First off I just want to thank you for your comments yesterday. Have you ever posted something and then kind of had blogger's remorse? I was a little nervous revealing so much about myself. I thought you might think I was self absorbed or wacky to say the least, but you supported me with the nicest comments. That is what this crazy blogging community is all about and I just love it!
One of my favorite artists is Bella Pilar. She uses fashion and women to create some of the most gorgeous paintings ever. I am just in love. You can find her cards at Target or anywhere they sell Papyrus. I have "reproduced" my version of her art on many occasions.
This last one is in my closet. Isn't it fun? Who do you draw inspiration from? I've read that Bella gets her inspiration from Fashion magazines. I tend to become inspired by cards, children's books or photographs.
This is what we did last night. I just have to brag on my honey a bit. He hates home improvement stuff and yet when he got home from work last night he actually asked me if I wanted him to work on this for me. I've got a keeper:)
My work space was so dark and dreary I didn't really ever feel like painting. So now I have no excuses. I love the new track lighting!!
Have a blessed day!

I love her cards! Your versions turned out great! Very cute! That pic of your hubby made me laugh. He looks thrilled. :) That was so nice of him to put that lighting in for you. It looks great!
Great post! I have never seen Bella Pilar before, love those - although I actually prefer your versions - honestly - love that first drawing of yours you have shown.
And your "workspace" is gorgeous - wow! I love letters on a wall.
I thought your post yesterday was great - I LOL at "bloggers remorse"...great phrase! You WERE brave taking that photo, it will be some time before I do that....mind you, if I looked like that first thing in the morning, I would post one today....you looked GREAT!!
Have a happy day!

PS Love the music you have playing on here.....I've got it on as background music while I am doing my housework in the kitchen :)
I am inspired by chocolate cake, and the Austin Powers line "Get in my bel-lay!"
Seriously, inspiration for me comes in the form of "Ooo, I want ot copy that."
Does that count?
I never have original craft ideas.
BTW yesterday's list was BRAVE. Totally brave.
Yes, I have had bloggers remorse before...but mine turned out much like yours. (Thankfully!)
Your space looks adorable! What a great guy!

Blogger's Remorse....with almost every post. Even though the people who read my blog are unfailingly supportive and kind, somehow everything I write seems so SILLY, after I hit that "Publish Post" button.
May I say how incredibly jealous I am of your creative space? It is lovely, and bright and fun....much as I imagine you must be!
Those are neat cards I have never seen them. Love your work space...so bright and fun now!
Love your studio!! Those little ladies are cute, too!!

Love Bella Pilar...I spend way too much time and money in Papyrus! Your guy is definitely a keeper! :)
Love the track lighting! How great is that?!
Love this and that your husband stayed a keeper! Thank you for posting some of your paintings and what inspires you. You did not know I am your secret Life Coach, now did you? SMILE!

I understand the blogger's remorse thing totally. I say everything I shouldn't and that naturally carries over into my writing. I say these things, and then wonder why on earth I ever said them? But the nice thing, is that our blogs seem to be filled with loving, supportive women who are doing life just like we are, and somehow... they just "get it." It's a beautiful thing.
I laughed when you said you honey didn't like to do home improvement projects. If my husband can hire it done, he will! That's why last week when I brought home cabinet knobs, he got a fever and chills. I'm kidding. He did it, but he really wasn't looking forward to it and needed an icecream bar to sustain him after the first hour. I didn't blame him.
Your art is the cutest! I love the idea for your closet. I just never enjoy my closet, and I've been thinking I need to do something like, oh.. .organize it. It's my one messy place that I just don't care about in my entire house. Love your creativity.
Have a blessed day friend,
Sasha
I like your closet! :) Great track lighting in your workspace!
I love your new work space! You have given me inspiration to do something with my work space at home! Thank you!!! I also have a question for you. On your post titles...how did you get the font that you wanted in the html code? I have been trying to figure it out but can't seem to. Thanks for you help in advance!
I can tell you are fun to hang out with cause you like color in your life!!!!! Cute paintings. Love the track lighting. I bet that makes a world of difference. You job hubby!
I meant to say good job to your hubby. Proof reading would be good...lol
WOW! Love it!
Your husband IS a KEEPER!!!
Soooo cute!! I just think that it's the best!
I can't wait to see more.
I too can't wait to see more. I love how this space is coming along! SO EXCITED 4 you...
LOVED your last post! Self absorbed?!? That never crossed my mind!
Keep all the great posts coming!
I think you just coined a new term: "blogger's remorse." Boy, I think we've all had that! I'm always a little nervous about hitting that "publish" button. :-)
Bella Pilar's artwork is so fun. And congrats on your new lighting! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
It is perfect....Working on my studio right now, I need a break so I am blog hoping. Kara
