Being diagnosed with MS last spring, really slowed me down, and stole my desire to create. Well I am back, and ready to get my creative juices flowing! I think it is quite fitting that my first venture back into the creative world was this MS awareness wreath for the month of March! Help me spread awareness, and keep an eye open for my new projects in the works this spring.🎗

So it is not exactly the type of "artwork" I usually busy myself with, but this is one of the home projects that has kept me away from my paint brushes since we moved. We bought an oak dining set off of Craigslist, tore it apart, and then used the frame to make the perfect farm table for our dining area. I love how it turned out, and my husband loves it when one of my creative schemes saves him money!

All of the beautiful weather we have been enjoying has given me a terrible case of spring fever! I wish I could snap my fingers today and have the snow outside replaced with a nice bunch of these...
I don't know how I have let the time get away from me, but this move to Denver has really thrown me for a loop, and I have had very little time to paint! I will be posting some pictures of furniture pieces I have done for the new house and some other artsy odds and ends soon!

Here's a painting I just finished for my friend, Keesha Russell's, soon-to-arrive baby girl. I did this to compliment the new nursery bedding. Welcome Keeley! :-)
