I’ve dedicated this evening to drawing. I swore to myself today that I wouldn’t let anything interrupt that. However, I’ve neglected this little blog for the past week or more and I decided to update with something that I find very sweet. My mother has always claimed to not have any talent for drawing. I disagree.
When Mom was my age, she drew these little gals while working as a physical therapist. She had shown them to me years ago and I just recently remembered them. I made her dig through all of her crap in the attic and find them so that I could give them the honor that they deserve. I sprayed them with sealant and framed each one to hang in my studio as inspiration.
I love the retro outfits and the crazy hair.
I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do!! Now I’m off to do some drawing/painting and hopefully reach my goal of getting my Etsy shop up and running by July. Fingers crossed! I can only pray that I’m half as successful as the amazing people who’s blogs I read. They’re all so inspiring. I feel hardly creative in their shadow. I’m going to do my best at making things my own, though, and hopefully, all the hard work will pay off.
Today we are headed to Williamsburg, VA for my little brother’s wedding (which is on Saturday). He’s not so little, standing at 6′2″, I think. I absolutely adore his soon to be bride. Never having sisters, I now have 3 of the greatest sister in laws a girl could ever ask for.
This picture is of Lindi, Me and Jen at my wedding 3 months ago. Lindi is married to my older brother.
The flags in the background were a must since we had a military wedding.
The sister you don’t see is my husband’s sister. She is the one I’m taking the pottery classes with. I love her to pieces!
Unfortunately, Lindi and Jen both live in other cities, so I don’t get to see them often. I’m working on changing that. Lindi and Ryen will be moving here in August and I’m still trying to persuade Patrick and Jen to do the same. Who knows!
The In-Laws and my wonderful step-children.
My family.
My Mom and Dad giving me what is known so affectionately in our family as a “Cheek Eater”. I love it just as much now as I did when I was 4.
Bridezilla unleashed…
