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.
