Gussy Link-up: Sunshine

Oops... I just noticed I wrote 2 days. Oh well.

See my post about perfectionism below...

Have a bright, bright sunshiney day... or uh 2 days.

Tuesday: Playing in the studio, Queen Bee, and Orphan News

Today's randomness...

I've been playing in the studio

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here.

Mostly playing with texture & color.

I'm having fun, can you tell?

****************************************************************

I'm getting ready for the Queen Bee Market

***next weekend***

I ordered my new business cards too late,

so I'm making my own...

business cards

bio cards

pricing &

vendor labels...

I need to spend some quality time at Kinko's.

I picked a bunch of prints & cards up from the printer yesterday.

It's like Christmas when I do.

I love to see how they turn out.

 Now I just need to package & label them.

And finish my shelving,

but that's for tomorrow night.

If you live in the San Diego area, I'd love to meet you at the market,

next Friday & Saturday, May 7&8.

Help bring orphans home in May!

10% of all May sales to the Sparrow Fund

(This includes all sales from the Queen Bee Market)

 an organization committed to encouraging and supporting these families as they prepare for the adventure of adoption. They do this by providing grants to families in financial need to enroll in programs specifically designed to provide counsel and comprehensive medical reviews of their referred child.

31 shop owners have committed to donating 10% of their May sales to the Sparrow Fund.

Check out the website to find out what other businesses will be contributing.

So exciting to be a part of what God is doing to bring children home to their forever families.

In the Studio: Getting Unstuck

I was ready to burn these canvases.

ready to throw them out the window.

I could not get them right.

I started to play

not worrying, just having fun with
color and paper.
and this turned in to this...

which turned into this...

which turned into this...

 it is well with my soul.

my cup overflows.

after letting it sit and sit and taunt me.

it all fell together.

easily.

where did it come from?
i have no idea.

the best kind of creating.

it's just it's own thing.

It's a constant battle to suspend judgement
and just go with whatever feels right
to take risks and not just do
what is comfortable.


And I have to say,
I love working in a space that is
organized and makes sense.
It was so worth the time it took to my studio to this place.
It makes me happy just to be in here.
