Good Night, Sleep Tight

"Good Night, Sleep Tight".. wouldn't that be lovely... I'm writing this after a pretty decent night's sleep - for having a 2 month old baby. Since having this little baby, a good night of sleep is something that I dream about! This cute little cat cradle was painted for Breck School's annual applause auction. I believe it's my third year of painting something for the auction, previous items were an ABC table and chair set and the "Get on Board" table and chairs. (click on the Furniture label on the right to see). I was happy to paint it for my school, and even happier when I saw who received the doll cradle in the end. Now ... back to bed for a quick little snooze before you-know-who wakes up.

Fall Art Show : 3D work.

So... I was invited to show some of my work at my school's gallery. I am sharing the gallery with another art teacher, and a lot of her work is 2D, so I did a lot more 3D..(with some 2D.). I'm thankful to have the opportunity to show some of my items . .and looking forward to seeing the other art work! Here is a taste of some of the items:

"Get on Board" Table and Chairs

Another great opportunity to paint an item for my school's annual auction! The theme for this year's auction is "Get on Board", and so I was asked to paint something train-like. ... and here it is! A kind parent delivered the table and chairs to my house, and I just finished painting them last week... I hope that they do well!

Calvin's sister, Charlotte....

...So I teach at a school where I have had various roles, including a few years as Preschool teacher. For the past 2 years, I had this fun little boy named Calvin in the class. Well- his family wanted me to paint a growth chart (still working on it...*actually*... haven't started it quite yet...) and this bookcase for his little sister, Charlotte. Calvin's nanny pre-painted the bookcase for me, and they all wanted butterflies and flowers for Charlotte. I'm just super glad that it's done, and I hope that they like it! Now on to many other paintings..

ABC Table and Chairs

I painted this table and these chairs for my school's annual fundraiser. I think that this "job" was my favorite, as I was so happy with the outcome. I had posted it earlier, however, I like to post it again as it is my favorite! I am currently working on painting a bookcase and growth chart that I will post once they are finished.....

"Sweet Dreams" Cradle

So... Awhile ago, I painted some items for a sale.. and this one is still around. My aunt had given me this old doll cradle to paint something on, and so I added this Sweet Dreams Pig and some delicious treats to dream about along the sides. I haven't really been in any sales since, so I still have this cradle, but sometimes think about making it into a canvas painting that could go over some child's (or my) bed. ...Although I don't think that my husband would care for a painting of a pig and cakes and brownies over the bed.......(maybe just the brownies....)

Carly's Table and Chairs

So... my brother, Josh, and his wife, Jen, asked me to paint this paisley pattern that they had found and loved on a table and chair for their daughter, Carly. A pretty fun job, and cool pattern to paint. Kind of nice to have family to "hire" me for these paintings, as the paintings and furniture add to my portfolio and they get to keep the work!

Isaac's Elephant Chair

I was asked to paint this little chair by a friend named Rob...and he was going to give it to his nephew, Isaac, for Christmas. Well... Isaac loved the chair, so did his family, etc.. and I ended up marrying Rob. (long story short).

Painted Table and Chair

Here are some photos from a table and chair that I painted 2 Aprils ago. I painted it for my school's annual fundraiser, along with an additional donation that a person bought for me to paint a mural at their house. I did that mural later on last summer, but it's not my favorite mural... Oh well.. they can't all be my favorite...
Anyway. Something to start the "updated" blog with. Painted table and chairs...
