Beautiful Wedding Quotes

Oh, this saying is just so sweet.  Nicole Austin ordered this for her upcoming wedding, and I love that she kept it a really simple black and white.

Here's the companion piece - another sweet saying.

Nicole asked for no ribbon and tells me that they are going to be on easels for the wedding.  I'm sure it will be gorgeous.  Congratulations on your special day!!!

Acorns!!

I was trying to come up with something other than a pumpkin to paint for fall.  I love squirrels and acorns.  I gave acorns a try and squirrels are on my list!  One is a large 16" circle ($40) and the other one is a smaller 8" circle ($20).  They are both available for immediate delivery!

I wish this really pretty background color would have photographed better.  It's called black plum and I've distressed is a bit for a rustic look.

They both also have burlap ribbon and a couple of leaves for a little extra color.  How perfect would one of these be in a wreath on the front door??

Sweet Baby Boy

Here's four really pieces designed for a rustic baby boy nursery.  I've got a picture somewhere of the bedding that was so cute.  It has the alphabet in the blue, yellow, brown and green along with some animals representing a few of the letters.  It's adorable!

I did this large 12x24 to hang over the crib.  I love the font!  Bethany Gregorich requested the burlap ribbon, too.

These two 5x5's feature the green that is on the trim of the big one and a couple of the animals from the quilt.  The burlap was too big so I used twine for these.

 

Finally, Bethany also wanted this quote.  I used more yellow on this one with the blue and green again for accents.  The lettering brings in the brown and the burlap ribbon ties it all together.

Thank you so much, Bethany!  Gray is just beautiful!

Snowmen...Already?

I don't know if it is ever really too early for a few snowmen!  I painted these three cuties trying out some chevron on the background.  Turns out the chevron was just too big for the 5x5 canvas.  It was just overwhelming!  I did some snow on that one instead.

The larger rectangle one is a 6x9 and costs $20.00.  The round one is an 8" circle and also costs $20.00.  The smaller 5x5 square is $15.00.  Those prices do not include shipping if needed.  They are all immediately available.

I am getting all kinds of fall and winter themed stuff ready for Pumpkinfest!  I am so excited to be a part of downtown Franklin's annual festival this year.  Click here to get all of the details and make plans to come see me!

Rustic Monograms

Oh, I've been doing some really pretty rustic monograms lately.  This large B monogram is unique because the family name is written in the side of the letter.  I love it!  I topped this one off with some fall colored sunflower ribbon.

This R monogram features a twig frame.  It took forever to break all of the sticks to the same length and glue them on there - but it was worth it!

I kept the actual letter a little unfinished looking and added some twine for hanging.  It looks pretty cute on my front door - maybe I need an M!!

Baby Boys

New customer April Payne liked the birth announcement canvas design that I have available on etsy.  She wanted to make a few changes to make it perfect for her son's nursery.  She requested the light blue and sage green argyle on the top canvas and the stripes on the bottom canvas.

Instead of the name at the top, she wanted a fancy monogram - which I think turned out sooo pretty!  Since these are done in a little larger size (11x14 and 8x10) I was able to put the name on the bottom canvas like wanted as well.  I just love this one!

Believe it or not, this one is for a completely different nursery.  I just happened to have these two orders using exactly the same colors during the same week.  Isn't this just the sweetest quote for a nursery?

Fair Week!

It's fair week here in Warren County, Tennessee!  I have to confess that I am not a really big fair person.  I'll go and see the kids' art entries, eat a yummy cheeseburger and a candy apple, and go to Lauren's pageant.  That's about it.  However, it is a huge event in this town!

Lauren was in the Little Miss Fairest of the Fair pageant.  She did so good and made the Top Ten.

My sister, Emily, came in from Franklin to do her makeup and help us get ready.  It's nice having a pageant pro in the family!

Carter hung around for a little while.  It didn't take long for him to find some friends to run around with!  He's qualified for several of the Fair Day sports events.  That's going to be fun to go watch!

My princess!  I'm so proud of her!

Today we are post pageant chillin'!
