In the words of my neighbor she will be a "yearling" (I like that much better than toddler - it sounds sort of Lord Of the Rings-y).<br />
<br />
In honor of my baby, I'm showing off pictures of my baby lion and tiger paintings. So much cuteness, I go "awe" while I'm painting!<br />

I took a vacation day this Wednesday to spend a little extra time with my bug, and to avoid the potentially slippery streets once we start to get the predicted 5-8 inches of snowfall. I thought March was in like a lion and out like a lamb, but it's feeling pretty lion-y on this end-of-March day!<br />
<br />
The bug has been experimenting with getting in and out of the Bumbo all on her own. As you can see, she needs a little more practice!<br />

I can't wait to show off these new spring log slice paintings. The dragonfly is my favorite, because I painted it in honor of my little bug, Maura, who we call our dragonfly. These paintings will be available exclusively my spring shows, and will not make an appearance in my Etsy shop until June.<br />

So, naturally, after making a couple of sets I had to run to the store for actual guacamole ingredients, and Jason and I went to bed with bellies full of guac last night! Yum!<br />

She started scooting a couple of weeks ago, and her speed has really picked up. It's a chore keeping her from my paints, but at least she's able to offer me her assitance with quality control.<br />

I think this Welcome sign passed her stringent quality tests!<br />

Make sure you stop out and see me, because it will be your only chance to buy in person from me for Christmas!<br />

I love the interesting shape! Nothing seems good enough to paint on it. I've considered a giraffe, a lion, a hedgehog, and a deer. All would be cute, but would they be just the perfect thing? Currently I have a nice coat of beige paint on for the background. Hopefully inspiration will strike soon!<br />

It's the kind of weather that makes me wish I was on the beach or at least at the swimming pool! <br />
<br />
It's a great time of year for ocean critter brooches, and I have a great selection in my Etsy shop. All of my brooches are hand cut from scrap wood and hand painted with care. This whale brooch is one of my favorites!<br />

I cannot begin to describe how much I'm enjoying being Maura's mommy. I feel so filled with love for my little family, and I'm so grateful for all of the people who have supported and congratulated us over these last couple of weeks.<br />

The open house is always one of my favorite days of the year. I have an excuse to clean my studio and set up a little show room, and I get to help greenhouse customers. It's so awesome to think about all of our little plants going out to bloom around town and beyond!<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of photos from the event (I even convinced Jason to pose with me for one!)<br />

These last couple of months have been pretty crazy for me. Greenhouse season is in full swing (yay, my favorite time of year!), I'm 32 weeks pregnant with a baby girl (our first child, yay again!), and I recently started a new engineering job (I love it, yay for a third time!).<br />
<br />
I'm still painting, of course, because there's really no better way to relax. I've added several new cedar slice painting designs to my Etsy shop. This snail is definitely my favorite new design.<br />

The plain white walls just didn't create the upbeat atmosphere we were hoping for. So, after months of thinking and worrying, I've finally started painting a spring-y mural. This is definitely the largest scale painting I've ever done, and it definitely has me out of my comfort zone! I am enjoying the challenge so far, though!<br />

I really wish it was spring, but I know the seasons are just trying to fool me.<br />
<br />
I used my "spring fever" this morning to make a fancy new dahlia wood slice painting. I can not wait for all the beautiful blooms that pop up in warmer weather!<br />
