OMG it is Friday!

One week of school down!  Son doing great, mom, well I am getting a little used to it.

I am working on more Halloween pics, think one is done. Really I don't feel it is done but I just had to stop tinkering with it and say DONE. I only want to work one more week on Halloween and then get some Christmas started. Maybe an occasional fall image.  Definitely need to get the other motorcycle images on products.  I will start that Tuesday because of the holiday on Monday!


Hope all enjoy the weekend and the Labor Day holiday!  
I will be back on Tuesday!

Today I will show you one of my recent sales!

Violin

This was a really rough image from an vintage source, I did some repair and slight altering to make it a nice simple graphic.  I have sold many and below is the most recent.  Check all the products here

Getting into a new routine.

Well now comes in scheduling.  My son loves school so far.  The bus pickup is a bit wild on time as they get the routine together so we have to be there early but end up staying quite awhile. We will see it iron itself out in time!

I haven't got much done the past week, I figure I will just do what I can until things settle in.  I have a few Halloween images I am repairing and hope to have them done this week but really not likely! Sales has been steady, starting to pick up with the holidays coming.

Today I will show a Thanksgiving/Fall design!

Thanksgiving Watercolor

Just some minor color repair and some major digital tuning to turn into this cool artwork! Check out the products here.

First Day of School

Late in posting, keeping my son occupied until the afternoon bus.  Will definitely have pictures tomorrow.
EXCITING!

No showcase today, too nervous.  I think I am more upset than my son...but I am hiding it!  It will all come out after he boards the bus and I am left by myself, tearing up, and thinking how fast he has grown.

One day to go!

Don't know if there will be much of a post tomorrow.  I am not having much of a post today!  I am just about to leave in the next 5 minutes to get my son to his appointments today.  Tomorrow is first day of kindergarten and I will be snapping pictures!!! 

Stay Tuned....

Friday!!

Going to attempt to rotisserie a large roast on the grill today.  Slowly and for hours so lets get ready for DINNER.  Something different to try, hope it works!

Got all the Halloween images that I finished posted online and hope to get a few more ready today. Having a great week in sales, keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a good holiday sales season.  I don't know if I could ever get to the point where Zazzle will amount to paying all my bills each month.  Right now I can cover a car payment plus a bit saved for insurance when it comes due.  That is great in its own and never thought I could achieve that much in sales.  I am sure if I keep at it I will see increased sales.

Today I have another motorbike!

Watercolor Vintage Motorcycle

Most of these images needed work on the color and some blemishes removed.  I like this one with its scenic background, check over 100 products the artwork is on here.

Sometimes time moves so slowly...

Then there are days that just fly by and this is one of those times.  I know I just counted 22 days till kindergarten and now it is 5 days!  Where did the time go.  My son did great at the dentist yesterday.  So proud of him!

I posted another Halloween print yesterday and hope to get another today and the last on Friday. I still have more fall images to repair and collage. Can not go beyond August with them so I can get a few Christmas added and of course the regular fare.

Today I have a collage.

Vintage Pocket Knife Art

A vintage image and some cool texture combined to make an interesting piece! Check it out here.

6 days to go!

6 days till my son starts kindergarten!  OMG! We have a dentist visit this morning and some more school prep. Meet the teacher tomorrow!  Wow, I still am in disbelief that he is school age now.  It seems like yesterday he was born.  I will definitely be needing tissues...even now I am tearing up.

I have been working on adding more designs but not as much because of the appointments this week and getting things together for my son.  I probably won't be back in full swing until the middle of next week as I will need to adjust being away from him, we have been together every day since his birth.  It will be harder for me than him.

I am not ready to showcase the fall designs, still not ready to give up summer, but here is a new design I recently did.

Binocular Pop Art

A cool vintage image of binoculars! Check them out here.  Always handy to have a pair.

Tuesday

Did some more work online yesterday afternoon.  I don't want to jinx it but doing very well in sales lately.  I want to keep the new products coming and the variety to broaden my sales as well.

Showcase time!

I like this bike, looks vintage and the mountains in the background are very inviting! Check the products here.

Oh My...

Only 8 days till my son starts kindergarten!  I can't believe it.  It has come so fast. Today we have some appointments and school supply/clothes shopping to do.  I don't know how much I will get done art wise this week because my mind is so distracted with how fast my son is growing and his big milestone of starting school quickly approaching.  I am still in disbelief.

I do have a showcase today.

Yellow Butterfly

This is a simple image but I have made it in several colors and it has been a big seller for me.  Check out what products it is on here.

Friday!

Got out fishing early yesterday, no bites but lots of fun!  Had a mouse run over the tops of my feet, a squirrel dart in front of the car and a several deer dart across the road! Was awesome.
Just a fawn in this pic! There were three big doe and then two baby fawns.  I caught the last one straggling behind.

Working on a bullfrog yesterday afternoon and finishing up the last few products of another cycle print.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Another cool bike, check the products here.

Rain Day Yesterday.

Boy did it rain, we need it because it has been a very long time since the last good soaking.  I am sure to find some giant zucchini today.

I managed to get three more new images uploaded on products yesterday.  I think it is time to get some Halloween artwork done.  That is next on my list!

Love musical instruments, I played quite a few! Never got around to learning guitar but still have time.  Check out the banjo here. I sell many of this design.  Banjo music is wonderful!

The Mondays!

Starting the week off hopefully uploading more products.  I had a very good weekend on Zazzle and hope it continues!

It was hot this weekend, I usually am not bothered by the heat but yesterday to the best of me.  It will be hot again today, will have to make sure to stay cool and to enjoy it as well because the cold weather is coming!

Until I have some more new artwork to showcase I am going to show some of my popular designs!

I like this simple vintage print! Makes me want to get out cycling. Check it out here.

Friday!!

I started the 5th bike print but as I was placing it on products I really didn't like how that particular one came out so it has gone back to the work bin, it wasn't as colorful and crisp as the others.  I could not let it slide.

I managed to get another turkey print on yesterday and started the next bike pic.  It will be a long road on the motorcycles.  I did do excellent on sales! 

Check out my big sale! Sold a bunch of tote bags.   
Enjoy the weekend!

Spectacles

I had a large order of this simple but fun design!  Check all the products here.

I thought it was Wednesday!  I did get a turkey image uploaded on products yesterday so I am happy at that.   I will try and get another turkey uploaded today and start the fifth motorcycle image!

Here is the first motorcycle in the series.

Feeling a bit better.

Yesterday was tough. Today, at least this morning, I am feeling a bit better.  I have some turkey images to upload on products, they are quick and will do some today.  As long as my tummy says it is ok!

This is one of my favorite past designs!

I did win an award for this design.  Check out the products here.

No luck

I really think I have more bad luck happening lately.  I am currently under the grips of food poisoning. Difficult to write this post so off to recover.  Be back soon.
