lucky

We are really lucky to have some very talented artists among our family and friends.

My husband's Aunt sent this watercolor portrait of our little guy last week and it is now in our frame gallery above the sofa.

Isn't it beautiful? 

You might have noticed I don't share pictures of our son on the blog.  We decided not to when the blog began but I had to share this lovely piece of art.  It really captures our sweet boy.

I met with a cabinet maker this morning to talk about building more cabinets for our kitchen.  I'm so nervous and excited to hear back from him.  If the price is right we'll be going ahead with it.  I practically dream of more storage... sigh.

Have a great weekend!  I saw a sign for an estate sale tomorrow near our house, I'm there!

making the cut

I did it.

I cut the artwork.

But I have to tell you I'm glad I did.  I kept one in its original condition and framed it.  This is the one that the little guy did totally solo.

The other I was asked a few times " Mama you do" and so I made a brush stroke or two.  It was still his vision...

There were such excellent sections of it that I felt moved to chop it up,

and I'm glad I did because look how great they look

It's alright.  When he is rich and famous they will still be incredibly valuable even in their altered state.
