4 Stages of a Tantrum

Stage #1

The part where she didn't get what she wanted

Stage #2

The finger point

(cutest thing ever)

Stage #3

You aren't taking my crisis seriously!!!!!

Stage #4

Pure self pity

No "real" tears were shed in the making of this post.

Singer Sewing Illustration

Illustration measures 12"x12"

All of the tiny details

I'm finished! The first of the series and my brain is reeling with ideas for more than just sewing machines. I'm considering offering custom sewing machine illustrations in my Etsy shop. What are your thoughts on this? I need to finish a few more before I put them in my shop. My friend Elissa from the blog Birch Swinging mentioned possible illustrations of other appliances & now I have them on the brain as well. I feel alive and inspired & ready to roll on the next project. This weekend I promised Sloan we would do some sewing. I got a killer deal on some flannel earlier this week & she has been begging me to sew with her. It is her machine after all. I have no blankets for the little guy so I figured it was about time I start on something for him. I haven't sewed in a while so I think I'm just as excited as Sloan. We shall see how it goes.

What do you have planned for this weekend?

Adding Details

Adding the smaller details

Did I mention I'm having a blast with this newest illustration? Oh, yeah, I did on my last post. Fact is I can't wait for the kids bedtime to roll around so I can get started on it again tonight. I have to say that this doing a project I need to & then one I don't have to is making all the difference. It gives me a chance to recharge my creative batteries.

I'm still waiting to post the newest card I just finished up. The one you saw me working on for the last few "Paint With Me Thursdays". I always wait until the website publishes it first. As soon as they post it, I will share it with you & then you can run over & print it out for yourself if you'd like ;)

Let me tell you I feel a little guilty. A good kind of guilty.

Happy Wednesday.
