Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

It's the Little Things linkup!


 I woke up this morning with happiness rolling around in my head. No particular reason, just happy with life. Despite Silas fighting (aka screaming his head off) sleep every day and night this week, it's been a good one. And plus, he's sleeping in my arms right now (I'm typing this with one hand), so that's smile-worthy for sure. Below are some of the little joys making me smile this morning. 



This baby loves his baths. I think he's going to take to water like his daddy. Also, baby in a hooded towel is pretty much the best thing ever. 



Boots! I've been searching for a pair of boots for the past two years, Yes, I'm picky. I found TWO pairs last night! And just in time for the cold weather that has arrived in Florida this week!


Are baby sweater vests not the cutest things?? Besides hooded towels, I guess. Si is gonna be stylin' this Christmas.


Chris had to wear his dress uniform for work pictures today. He's handsome in shorts and a tee around the house, but gosh, dress him up and my heart gets all fluttery.


And finally, I continue to be thankful for the creativity that has someway found itself back in my system. Current project in the studio is working on finishing these sketches so I can turn them into prints for the shop!
