Etsy artist to check out

Every year for my birthday, my good friend Joules sends me treats from my “favorites” on Etsy. It’s always fun to get these gifts. I love that they are handmade. I also think it's important to support a fellow artists and crafts-people through Etsy. This year she bought me a set of mugs from Kim Berger’s shop: KbOriginalsetc.


These mugs are so nice. The colors are warm and soothing. My hand fits perfectly around it. It’s the perfect mug to grab after a long walk in the fall when it’s just chilly enough for you to appreciate coming home to a hot cup of tea.

Thanks Joules

...thanks Kim

Heads up...

Time management - an update

I'm still struggling with balancing being a full time mom and a part-time artist. Savannah has gotten much more mobile (and curious about everything) which is fun but it means I have to be more alert when she's awake. Needless to say, I don't get a lot of painting and drawing time. I've been trying to get work done at night but it's not always easy to motivate after a long day. I can sometimes get a good hour or two in.
The good news is that my mom has offered to watch her for one afternoon once a week so I can get some artwork done. Awesome. We tried this out last Friday and then again today. I'm happy to say I did get a lot of work done on Friday. I was able to draw a number of new pieces for the upcoming Winter Arts Festival and I also squeezed in some time to work on a painting I had started way before Savannah was even born. Today I worked exclusively on drawings for the show as that deadline is fast approaching. So hopefully we can continue this arrangement - Savanah and her grammie seem to have a lot of fun and I get a chance to work without worrying about my little girl.
