My Math-Magician

Before school broke for Christmas vacation, we received a call from the school inviting us to attend a award ceremony for Tabytha.

My fool of a husband didn’t even think to ask what the award was for (duh!) and it wasn’t until days later that Tabytha was awarded…

The kindergarten Math-Magician award! Artistic and smart… heehee… just like her momma!
;o)

It’s Starting to Look Like Christmas

Like most Decembers, we’re busy preparing for the holidays and as usual… everyone is sick. When I looked outside today, I just had to stop and pause…

Across the street…

Some Family Fun

Summer is coming to a close and school will be back in session soon. While I look forward to having some extra time on my hands, I sure will miss these fun summer moments…

Well… Hello Wheatabix!

Even the dogs have a blast down at the beach. Woozle’s off digging for gold…

Lil Bean Sprout

Has sprouted… her own home grown beans fresh from the garden! The one she and Daddy grew for the very first time.

It was a very exciting moment for this little proud mama!

A Silver Lining

A storm was a brewing in the distance, but there it was… the silver lining. Not nearly as beautiful as in person.

What a Sweet Set!

I just finished a sweet set of handpainted canvas art for a customer. From left to right – Made in Heaven, Sweet Child of Mine and Always & Forever.

For each, I use a print on canvas as the underlay and then add a load of handpainted embellishments… by the time it’s finished, it really is a painting.

The canvas is then wrapped around a wooden framed with the sides painted black so that the art just pops in contrast.

These are some of my very favorites!

The Three Amigos

Tonight Tabytha and Austin met up with one of their favorite friends. Her name is Samantha too. ;o)

After hours of chasing and climbing, it’s wonderful to watch them playing quietly together… laughing and smiling. Reminds me of some of my favorite childhood moments.

The hard part is leaving… of course. That’s when we get the infamous “not happy” faces and “but mom”s.

Okay… Just five more minutes.

Fun at the Marina

TwoLittleWitches — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:26:58 +0000

Most afternoons we end up heading over to one of the parks in our neighborhood. Tonight was the Marina Park which is just down the street and within walking distance. Good exercise for us parents.

In keeping with the theme, the play structure is a marooned pirate ship with multilevel decks, ladders… the works! Needless to say the kids love it.

And the view is spectacular as boats sail in and out of the marina.

Sweet Blessings

TwoLittleWitches — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 06:27:06 +0000

Well it’s finally finished and I just love how it turned out. A birthday present to myself perhaps? These are some of my sweet blessings…

Some things are so important to our being, we know not what we would do without them… Sweet blessings from Heaven.

Prints available…

Always love to hear comments on my artworks!

Where’s Waldo?

TwoLittleWitches — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:35:09 +0000

Five years ago we took in a stray cat my husband John found wandering the streets of Ottawa. We called her Wilbur… not a very feminine name, but it just seems to fit her.

She loves to hide in the strangest places…

Of course this makes it really hard to find her because, as it turns out, she’s absolutely deaf. So every night we all play a game…

Where’s Wilbur?
