In progress


Here's what I'm working on. Aren't they cute?
This is just a crop. The actual painting is bigger. I still need to add words and do some work on the background.
For now though, the snow seems to have subsided so I'm going to head out and do some restocking. The kids are at school. Two hour delay, but at least they went. They were all ready.
Big weekend coming up what with the Super Bowl and all. Eli turns 16 on Monday. We'll probably celebrate on Sunday since he has a hockey game monday night. Only 3 games left before play-off games start.
I'm hoping he's in no hurry to start driving. I don't think I can take it. Aaron's been driving on his own for two weeks now. Will I ever get used to it? I'm sure I will, but for now I get this panic-y, helpless feeling every time he leaves. Plus I give him a giant hug each time he returns safely. I don't think I can take that X 2 just yet.
Anyway, I better get moving before it starts snowing again.
My swap item will be going out today and if you stopped by my Etsy update on Monday and made a purchase that will be going out today too.
Happy Thursday!

  1. Very cute painting! We are snowed in here south of St. Louis too. No school again today! Jordan (16)is ready to take his driving test too. I hate thinking of him driving. His sisters were so much more cautious! Once when he was at the wheel for practice I yelled at him to slow down and he said, "Mom, I've been driving remote control cars all my life, I think i know what I'm doing!" I couldn't believe he said that with a straight face!! Geez, they are just kids! Good luck with getting Eli to wait a while!

    Oh my goodness, I know just how you feel when your son leaves the house to drive on his own. I'm going through that right now. I feel like I can't breath until he gets back. But...I know I have to let him go.

    As always, your art is so smile inspiring.

  6. Adorable as always Di! Isn't being a mother hard when you have to learn to let go? I don't think we ever get used to it. Always a mom . . .
