4 of the 31 orders for the month of August!

WOW! What a crazy month this has been.... 31 orders and technically the month isn't even over! To be perfectly honest I am a little overwhelmed. I never dreamed of having quite this much on my plate, but I am excited none the less. Finding time to fill all these orders is another thing entirely.

It has been a wonderful first year in the studio and I must say thank you to all who have placed orders and recommended me to friends and family. I am looking forward to see what this new year will bring..... more studio time please!

So, here are just a few of the orders I have been working on... nothing fancy, but still cute! I can't wait to share with you the other projects that are currently on my table. Hopefully I will have much more to share after the holiday weekend.

P.S. If you are thinking of placing an order please know that the current wait time is approximately 3-4 weeks due to the high volume of orders collected this month. I will post when this time frame changes :)

New Baby items...

Here are some new products I have been trying out.... Personalized Baby Blocks and pails. The very first child I ever baby-sat for is now having a baby of his own so I thought he and his wife (and baby Brody) deserved a special gift. Daddy Matt is a huge fisherman so naturally I chose a fishing theme. The blocks are 2x2 squares and painted on 4 sides with a letter in 4 different fonts (some capitals, some lower case), then on the two "ends" are small paintings of fishing gear... sailboat, hook, pole, bobber and waves! The bucket is an 8 quart galvanized steel bucket with painted fishing pole and "Brody's Bait". I apologize for not taking pictures before I packaged them :)

The idea seemed to be a success at the Baby Shower... what do you think? Leave me a comment and let me know!!!

New Life...

New life.... as a baby, a cancer survivor.... the good and perfect gift of a life is from above!

Mother's Day Surprise

Here's a look at my mother's gift from this past Sunday. I think she was definitely surprised. It is a stretched 11x14 with painted "blue bird toile" and a poem by Robert Frost. Sorry for the poor photographs.... lighting was not on my side Sunday!

Shoes, monograms and foreign languages!

Still waiting...

Hey everybody! Thank you all for being so patient during this transition. It will be just a bit longer before I re-open the studio, but here's whats going on... We're getting a new name, new website and will be offering new products!!!

Ashley

Hiatus!

Notice:
The Studio will be closed beginning Monday, January 21, 2008 and will try to re-open by Monday, March 3, 2008. I have many orders pending and then will be taking "a break" to do some inventory and hopefully set up a new studio space in my home.

Thank you so much for making this a great beginning to my little art business! If all goes well I may begin taking orders sooner than March 3rd so keep checking back as I will post the rest of the orders and updates here!

Blessings,
Ashley

P.S. Fear not, those of you who have already been dicussing orders with me - I consider those to be full orders and will continue to paint until they are finished!

Back in the swing of it all!
