the ever growing to- do list.....

Wow, I feel swamped with projects that have got to be complete within the next 2 weeks! I'm not complaining though. I feel blessed just to have work to do during this economic time... but still... sheesh... I'm a little stressed. So to help keep me accountable here's my art to-do list....

1) art birthday party at P'zazz tomorrow

2) blank canvases represent- 2 nursery pictures for a client, one palette knife painting on commission

3) Come up with some super cool ideas on how to turn this old table into a cool piece of furniture. This isn't really my project. I'm just helping out a friend. She's surprising a girl with a whole new bedroom re-model! So fun! I love those kind of things!

4) Paint my new art desk! I excited about having my own space.. but I've got to get it looking cute so I can be inspired as I work

5) Paint this to match our bedroom!

6) Gotta finish this floor mat for the restaurant downtown. My husband accidentally spilled paint all over it so now we gotta start over. What should have been completed tonight will probably take another week since I have to try to find the time to go get the material, cut it to size, and squeeze paint time in between Kloe's nap time.

7) Paint idea designs for upcoming adult art classes!

No sleep for me this week!

Back to blogging...

Ok, I know, I know.. I'm the worst blogger ever. I never update this thing. Here's the thing I started the blog with the intentions of posting my newest pieces of art. And although I've been a paintin' like crazy I haven't painted for myself in a while. I've been doing commission work, painting sample pieces for my children's art classes, art birthday parties, adult classes, adult parties, and the list goes on and on.

I also haven't had a clear vision as to what I should blog about. There are so my different areas of life... my art, running a small business, my family, causes I care about, decorating and design, my faith, my classes, yada yada yada.

Soooooo, you're just gonna get a little bit of all of it. Yes, this will mostly be on the creative side of things but every once in a while you may get a glimpse of Kloe and all of her new adventures.

I hope you'll be inspired as you take a peak in my world.

Here is what's happening this week! A new restaurant in town is proudly displaying my student's art work ( and some of mine too!). This is going to be our very own revolving gallery so that the kids can see their art hanging in a public place! They are so excited and that makes me excited!

Also, this week at the studio we'll be painting floor mats for our adult class. Everyone gets to pick their own colors and design. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

Charlie's Lunch Art Sale

Many of you know that my little studio, P'zazz, has adopted a feeding center in Zambia through the organization Charlie's Lunch. It is our goal to fully fund the feeding center for a year. Each month we dedicate the first Thursday's art class to fund our feeding center. In addition to our art classes we are also having an art sale. Any piece of art that you buy from now until June 4th will go towards "Charlie's Lunch". Yes, 100% will go towards our feeding center. You get a piece of art plus you'll feed the mouths of precious children across the world. Thank you in advance!
