first off, i have to say that my etsy shop sale was quite the success! i sold plenty of items and still have some left in the shop... most everything has been shipped off already and now, i am working on more paper packs along with some other tidbits of goodies.... by mid-march i will have more to show for, so please bare with me....
i decided to join dawn's paper quilt project and was able to work on it over the weekend... she sends each participant a small stash of paper and we can only use that paper to make a piece of artwork... it's supposed to be a day in our life and it will become a section of a real paper quilt.... you can see what others are doing here... it's such a wonderful idea.... well, here is the photo of the papers i received...
and here is a day in my life.... eating tums as if they are candy... yes, tums seem to do the trick (after about 8 a day)... originally, i was going to do an image of my belly with a baby inside but julie made such a beautiful version for the same project that i didn't want to look like a copycat... plus, hers is just too beautiful to compete :) so, as usual, i went the more comedic route and chose another aspect of pregnancy and motherhood.... tums- they give ya quite the relief after that cup of coffee that suddenly turned into bitter acid rising in your throat.... heh, so whatcha think??
and while i have had still more projects in the works, here is another piece not finished... just an overall color swatch.... the lil girl is missing an arm and her chair... and there is still more details to add but i hope it turns out well for vicki...
and lastly, here is the start of a project due very soon... it's for a lady named gina who is graduating from medical school... i am making her 200 invitations for her party.... i will be getting the illustration professionally printed but there will be still alot of handmade work involved... and this is due before the end of march, before the baby... there still has to be type, a martini glass in one hand, and a ground to add in the illustration but for the most part, the "gina paperdoll" is complete...
told ya, i had a lot to do :)
You are too kind! I've been a lurker fan of your blog for a while now... never thought I'd get a mention ;) I love your design, I can completely relate.
And wow, 200 invitations...

I think your paper quilt entry is wonderful. I still take tums as a source of calcium. :0)
Oh, and congratulations on those 200 invites.
9 more weeks is incredibly exciting.
