So, I’m finally getting back on schedule with the kids being
back in school and summer officially being over, I’m finally getting back into a
groove. I know all you parents feel me! It usually takes about a month before
we are all deprogrammed, right?
The Etsy store has been crazy busy with orders, which is
good and we have finally moved into a store in Oneida called The Market, where
we finally have a permanent home for our pieces. I’m working on a cupboard that will be donated
for auction to The William Johnson Scholarship Fund in October (great cause) so look
for that story on the blog soon and we have several custom pieces in the works.
Plus, without starting to panic, Plowshares in just around the corner in December
and I need to start building inventory! Da, Da, Da….cue the scary music! But
with all the craziness, life couldn’t be better and I couldn’t be happier
because I’m doing what I love to do.
Like this next piece for example, who gets to get up and create
cute little nursery pieces like this for a living! I mean how lucky am I!
Mike had written me and asked if I could paint an end table
that would match the linens that were in his infant son’s room. He sent me a link
to the comforter and asked if there was any way I could do something similar to
this motif? I’d never done Snoopy before but I thought sure, I’d give it a try.
If you’ve been on this blog long enough you’d know that this particular style of table is one of my most popular tables in the shop. I’ve done them in many designs. Check out this one for example, or this one, or this one, or this one, or maybe even this one, the list is as endless as your imagination, but this cute Snoopy stand is a personal fav. Maybe because it’s Snoopy & Woodstock, let’s face it, they’re irresistible.
I’m hoping to have some more pieces to share very shortly!
Thanks for sticking around! In the mean time, have you caught the “Pinning”
bug!?! My friend Lucy (of Lucy Designs), totally introduced me to the crack (caugh, caugh, I mean...) wonderful world
of Pinterest and I have not been able to stop pinning since. So, if you are on one
night look me up! I’d love to follow you back I’m always up for new stuff/pins! And if you are on Face Book stop on over to
my page and chat! I’m on there to all hours of the night! Hahahaha! Okay, maybe
it’s not the kids that keep me from painting! See Ya soon peeps!
Happy Painting (or pinning, or facebooking or whatever....lol!),
