My Budding Artist

My little artist, Carter, drew these little masterpieces on the back of attendance cards during church last Sunday. I guess he was commemorating the three current major holidays. I thought they were just so cute that I had to share, proud mom that I am. Check out the rabbit's teeth!

Spelling might not be his gift! Luckily, he has the art thing as a back-up! I am just kidding. I know I am biased, but I think he is pretty bright.

Okay, I adore the big, fat cupid! If you have kids' artwork I challenge all of my blog buddies out there to share it. We all love to see the world through children's eyes. It is always simple, funny, colorful, and happy...the way it should be!

Madelyn's Horse

Randi ordered this darling (that's Lauren's new word:) horse canvas for a friend with a new baby. Randi says they are horse show people and she really wanted a girly version of the horse for them. I chose the hot pink and light pink background. You don't get much girlier than that! I love the white polka dots and the wavy line for the trim. It reminds me of ric-rac that used to be on some of my dresses as a little girl. The horse in all colors for boys and girls has proven to be a top seller. Thank you all!

Black Diamonds

Ashley Gillentine ordered this welcome canvas as a gift for a newlywed friend. She liked the black and tan because it goes with their current house colors, but it also goes with just about anything in case they move or redecorate. How smart!
Ashley also wanted it to have a more masculine feel. I did the black on black diamonds in the background along with the burlap ribbon to accommodate this request. I think it came off as very clean and classy.

Easter Eggs

All of these bright, beautiful colors remind me of Easter eggs. Coloring eggs is one of our favorite things to do. We are really looking forward to it, even though it does seem too early.




















This rainbow of canvases and ribbons are my efforts to prepare for the Bobby Ray craft show. It has now been postponed due to weather and will now be on Saturday, April 5th from 10:00-4:00. We do still have a few spaces left. Now that you have a little more time to get ready, if you decide you want a booth please call the school at 473-9006 A.S.A.P.

Spring Flowers

Ashley Barnes ordered this special canvas for her mother-in-law's birthday gift. Pat has added a sunroom on to her house and decorated in one of my favorite color schemes, blue, white, and yellow. Ashley wanted something to go in that room that had all of the grandchildren's names on it. We came up with this adorable daisy design. It looks "springy" but can be left up all year round. I love the pretty ribbon and the stripes at the top and the bottom. I also left a few blank daisies for growing room!
It is a very versatile design, so when you are thinking about yourself or the grandmother in your life, remember that this can be done in any color and size. This one is my new size, 8x24. Also remember that it doesn't have to be daisies...we can work out just about anything!

Marlee and Maggie

Tammy Sliger ordered a couple of little canvases for the new baby in her family, Maggie. She also ordered one to match for Maggie's big sister, Marlee. I think it is so sweet when the new big brother or sister gets a gift, too.
Tammy asked for pink, lime green, and yellow with a butterfly and a ladybug. I think these might just fit the bill!

An Early Easter

Easter comes so early this year. Many of us are taking down our winter and Valentine stuff and putting up rabbits!
Shannon Shelton from Cookeville ordered this pretty gray bunny for her home for spring. She likes aqua and lime so those are the colors I tried to emphasize. I think this bunny is not just Easter and could really be left up all spring...unless you are like my mom. She has a rabbit kitchen all year round!
If you need a bunny for Easter or just for spring, have your order ready on the 8th to be sure you get it in plenty of time to enjoy it!
