Closing my Shopify

I have decided to close my Shopify account for now. Like this blog, the traffic is zero. I am busy with class at the moment so I cannot afford the time to work on marketing. I think I am going to just go ahead and keep loading items into my store there. I will just…

The Rain in Spain

The boy should be landing in Spain as I am typing this blog. He is off with his school choir singing in the Cathedrals in Spain. It is very exciting. They will even be singing in a Benedictine Monastery/School in Spain. He text me from Germany this morning. He has not slept of course but…

A mother’s love

I am preparing to be parted from my boy for the first time in a long time. This will be the furthest he has been away from us. A different continent. We will be halving the distance because we are going to a US city that is five hours closer to his destination. It is…

Every Now and Then

After we botched the reservations last week for our anniversary dinner we decided it would be fun to go back to our wedding site and have dinner. We took the kiddo along this time. I just feel weird about leaving him at home and going out for an anniversary dinner. He did not have any…

I am so thrilled. I am finally done with my final digital painting project. I am so happy with the result. The vignette was of our own design. These items were things I had in my sewing supplies. It took me about 6 weeks to finish it just in time for the final presentation on…

and it goes on and on and on

This is the project that never wants to end. I have been painting this forever but I must say that it is coming along nicely. My professor helped me fix that issue with the paint on the buttons and La Mode logo but I biffed it and forgot to save it as a riff file…

Yikes!

So much for making sure I kept up with a posting daily. I guess this happens often. I have not even been to the blog since Easter. We had a lovely low key family celebration with the old folks and cousins. I love having everyone over but it always seems stressful. I always use my granny’s…
