Things have been so busy. I am finally starting to feel a little better, but now my wee one has caught it. Have you ever heard a 3 1/2 month old cough? Oh my, it is so heartbreaking. I feel like such a monster for getting her sick. She is so sad. No more morning smiles, just lots of pouty lower lip-ness. In the words of my friend Napoleon Dynamite, "it kills."
On a more positive note, I am slowly but surely making progress with all of these orders. I have learned that sometimes you just have to say no. I am always on overtime trying to get all this done. It kind of feels like running in place. The good news is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Once I get all of this done, we will be heading on a family vacation. A whole week at the beach. If I can just hold on, & finish strong... I can relax with my toes in the sand, knowing I didn't cut any corners. I don't want to ever look back & wish I had done it a little better, not when people are paying for artwork. I have to give them artwork... my best, not my "as good as it gets" or "good enough" work.
So, I have this weekend to really kick it up a notch & finish. I will finish, even if I have to tape my fingers (which I very well may have to). Hopefully on Monday I will be able to blog about a few different gifts. But, for today, I just have one.
This is for Destiny's great grandfather. He is a gardener. He grows corn. Its pretty much adorable. I don't care who you are, that corn is cute.
Wooden plank. Coated with Latex & Acrylic pants. Sold.
More to come on Monday. Enjoy your weekend.
I haven't even read the post yet but this is my favorite thus far. Right before the Goose Beary shop blocks....
ReplyDeleteanything with bark still in tact is alright by me.
Thank you for the reminder! I keep forgetting to blog about those blocks!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it. I will have to keep your preference in mind :)
