New Postcards

I've had little to no motivation to do anything today.

However, I pushed through and finished a second holiday post card. Yay! I've only been working on it for a month or so. I think it was the fact that it's Christmas-y and really I'm not ready for the holidays. I don't think anyone at this point is ready for the holidays. unfortunately, in the world of gift cards, and such things, holiday planning starts in about august. So really, I am far far behind.

Well, they're done!

I think they're pretty cute.

a co-worker gave me the idea of doing holiday post cards vs. a greeting card. First, it saves paper. No envelope to deal with. Second, it saves a little money. You can stick a post card stamp on it and save a few cents :) Brilliant! Thanks co-worker.

Unless, of course, you need to write a lengthy holiday catch up letter, I think post cards are kind of perfect. I never know what to say other than ,

"Merry Christmas! Hope you have a happy new year! -Michele "




So yeah. There you go.

New

It's a beautiful September morning. I feel like September is the prettiest month in Portland. The weather is still warm, the sun shines and there is crisp feel to the air. It's the last hoorah before the rainy, grey, weather sets in.

I'm kind of looking forward to the rainy season. It's so hard for me to focus on gettting art made when the weather outside is perfect. The rain and cold forces me to hunker down and draw. 

Despite the beautiful weather we had yesterday, I managed to get a lot of work done. I listed not one, but two, new items in my Etsy shop! Go me! They're two new postcards.

I also made a curtain for my new office. I say curtain, singular, because it's just one long curtain that stretched across the window. There is something very satisfying for me about making curtains. I suppose that's true for just about any home improvements that I do.

I also bought a new lamp for my little office. It's bright and white and I love it. I'll share pictures soon. I want to get it a little more put together before I post pictures.

Postcards!

Yesterday I picked up the postcard project I've been trying to finish for months now!

Whoohoo!

You can now buy them in my Etsy shop!
If you'd like more, or less, please feel free to contact me. I can always make special arrangements!

Hope everyone is having a great September so far. It's been very hot here... I think Summer was a bit confused this year.
