The Letter Boutique, My Little Studio and Family!!!

Life has been on the crazy side lately. Trying to put my art career together keeps getting pushed back.

My family means so much to me and with the news of my nephew coming down, contracting malaria in Laos put a heavy weight on my heart. On top of that my parents have been planning on returning to Laos anyways but this really made them quicken their step, or rather my step. In light of all that has happened my nephew is recovering after 8 bags of blood, i guess it was blood replacement, and meds he is doing well. I'm getting ready to move my parents entire house into a storage unit, oh what fun.

This is why my studio is a mess. I'm lying I can't seem to get it organized. Every time I get close life flips upside down on me. It definitely keeps life interesting.

So my art career is slightly on hold but I am producing art on a smaller scale. I'm painting letters for http://www.theletterboutique.com/ and it has been a blessing. I just wanted to thank Melanie Nguyen again from the bottom of my heart for referring me to Carrie, owner of The Letter Boutique. And Carrie thank you for the work and giving me a new frame of mind on what I could do.

So with everything that has happened I am producing art, it may not be mine per say, but I'm doing what I love.

Art & Crafty - Hair

Yesterday was a long day, I was with the kids and Rick and just finished my prednisone treatment about 2 days ago and feeling really strange, dizzy, you know not all there. My stepdaughter has been a bit head strong about not wanting to brush or dry her hair for about, oh, six months now. So I cut her hair off.

With me not being all there and not having very sharp scissors I didn't do that horrible of a job. So, a little crafty, a little artsy, Abigail got a new style.
