be able to ski etc... hopefully we'll get some more snow soon.

Hugs to you all... Enjoy your week.

BEYOND Bedding...

Happy Tuesdays fabulous readers!!...yes, I know...no Tell All Tuesdays this morning.

 This week has been crazy getting our Mamas and Chicks Show organised before my partner Cindy leaves to meet her adopted boy in China next week (SO excited for her!!!)

We're ALL sold out with the Show...which relieves SO much stress...you wouldn't believe the amount of worry goes through my head when we're scrambling for vendors the last month of the Show...which has only happened a couple of times...but anyway, I won't be worrying about it now!

So thinking of Cindy and her new baby I came across this BEAUTIFUL site which as it says in it's name "BEYOND BEDDING" carries the most amazing bedding, and accessories for children of all ages,even little cute outfits for toddlers...my jaw was dropping as I was browsing. The fabrics are stunning...

the colours are perfect...

the style is divine...

and the prices are extremely reasonable...

I mean...look how gorgeous these are!!

They even have teen bedding...and with a flat rate shipping cost of $7.95!!! WOW!

SPREAD the word...if you know of ANYONE who is having a baby,or is transitioning from baby crib to toddler...or a teen bedroom in need of a makeover...send them this link.

WEBSITE : BEYOND-BEDDING

AND...they even have a blog!

BEYOND Bedding BLOG

Anyway...I am amazed what we can buy and find on the internet...

Have you purchased anything on the internet recently worth telling your friends and family about?

Have a great afternoon.

Fairy and Meadow Murals...

This is the final idea I have draughted for the Fairy Mural. There's no other place to put their daughter's Bed, so I am planning around it. It's almost like a scene seen through windows of a castle bedroom...lots of meadows with animals and fairies, rainbows and butterflies...dragonflies and bunnies...

Sketch 1:: Bunny hoping away...about to tell the others(of the meadow) that there are Big people watching them!

Bunny Sketch 2:: Big Bunny soaking in the Sunny Rays amongst the blades of new grasses...

This is the style of Fairy which will be used throughout the Mural...

And this one too...

A few little Fairy details...friends of all animals and flora...

I'm still deciding on the actual size of the fairies...I'd like to be able to give enough facial detail to them all, giving them each a unique look...

The frogs will be more for the Meadow Mural which I posted pics of in a previous blog...but I may add one on a toadstool in the Fairy Mural too...

Dragonflies and Butterflies for both murals...

This was one idea for the Fairy Mural...we had to work around the bed not being able to move around and the wall spaces which are encompassing it. I like the ideas of the trees being the homes for some of the fairies...and the meadows in the distance with the castles...so I'll use some features from this sketch...

Here was another idea, I like the trees how they become the homes of some of the fairies and I love the meadows and the castles, so I'll take some elements and incorporate them in the designs I create for the end sketch.

It's raining here today...I love rainy days in the Summer...fresh air to follow...natural methods of watering the lawns and flowers, curly hair and clean windows!

Have a lovely Thursday...
