Website, website, website

Today's project, as it has been for it seems like forever is the website, website, website, and it's still not ready to show you! But I felt like blogging and at least sharing with you one of the pretties from my collection.

I guess because today is not really a normal blog, I have decided to give you a not really normal bird... But who can go wrong with a fish with wings?

Luke and I found this guy on our honeymoon in Durango, Colorado, and he combines Luke's enjoyment of tropical fish, and mine of birds.

In other news we currently have 2 doves nesting on our front porch. One in a plant right beside the door, and the other in a hanging basket on the other side of the door... I know I like birds but this fear of me causing baby bird abandonment if I leave my house through the front door is a little nerve wracking! Hopefully I will get the opportunity to take some pictures soon, and hopefully the babies will really hatch. I can't believe how appropriate that would be to be able to chronicle this adventure for you here on the nest.

Well have a great day, and if you come and visit take care when you walk up to the front door. You may be confronted by a frightened bird, who although she/they will not harm you, they most certainly may startle you as they themselves are startled from their perch by your arrival....

Garage Sale!!!!

All right ladies and gents, today's post has to do with one of my not very creative, creative endeavors this week. I have been making hot pink Garage sale signs! Woo hooo! I have also been separating out plants like a mad woman, battling ants, and being startled by lizards.  So come by and help me make room in my greenhouse for the ever expanding plants! The  money I earn from selling plants goes back into the greenhouse for soil and really cute pots like this one from Hobby Lobby,

who also happens to be the bird of the day!

It's a neighborhood wide garage sale and there are always great finds, so come prepared to shop! Let me know if you need the address and I will e-mail it to you.

Have a great day!

The Melissa Invitation

As today is Wedding Wednesday, and as I am finally DONE with my brothers wedding invitations and they are out for the world to see, I will now show them to you! May I present....

Hand cut accents, raised to give a subtle shadow, Cream colored card stock layered over a canon brown.

 

 Hand lined envelopes and custom designed stamps, really what could be any better?

A matching custom website!

And for today's glimpse inside the nest here is my favorite door stopper who does not stop any doors

Matthew 6:26

All right Ladies and Gents, the spastic blogger returns. There has been a bit of chaos here at the nest. The two smallest occupants had decided that the whole house was now a litter box so a massive cleaning spree had to be called for! The house is much cleaner now and work has been happening in many areas.

    I have really been thinking hard about what direction I want to go as an artist and designer and how to even start! I feel like in some ways I already have a lot going for me, but nothing to pull it all together, and to many projects on my plate. So now that my brother's wedding invitations are done (more on those tomorrow maybe) I have decided to finish up the projects that I have been procrastinating on and then really start building a website and getting some other things under way.
  

   Today's bird is my procrastination project complete! (well almost

Proof that there has been work going on in the studio, look at this mess!

The finished bird project for my client and friend, Ms. Shirley Webster. Now I need to call her and tell her that after months of waiting it is finally finished and we can go get it framed.

This makes me wish I knew what else to draw....

Well enjoy, and stay tuned because soon enough I think I may have some more things to show you! Now I am very hungry and ready to start moving on to the multiple other projects on my list.
