Springtime Trio Heralds In Spring

Easter Trio Bag

Springtime is not too far around the corner, we've already sprung ahead in most of the country, much to my chagrin. (I would like that hour back please) I do however look forward to digging in the dirt and making things grow. This however attracts many little furballs to dine in my garden as if it were an all you can eat salad bar. It is ok though, I enjoy their company and as long as the destruction is down to a minimum I can share.

Today I gave a new twist to one of my designs which happened quite by accident. I intended to make a simple trio of my bunny, chick and carrot but when I put it on a tie the pattern was quite nice. So here you have it, Some sugary sweet little critters and a carrot. I hope you enjoy it and it brightens your day.

It Has Been A While

Well it seems I have been absent here for a while. Time really flies when you are in the midst of chaos, even if the chaos is a good thing. There are some bright things ahead for me but I will share them another time. Like half the world I am trying to get things done before the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. I have a choice, t.v. or the internet but not both, such are the choices you have to make when you own an old house. I have to choose between an air conditioner or a vacuum in the summertime (guess which one wins) or else I am trudging down the dark, dank basement to flip unmarked fuses. Again I am rambling which happens when my mind is trying to remember too many things.

Recently the North East was pummeled with a ton of snow and while I do not mind the winter or the snow I laughed at my friends complain away and long for the Springtime. That got me to designing some things for Ostara and Easter. I posted the first thing tonight, there are a few more in line for tomorrow.

Gingham Carrot Card

Gingham Carrots is the first in an Easter series and maybe even a new vegetable series too now that I am thinking of it. This design took a few minutes in Illustrator. The gingham I already had made and the carrot was as simple circle stretched out and leaves added via the spiral and arc tool.

Be sure to look for the Easter Bunny and Chick coming soon. It is a carry over from my Always Remember Me shop on Zazzle but it is getting a fresh new look.

Sorry to cut this short, Opening Ceremonies are about to start. Have a wonderful weekend all!!!

Spring Is Here!

Spring is just around the corner! Ok, well maybe more like down the block and around the corner but it will be here before you know it. I am gladly putting aside the colors of autumn and winter for more vibrant paints and while yesterday was cold, dreary, very wet and windy I gave Spring a little head start. Above is a watercolor of tulips, actually it is four seperate tulips combined into one so I can manipulate it onto various gift items. I painted this time in the style of colored pencils and enjoyed being able to dip into my lesser used colors. I think perhaps I shall paint more flowers this summer.

In the coming days I will be offering it on CafePress. It is available right now on Greeting Card Universe, for Birthdays, Valentine's Day and Easter and Zazzle, for Easter and as is.

I am also working on Easter, Valentine's and a few Anti-Valentine's Day cards and designs so check back often
