Sick and Tired....


Hello My Friends,
I am trying to squeeze a post in here between my loads of laundry. As you may recall, I was doing laundry in my last post. Well, after I stripped all of the beds and did four loads of sheets and blankets, remade all beds nice and neat, my little angel came down with a stomach virus. I'm sure I don't need to go into great detail for you all to understand why I am AGAIN!!! washing all sheets, blankets, and now comforters!!!UGH!!! Someone needs to invent some sort of contraption that attaches to a kids face to catch the vomit. They never seem to get to the pot fast enough! Alex still has a fever but I'm hoping that will pass over night:)
On a healthier (and less disgusting) note....I completed a painting this morning that I have attached a photo of. I just love doing these bird lady portraits! I'm thinking of doing a full length view but I need to do a little more sketching.
One last thing....have any of you seen the latest issue of Cloth Paper Scissors? The March/April issue is full of ETSY. There is even a story titled "heavens to Etsy". Plus it features
Kelly Rae Roberts and a few other Etsy sellers. I'ts a great magazine if you've never heard of it. Lots of great inspiration!
Well, I'm off to take out the (hopefully) last load! Wish me luck.

Sorry to hear about the sick bay in your house!

Gorgeous bird lady! I can't wait to see the new CPS now! I have to go out looking for it in the am!

Hope everyone feels better in your house soon!

Cannot wait to see a full length bird lady! How fun! Sorry for the "ukers" in the house. Tough work. Although, I am pretty used to it with 2 boys, 3 dogs and 2 cats running around the house. Usually once a week event!

Thanks for the heads up on Cloth, Paper, Scissors. I just started using Kelly Rays techniques when collaging with gel mediums and a brayer. Way fun and great textures. Late-tah~ ;)
