Wordless Wednesday and then some
It has been raining here–a lot. Took these shots over at my mom’s place of my dad’s pond. This is my childhood place. *End Wordless Wednesday*
Things are suddenly crazy busy. I finished moving the big web site over to the new server and suddenly have tons of art projects, all vying for my immediate attention.
- Working on a picture book with hubby. It may go no where but regardless it is a fun project and since my husband is a wonderful word-smith, it is as funny as heck. We are having a great time and this is shaping up to be a very cute and funny book.
- Working on illustrations for another writer who sent me a cute story. Don’t know if anything will come of it but it is a fun project as well.
- Working on the art classes, still have several more to write plus interacting with all the great kids, and adults, who are involved.
- Have a commission to do–got it in the email last night. Need to get printer up and running so I can print out the image so I can get started. It is a beautiful photo and I can’t wait to work from it.
- Came up with another story idea for hubby to work on last night–based very loosely on an illustration he had me do for a mini-comic he is posting (probably not safe for kids–his site is a geek site about games and whatnot and I would consider most of his writing PG.)
- Have some more website work I REALLY need to do, several need designed, another needs information added, another needs some basic maintenance.
- Need to produce some children’s art that is sell-able (hubby says not to sell the bunnies) for a children’s art gallery/sales site that has shown interest in my work.
- The kids? Oh yeah them. They are happily keeping busy playing outside, reading TONS of books (got 20 out of the library yesterday and Rachel has already gone through 4 of them), playing Wii, playing board games.
- Finally, I have moved over to Imagekind from Zazzle (Zazzle didn’t play nice with my Ubuntu with Firefox 3 and when I emailed them they told me to install IE7–um, no. They didn’t even bother to read that I CAN’t–not theat I would if I could. Ick.) I am THRILLED with ImageKind. It is an art print site instead of a product site. I am really enjoying it all around and have had no trouble with any part iof it. If you do photography or art and are interested in having prints available to customers I would definitely recommend them–Danielle, this means you.
wow! Perfect one for WW! mine’s up too hope you can visit my corner.
I love dogwood
Beautiful photographs! And I enjoyed the update – when it rains, it pours, yes? Blessings to you and your family as you deal with the sudden busy, crazy pile of to-dos! I hate IE, too, it seems to crash our other applications all the time.
The photos are gorgeous. They make me want to have a picnic. Sounds like you could use one, too. 🙂 I’m glad your art is going well. I always like to see how God uses our talents and interests.
Now, you do not need to hurry on Mom’s project – it will be a Christmas gift for Grace’s Mommy. However, I am glad you like the photo. Grace’s Mommy took it and I think she has a keen eye (and I know she has a good camera).
I really like the comp of the first photo…
With a list that long and views like that, I would have a hard time getting anything done that did not involve a blanket out by the pond!
I bet you don’t have alligators either?? EVERY ‘puddle’ in Florida has a gator in it. So I reallllly love this haven in the pic.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Nature photos always are, aren’t they?
LOVE crazy busy. Summer time is for that!
ohhhh those trees are incredible. soooo beautiful. i’d love a couple in my yard!
ps i washed the baby sleepers you sent me today and doing that has caused me to become TOTALLY excited! i can’t wait to put this little one inside them!!!!! soon! soon! soon!
