i love rainy days. i just do.
there's something about cloudy, rainy, wet days that make me feel happy and thankful to work from home….
so much to share today… i've finally completed the rest of my commissions. they were each a joy to work on… i feel strangely nervous when i do commissioned paintings. a million times more than a regular spur-of-the-moment-idea painting. it's scary…. you know, a little. :)
so it made my day (i mean week!) when i saw these photos of Emily opening the commissioned painting that her sweet mom had made for her….
made my heart so happy.
here are the new custom girls….
for Carrie.
for Chunling (& Fluffie).
For Janel.
for Vera.
yay!! i feel accomplished. these are shipping out in the morning with lot of treats. :D
i won't be taking commissions for a while now because i've started production for autumn & winter RVA items (yayyy!) that need my full attention. thanks for the interest. i enjoyed painting these!
a few red velvet peeks for today….
he! these little guys made me laugh… i guess they are probably girls….
and i added the Panda Party print to my shop….. finally! :D
this afternoon i spent some time with Amy & Story…. smoothies & Vintage Vice. it was niceee. she's only in town for a couple weeks, but i wish she was staying forever!
1. magazine feature photo shoot coming up… must tidy & add extra cuteness.
2. tomorrow i am getting a pup!
:))))))) XO. elsie

Awww, a puppy!!! He/She is gonna be sooo spoiled, lol!!! Can’t wait to see pics!!!
I usually love rainy days too but we just had tornado warnings here and water was pouring in the living room thru a little a/c we have in there. I was running around catching the rain in bowls. Quite funny now that I say that, lol.
Oh, I was wanting a painting of my own soooo badly!!! You need to do customized crafty girl ACEO’s!!! =)
See you Saturday!!! Can’t wait!! xoxo -j
Hooray for finally getting a sweet puppy!
Check out those clouds.
LOVE the name Story.
those paintings look sooo cute, and I can’t even imagine all the happiness they will bring! 🙂
congrats on the puppy!!!! can’t wait to see photos and hear what you name the little one. <3
ps: i love rainy days too, they're just the best. xo
LOVE rainy days! they’re great to stay in and read!!!
YAY!! I LOVE my painting!! I’m so excited to get it and put it up on the wall… eeeeppp!!!
And how exciting that you are getting a puppy…hopefully it comes from a safe place, I’ve been fostering puppy mill dogs lately, it’s sad, puppies deserve soooo much better because they bring the world soooo much love and loads of adorableness too.
Hugs to you, thank you SO much for my painting!! Hug and kiss on the nose to the new fur-baby!
xoxoxoxo
p.s. can I post that picture of my painting on my blog? and what about using as my avatar? how cute would that be?!?
