I am a 'list' person.  The more I can cross off my 'to do' list the bigger my smile gets.

So, after putting the kids to bed I decided that tonight was the night to tackle revising my blog.  I wanted something a bit 'cleaner' looking with less 'stuff' to sift thru.  I am so excited to share this new look with you!

Another major 'to do' on my list was creating and delivering a collection of work to Prairie Hearth (located in Fremont, Nebraska).  Check!  If you are in the neighborhood, stop by the shop and check out my latest work...

Last, but not least I found a new way to edit my photos!  I have been boo-hooing over the closing of Picnik.  Seriously...pouting.  Tonight I tried their recommended PicMonkey.com and LOVED IT!  I could play with their editing options for hours.  Sooo much fun and really user-friendly. 



Guess which one is my favorite?

Okay...seriously?!...Easter was the last time I posted?!  EEEEEK.

Well, I've boxed up and mailed off my designs to The Hearthside Collection.  Standing in a sea of bubble wrap and tissue paper, it's a bittersweet moment.  I can feel a weight off my shoulders that I've reached my goal and am proud of the collection I've designed.  Along with that comes some anxiety...knowing that they are out of my hands and that I desperately want them to arrive on time and in perfect shape.

I'm now working on new pieces for Prairie Hearth.  'Trying to focus on 'everyday' items that would be a great fit for spring and summer.  With the warm weather we've been having, I've been outside trying to spruce up my outside decor a bit.  I am in LOVE with these giant polka-dot pinwheels from Hobby Lobby.   

This summer I'll need to focus on preparing for the busy fall/winter season.  Before long I'll be stocking up on burnt orange...painting pumpkins is right around the corner for me.

HaPpY EaSteR!!!
