…how happy I was to discover Hulga Klager’s Lilac Garden in Woodland, WA and their Lilac Days where they have a sort of mini festival each spring!

… instead of a new swing, we fixed it up and made it better than new.

I have had a few more Jelly commissions..

Yesterday Cory and I hiked at the coast to get pictures for an upcoming painting commission.

We had just driven over 4,000 miles round trip and spent three and a half weeks away from home…

When I found out I was going to be an aunt I decided I was going to make a painting for my new niece to start her art collection, and that every year I would make her a new one…

My husband has always wanted the ability to work remotely to be able to travel more often..

My husband and I met on Tinder in October of 2014 when he was driving cross-country. Yeah it still sounds a little crazy to me, too.

I wasn’t especially attached to this chair when I moved in with my now husband, but as it is so comfortable it has become a favorite and being in disrepair I needed to save it.
