Do You Miss Mary Engelbreit?

For all of us who miss Mary Engelbreit's magazine, here's a little video you might enjoy.


It was also nice to discover she's still painting, working, and has a current blog.  I loved the magazine and hopefully, it will be back in publication at some time.  I hope you enjoy this.

the new year....



So we all took a little holiday from posting on the blog and thought we would start the new year out fresh.
Well,
my first idea VE used, then pepper sucked up my second idea….
It’s a good thing I don’t post on Friday’s or there would be nothing left for me to say!
I am really just kidding. We don’t have any idea what anybody else is going to write about, unless we decide we want to do a theme week. Then we all know about what the others are going to write, but not what they will do.
I personally love checking in each day to see what they have to say or show.  It is almost always a surprise.

Anyway I suppose I should get to my post.
I thought I would start my first new years post by finding some brand new shops to show off.
I didn’t get very far….
I found a really sweet illustration and my idea just took off on it’s own.

Did you guess what I got sidetracked by yet?...lol
Yes, a bunch of owls.

Late one night my husband and I came home and we heard a very weird sound coming from the woods. (it was creepy) It kept moving around and screeching from high to low, left and then right. After my husband said wth is that??? We decided that it must have been a screech owl. (I was able to sleep after that…ha!)

I love the way owls turn their heads and barely blink. It is like the effort is almost too much for them

Sometimes it seems like they are looking right through you.

I do think of owls as being rather regal…

undecided...

I was only going to pick one new shop for today, but then I couldn’t resist showing both of these shops. I also had every intention on finding and showcasing a new shop that focused on altered art (or collage) but this fun shop caught my eye first.

I love how the design flows from one shoe to the other. I also like the simple color palette and the lines.
   

 Check out and see their other fun designs in their shop.




 I think these are beautiful and I love that they are done with watercolors.
       

These two shops are creative and have their very own individuality. Both are not afraid to use color in varying degrees.

I hope you will take a few minutes and check out these two new shops.
