How Wonderful Life is…

I am suffering from a serious case of ADD lately.  I should be posting more about the Handbuilt Bedroom, but I keep waiting for some LIGHT outside to I can take some better pictures INside.

 Hasn’t happened yet.

Then while my little girl was sick last week, I started painting our downstairs bathroom.  I mixed some colors I had on hand for the walls, but decided I hated it after I had done all the cutting in.  Plus I ran out of paint before I could finish the ceiling, and haven’t gotten back to it yet!

Then there’s my little girls’ room…I bought new beds for them off of Craigslist a couple of weeks ago, and sold their bunk beds right out from under them…so they’ve been sleeping on mattresses on the floor while I try to get motivated to work on their space!

Well, in their case, I have done a couple of things.  I got inspired to work on some artwork for their as-yet-unpainted walls!

Here’s the first…

Red Hen Home 030

(the “o” is a little globe, in case you can’t tell!)

…and the second…

Red Hen Home 027

…and the third!

Red Hen Home 031

I have had a three-pack of 9x12 canvases sitting in my closet for oh, about a year now…  Glad to have finally done something with them!

Red Hen Home 033

I will eventually make these designs available in my Etsy shop.  E-mail me at redhenhome@gmail.com if you’re interested before then!

Babies Don’t Keep!

We welcomed a new addition our family on July 25. My nephew and his beautiful wife had a beautiful baby boy!

I was 14 years old when his father was born, and he looks SO much like his dad did that it tugs at my heartstrings!

I sent this canvas as a baby gift:

It’s my favorite reminder that babyhood—and childhood—should be enjoyed, because they are over too quickly.

Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow

For babies grow up, we’ve learned to our sorrow.

So quiet down, cobwebs; dust, go to sleep,

I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep!

So hug those babies today…no matter how old they are!!
