Public Art – Traffic Signal Box Art for City of Stockbridge

I have been blissfully busy on public art projects this spring! Between my floral wall mural for the Master Gardeners and this recent group of traffic signal box pieces I’ve been painting for the City of Stockbridge, it’s been super rad spending so much time outside painting.

Large Floral Wall Mural at Heritage Park

I had a blast painting this large floral wall mural at Heritage Park with the Henry County Master Gardeners this month!

The Master Gardeners reached out to me recently to create a community mural for the pollinator garden they’re creating next to the Nolan House. This piece of artwork I had illustrated for another call for art fit the bill so perfectly:

Custom Playing Cards Illustration – Valentine���s Day Edition

I had the best time making Valentine���s Day cards for my family this year!

Trying to come up with ideas recently, I started thinking of what I could draw as a greeting card for each individual family member. Which led me to thinking about how full and crazy and amazing our life is right now.

A full house, if you will.

And then boom. Of course, full house Valentines! With everyone as custom playing cards illustrations!

Germinating Seeds Indoors Using an Instapot with No Yogurt Setting

I’m feeling like a big ol’ nerd with how excited I am over germinating seeds indoors this morning! Like, the excitement is huge. Huge enough to blog about it.

That’s like super OG nerd status, you guys.

So y’all know I’m on the marathon of my gardening life with learning how to successfully garden in the South. We moved to Georgia in 2012 from Long Beach, California. That last garden we had in SoCal… we literally just threw seeds in the ground; later that summer we were canning for DAYS.

My Bobblehead Dwight Schrute Painting is the First of its Kind!

I first got the idea to do a bobblehead Dwight Schrute painting a couple of years ago. You know me – I’m all about ridiculousness. One day, I was exploring and just playing around in my sketchbook, trying to come up with ideas for what my next painting would be.

I posted a picture of an empty canvas on my easel and asked my community to give me wrong answers only as to what would be painted there.

Someone mentioned Bobblehead Dwight, and that started gnawing at the back of my head. I coul...

Free Download: Hiking Notebook for Kids

I’ve got a new free download to share that I’m really excited about! Joy’s a Webelos in Cub Scouts this year, and her den leader mentioned to a couple of us parents that he was looking to make a mini hiking notebook for the scouts to take on their adventure.

I’m taking a very laid-back role in scouting this year as it’ll be our last, and life is just life.

But looking at his example for 5 seconds, I knew this was something that was absolutely in my design wheelhouse that I could take car...

Thanksgiving Party Napkins for Design Design

I’m so jazzed to share some Thanksgiving party napkins I got to create ridiculousness for with you! This Monday a friend of mine reminded me that OMG THANKSGIVING IS NEXT WEEK.

Mom life, you get it – every day is a blur, and then all of a sudden you get a moment to think straight and remember a major holiday is coming up in like a week. Thanksgiving isn’t a major holiday for some, but it’s one of my faves. Just an entire day of cooking and eating and then the napping. Ohhhhh, the napping.
