A little inspired

by Julliette Crane and Lifebook on a sad dark babe-really-sick type week!  I held my girl for four days while she did her sick thing all over me, held on to that fever, and crashed in my arms.  It was bitter sweet, and depressing too.

And in dark times, I say paint bright.  I was totally unable to really get in my studio and do my thing, but I was able to watch Miss Crane's Lifebook lesson and whip up a little sweet mama Koala!

I hope you like her.


at one point tonight, if I don't crash first, I will linky up to PPF and try oh so hard to visit everyone this week!


babe and I at my desk.  She is feverishly crashed on me. This was like day four of being in the house and I was starting to go a little stir crazy.  I thought she was getting better, and I got so hopeful of getting out that day!  ...she's all swell and well now, making us all crazy with her energy now, so no worries!!!

oh, and if you've comment on some of my tattoo posts, and have been so curious as what is going on on that back of mine... click HERE!!!  Woot!

  6. My babies have just come down with something yesterday afternoon, so I am in the thick of it at the moment, just taking some moments. I love this koala. Sometimes creating when I am in the thick of it is one of the only things that lets me retain my sanity (what I have left of it!! :))

  10. Is there anything tougher than sick little people? Sounds like a rough few days, SO SO glad to hear she's feeling better. We have strep going around in our area and I'm making everyone wash their hands off! Love your koala, love your style..I can see something out of the corner of my eye and know if it's yours, you have a unique look all your own and I love it!
