Fun and Easy kitchen curtains!

After almost 5 years of living in my house I’m finally getting around to putting up curtains in my kitchen.  Y’all don’t know how excited I am!  I could never find any fabric that was suitable…couldn’t decide the colors I wanted….the usual.  The one and only window is an odd size (25″ height, 52″ width).  I didn’t want to hang something and cover up the only source of natural light in my wonderful green kitchen.  So, while browsing online I saw these awesome Marimekko napkins which are the perfect size to make little cafe curtains. No sewing required.  I bought three of them (left, center, right), going to get a tension rod and some clip rings. So easy!  Also, I’m totally obsessed with pom pom fringe right now so I’ll be adding red poms to the bottom.  I’ll have to sew those on, but it will be worth it.  

Spring = busy, busy, busy

I was just thinking that it’s been forever since I posted anything on my website, but honestly, it was only about 2 weeks ago.  Time flies when you’re having fun….and super busy!  I have some new art venues lined up for the next few months (more to come on that soon).  Mostly, I’ve been working on Random Dwellings.  One was for my mom for mother’s day, one for my mother-in-law (which I’m just now remembering I forgot to take a photo of), another for my friend Renee who has a super cute little peach house, and another commission that I got on Etsy.

I did a Random Dwelling of my mom’s house for Christmas, so I did one of her three rent houses for Mother’s Day.  The little green house is actually a new B&B  called Josephine’s House (website coming soon, but for now check out https://www.facebook.com/JosephinesHouse). My mom told me the other day that some people refer to this street as “Popsicle St.” since all the houses are fun colors.  Which brings me to Renee’s Random Dwelling…she lives on the same street.

This last RD was for a lady in Dallas.  She wanted her trees to look like they had been TP-ed which I thought was just awesome!

I will be painting more animal portraits as soon as I get another shipment of canvases.

 

Treasures of Pointe Coupee Art Show

Initially I was going to submit Debbie for the Treasures of Pointe Coupee art show, but in the end I decided to go with Ruth.  Out of all the paintings I did this past weekend Ruth is my favorite…I think because it has orange, blue, and green in it which are my favorite.  Plus, I hardly ever paint with orange so maybe I just think THAT is cool.  Ha!  Ruth will still be for sale at the art show June 1 – 3 so if you want her you’ll just have to wait until then!

Ethel & Lillian – 30×40 Painting

30″x40″ Acrylic on Canvas

I don’t usually do paintings with more than one subject, but I think this one came out super cute.  Blake says that they remind him of two old lady friends (I think it’s the poofy white hair on Lillian).  By the way, Ethel is the cow and Lillian is the sheep.

 

Ethel & Lillian are also featured in my Etsy shop:
