Lets tour my living room/dining room!
OK! I finally, finally got a rug for my living room. It was dang cheap and huge and turned out just about perfect. Its soft, thin, tough enough for two boys, but cheap enough for me to not have a conniption when they ruin it.
My art table is hidden behind the rocker, you can see my crate/display case poking out...
The mantel. (Carrie, look! I actually used the string I stole from you.)
And the view into the dining room.
We are currently working on painting our bedroom and I hope we can build our headboard in the next few weeks. Then I'll give you a tour of that space.

Merry Christmas!
We had a glorious Christmas this past week. Hope you did too.
The night before, the kids were pretty stoked
Then the big day came. Des saw his present from santa
which quickly turned into
You can't win 'em all I suppose. (his day was an emotional roller coaster. When did I get a 12 year old girl for a child??)
Gray loved his gift
so that's good.
Be back in January.

Coming up for air
Well, hey there! I can't believe its been a month. But I just finished my last Christmas portrait for My Sweet Rose and it feels great. I've painted 18 house portraits now and I still love it. But I do feel a need to step back and take a break after cranking them out these past few weeks (which more than half of those have been painted.) My eyeballs hurt.
Things at the Davies' have been a little interesting lately. We've been to the dr's way too often and have paid so. many. co-pays. Its a little ridiculous. But I have high hopes! We have a cream for pretty much anything you can think of and we're pro's when it comes to "how close to death can a baby get before you really need medical attention". At least when it comes to dehydration and what-not. I really hope 2013 is a healthier year all around.
On a lighter note, we went on our annual "Davies Tree-Hunt" earlier this month. It was 20 minutes of awesome. Usually we have to trek around in a foot of snow and hike up the mountain and back before finding an acceptable tree. Not this time. It was two minutes of walking in when we found it, then we walked around for another 15 minutes just to make sure it was the best option. Oh and it was generally nice weather and zero snow. yeah!
And just for kicks this was the boys last year:

Because I love ya
and I'd like to fill up my week...
Family and friends: I'm waiting on a lady (who I guess works at Sony Pictureworks) who's really busy and keeps forgetting to send me the photos to finish her house portraits. Are there people out there who'd like a deal on a house portrait? The catch: you gotta get me pics quick, like today. I'll do a deal : $50 a house. bam. lol
Perhaps no one wants one, and that's ok too. but I figured I'd put it out there.
What I need as far as pictures: clear enough photos of the desired domicile. An iPhone takes really good pictures. I need one straight on and then any to show details or whatever i need to see. that's it.
I'll send you an invoice via paypal and bing.bang.done.
So get crackin'. (or clickin') and let me know in the comments.
post edit: oh and there's probably only 4 or so spots so first come, first served.

Gettin' all gussied up
did some changing around on this blog of mine. First, I'm super excited for Christmas. Des has fully excepted the fact that he can ask for toys and there's a really good chance he'll get one from Santa. Its awesome. Second, all the Christmas songs are all new to him so he loves listening in the car (dad doesn't let us turn them on at home yet. boo.) Third, I'm excited to decorate (minimally but still--decorate!) because Des gets excited about that too. Pretty much: Des has achieved cognitive awareness this year so it makes all the holiday's way more fun.
The biggest change here, besides my wallpaper, is the cute little widget -----> over there. Its a direct link to my shop! awww. Just in case you feel the need to mosey on over there (yes I Googled "mosey" because have you ever tried spelling that word? Its a weird one.)
My house illustrations are coming along nicely, I have a few more spots I can squeeze in some more for Christmas if you're interested. Local-yocals get free shipping because I don't ship, I hand deliver. What service! And I'm still trying to get "likes" on my facebook page. If I get 36 I'll do a give-away! Woo! So tell your friends, you mother, your aunts. My mom finally "liked" me so you don't have to tell her. (hi mom! thanks for being my friend.)
the end.
(now go like my facebook page "my sweet rose") :D
