Cory decided we were making a mural.

The Ape Cave is a lava tube cave from an eruption of Mt St Helens that happened a couple thousand years ago.

It is a beautiful place and a fun one to go to on a frequent interval as the seasonal changes are really awesome.

My husband bought these dining chairs as a set of 6 while living in Texas. I love them. They are comfortable and I think the longhorn has a great southwest vibe that I can’t help but love. When the fabric on the seat started getting worn on a few (mostly ripped at the edges) I knew they needed to be reupholstered soon.

Newest art collaboration with Cory doing all the woodwork and the painting, drawing, and design done by myself. The bear-shaped frame is leftover from the interior of another cutout we did a while back.

…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…
