My girls

Everyone knows I have always loved being the Aunt to my girls. My sister's all have lots of girls and before I had my own, they were mine too. So I am of course as proud of them as I am of my own little ones. So here is a clip of Eliza, Nancy's youngest (at the ripe old age of 8), playing the pre-show at Tuachan in St. George UT. We are going to have to start collecting her memorabilia so when she is a big star we can sell them for retirement money:)

Original Art

Painting by KJ
The Dreamy Giraffe Etsy Shop

I consider myself a bit of an amateur artist and so I have a great appreciation for all the real artist out in the world. I would love to cover my walls with original art so I have started my search in not so well know artist portfolios. This is a link to some of the beautiful stuff I love and might even be able to afford.

My Christmas Fabric Design

I don't know why this makes me so happy but I sent in some fabric designs to Spoonflower when they called for Christmas fabric to submit to a magazine. Today I was on their blog and saw my fabric flash on their weekly video. They told me right after I sent it in that they were going to print it but it was just so fun to see it done. The other fabrics were pretty great so I doubt it will get chosen for the magazine. I am just so happy to see it I don't care.This is my design that got printed and below is my other print. I guess the repeat wasn't clear enough to print the green one. He said he really liked it though.


It's a start!
