A New Year and New Adventure

I am typing to say Happy New Years.  This year I have many fun new adventures and goals.  I am starting off the new year by moving to Fairfax Va to attend the Master of Art Education Program at GMU.  I am packing up tonight and moving to my new place tomorrow, I cant wait.  One of my many goals is to draw, paint, or design once a day and to post my progress and work on this blog.  I would love to hear you opinions and advice.

Wrapping Trouble

Its the time of year for shopping, wrapping, baking, and decorating.  I tried to imagine how christmas would be if I was a reindeer.  It would be difficult with no thumbs.  I would get all wrapped up in the ribbon and bows.

Crazy Week

Crazy week ahead, with work and two trips to Fairfax VA.  I have an interview with GMU for there master of art education program tomorrow.  Wish me good luck.  Crossing my fingers.

Is a published Illustrator

I am so excited to announce that I am now a published Illustrator.  Check out the fall issue of Hybrid Mom magazine, now being sold at Barnes and Nobel.  Look for my drawings on page  6, 46, 47, and page 48.  The food watercolor and the pen and ink drawings are done by me.  I am ever excited and it feels great to see my name in print.

I have enjoyed making this flower and many others.  just pin them on your jacket, scarf, hat, or in your hair.  They add a little bit of color and fun to brighten up your day.  Please check them out at my Etsy store.  And I would love to hear your comments and ideas.  What color flowers would you love to have added to your life?

And check back soon for my Winter Poll for a chance to win a free gift bag.

My Friendly Typer

Hi my name is Charlie and I love to sing, dance, chew, and type.  Listing to different sounds is a joy in my life.  The sound that a bell makes and the noise of the tip tap on the key board that I make with me feet.  I also like tapping on the computer screen but mommy gets mad.  Just wanted to sat "Hello" and I will share more stories soon.

This is my hansom baby boy Charlie.  He is 9 year old Cocktail that has been part of my life since he was 8 months old.  He is great company and always brings a smile to my face with all the silly things he does.

Deer in the Backyard

My second story bedroom and studio and the beautiful view.  I now and then will see deer in the backyard.  This is just a baby and the mom is somewhere near by.

Here is a close up of the deer eating the grass.  My dad is not so happy about this since the grass was just  planted.
