I have always been a pretty chilled out {lazy} person. I had no problem putting my feet up and spending hours watching tv or reading a book. That has all changed since October and I find myself with lots and lots of {nervous} energy. Now that both boys are in bed early, hubby is working late, and I am up until at least midnight every night, I need ways to fill the time.
I am so grateful that art has filled that space. I decided to start Polka Dot Grove with my friend Lisa...let's see...over a year ago. Life and kids {and trying to pick a logo}* delayed the process a bit. In that time Lisa landed an amazing opportunity to write the Party Mummy blog for the Yummy Mummy Club. So, for now, I am flying solo. I feel like creating art has helped me get back into the groove of life a bit, although I think I still have a long way to go.
Thanks to my great friends, online and off, I have had quite a few orders already. I can't believe it!
I just know that Oprah will be knocking on my door and adding me to her Favourite Things show any minute now. I guess I better buy some cuter pj's so I am ready to Skype with her.
*have I said how much I love these brackets { }?
You are too cute! I love love your artwork. Our very own original peace hangs proudly in the babe's room. When I look at it, it brings me comfort. I'll be ordering more! I already have an idea in mind for my oldest son.
ReplyDeleteyay!! I find doing creative stuff helps me feel sane and normal too - it's really amazing for me. I'm so glad you are doing this and can't wait to tune into Oprah :)
