gallery opening

he was excited for the opening, and couldn't wait to show off his work to others....but he forgot to think about the crowds...he forgot to think about how much people like to talk....he forgot how much that would bother him. He decided to return the next day, when all would be calm and he could show off his work to his mum and dad without all the chatter and noise.....

wallpaper love....

...I am in a wallpaper fix....and now that I have finally figured out how to take a screen shot (pathetic technology know how on this end...), I can't wait to share with you what some of these designs can look like adorning a wall.

tree pattern

...happy tuesday! (although it's yucky and cloudy outside....i'm dying for at least two sunny days in a row. Is that so much to ask?).  I've been thinking wallpaper lately, and thought this may make a lovely
pattern for a child's room, no? Perhaps a large scale repeat for curtains?

home pattern

...the sun is finally out after what seems like days of rain and lit fires to keep the chill out (don't get me wrong...I love a good gray damp day, but not when you are just dying for some spring sun after a long winter.  Give me a good couple of weeks of sitting outside like a lizard, and then i'd welcome the rain.)

I love how this pattern turned out, especially in my society shop.  Thinking I should offer some other color varieties?

new pattern....

...funny how things work sometimes, isn't it?

...take today, for instance. I finally had the opportunity to work a full day, and spent hours working on a pattern. To reward myself, I took a nice bath only to return to the computer to see that I had lost all of my work.  After a few moments of extreme agitation (I mean, it's not often I get this much time to work!), I took a deep breath and started over.  The above pattern was created quickly, and the satisfaction from this piece was much higher than the somewhat satisfied feelings I had about the piece I had worked on all day.

..Maybe the computer knew something I didn't, and took action into it's own hands. So, I guess today I can thank that little computer of mine :)

happiness is.....

...what is happiness to you?

...today happiness is a nice warm bath, followed by a big stick of chocolate dipped in peanut butter, followed by two happy kids running in from the bus.
