Art on the Bricks 2011

2011-05-23T19:40:00.000-04:00

Back in April, our town held its 2nd annual Art On The Bricks celebration. I was so thrilled to meet a new friend, Cliff Ulmer. He is a cartoonist among many other titles. He drew this picture of Eli in about 10 minutes. He made one of me too....I keep forgetting to take a picture of it, but hopefully I'll share it soon. Cliff loves to participate in Festivals, so if you would like to have him come and share his talents, let me know and I'll pass his info along to you. BTW, this drawing only cost me and unbelievable $10.00.

I am so impressed by Cliff's talent!!

Baby Girl Nursery Mural

2009-08-22T04:52:00.008-04:00

This expectant Mom and Dad found a Pottery Barn design that they liked, but wanted it painted on the walls of their baby girl's nursery instead of in vinyl. We tweaked the name medallion a little to make it more feminine. The armoire was given to the couple and so we painted it a fresh green and aged it just sligthly for a beautiful unique addition to the room.

Custom Art for Boy's Rooms

2009-08-22T04:35:00.003-04:00

Ok....so here are a few custom canvases I have done for boys. I painted Landon's walls with a mural of a construction site and these 3 18" x 18" canvases to match his bedding. Unfortunately, my photography skills are not up to par and the mural photos are not very good quality, sooooooo.....you will not be seeing those. The Roper canvas was for Jenny's friend who needed a jungle themed canvas in primary colors. Cool name!!

Ok...I've been so busy filling orders and doing custom work that I haven't taken time to be creative. I had this idea and couldn't wait to get it started. Jus before closing yesterday, I got out the fabric that I had ordered and have been dying to use. It's by Wendy Slotboom. I just LOVE it!!!!! Made this cute little dress for my little painted cutie. The whole project is painted onto a stretched oval canvas. Looks like a little portrait. Let me know if you are interested in one. I can customize the colors and go CRAZZZyyy!!

Made to Match "Delilah Bedding" by Cocalo

2009-06-15T22:05:00.010-04:00

I had so much fun painting this mod chic nursery this morning for parents -to -be Casey and Tracy. The room is now ready for little Chloe Ann to arrive in just a few weeks. This room was already screaming with class with the wonderful bedding by Cocalo (Delilah) and the tasteful tow-tone paint job done by Dad. Tracy wanted a little more pizzazz to bring everything together so that's where I came in. I added the color-blocks to the main wall above the crib and painted in some of the beautiful vine and florals from the bedding. I also added a few dragonflies and butterflies on the opposing wall to balance everything. Oh, and I just love the little vases with just the slightest pop of red daisies that hang beside the windows. I love this room!!

Custom Nursery

2009-05-12T17:41:00.008-04:00

A little over a year ago...I think...maybe longer, I had the pleasure of meeting Teresa, mother of Lana and very proud grandmother of little Maya. I was asked to paint a set of canvases to coordinate with the bedding and window treatments. The fabrics used were by Covington-Topsy Turvy Monkey Toile Design. Lana did a wonderful job of designing this nursery! I absolutley love the sophisticated colors, the iron crib, and the overall non-traditional style of the room. Thanks to Abby of Abby Caroline Mims Photography (who just happens to be little Maya's Aunt) for sharing this awesome photo. Abby is an incredibly talented professional photographer with a beautiful portfolio. Check out her work here

Below are some up-close pics of the canvases I created along with a clip of the fabric inspiration.

Happy Father's Day

2008-06-14T20:53:00.007-04:00

Hey Daddy. Well as is about par for me, I missed the deadline with the old postmaster to get your gift in the mail on time for Father' Day. So, I have been sitting here at my computer for what seems like hours trying to post a video from YouTube especially for you. You would have loved it, however, for some reason I cannot get it to post to my blog. Another day to learn about that. I wanted to show the world part of what I love about you.

There are many, many things that I could mention but I won't share them all. My dad is one of the very best quitarists that I have ever heard. I wanted to play this video of my daddy's favorite guitarist "Doyle Dykes". You can see it at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_pX2iwsYWw I have always loved sitting around and listening to my daddy play his guitar. He taught himself to play when he was about 14 yrs old and has always given glory to God for his talents. He has even built several beautiful and ingeniously designed guitars by hand. My dad has also written an incredible memory course, part of which instructs individuals to memorize and recall the 4 "Gospels" in the Bible. By the way, you can check out his books and course online at http://www.BibleInstantRecall.com. He likes to tell good jokes, cooks great BBQ, sings well, does some great impressions (the best one "Crazy Googenheim"), a great painter (I think that's where I got that talent), a good listener, excellent minister and public speaker, a good husband -I think, he even made a "Tang" cake when we were little- some of you probably don't even know what "Tang" is. He loves Jesus and has devoted most of entire adult life pastoring churches and sharing God's love. But very best of all, He's always been a great "Daddy".

Love You Daddy,

Happy Father's Day

Adelily Festival

2008-06-13T07:59:00.003-04:00

Our town held its 2nd Annual "Adelily Festival" this past weekend. We had a great time seeing all of the vendors and their wares in our small town. Below is a picture of our friend, Mrs. Evelyn McCranie. She is our "Daylily Festival Queen". Evelyn is our queen because about 3 years ago she named our town its very fitting name "The City of Daylilies". I really think its because she's such a fun, outgoing, doing anything for anyone at anytime kind of gal- but ok, maybe its because of the name founding thing. Anyway, I love her and she has been a blessing to me and my family over the past 3 years that I have known her and I just wanted you to meet her.

2008-06-13T07:55:00.003-04:00

I chose this daylily out of hundreds in the show because of its rareity. It is a Polly Steeple type of Daylily and is called "Colonel Scarboro". It is special because of its number of petals. It has 8 petals and most daylilies have only 6.

Adelily Festival

2008-06-13T07:36:00.003-04:00

I was thrilled to meet this artist at our town's festival. Her name is Dottie Sinclair. Wow, what a small world-she just lives about 1 mile from me. She creates beautiful little watercolor paintings that make you want to jump right in them. You can see one of them in the post below-but it looks even better in person. Most of them are tropical or beach themed in all of my favorite colors. We purchased one of her painted fish wall hangings which we all love. They are just adorable, whimsical pieces of art that are painted from the (bark?) of a palm tree. I can't quite remember what those crazy things were called, but it looks to me like she peeled a palm tree and painted the peelings to look like fish-how clever!!

It was fun to see her response when she saw the dragonflies being painted on the wall. When I was finished she said "Here's your books, now go home! Out of the mouth of babes!!! Love em'.

Chocolate Soup

While on Spring Break last week I stumbled upon the most adorable little shop that I wanted to share with everyone. Below is a picture of the owner/artist, Linda Lee Smith. She calls her delicious little studio "Chocolate Soup"- A Ceramics Bakery and Studio. She offers unique bisqueware that you can paint yourself , group parties with personalized instruction and custom design services. The studio is located in beautiful Fernandina, Florida. If you're ever there, you just have to stop in. I could have spent the day there looking at all the pretties. I ordered 2 custom flowers that she designed. You can see them in the photo of Eli by the window box. You can also order online at

www.chocolatesoup-online.com.

For someone who knows very little about sewing, I absolutely love pretty fabrics. I have lots and lots of samples that I have picked up (and payed for I better add) over the years. I love these designs by Sandi Henderson. You can read more about her on her blog, Portabellopixie
