You may not use them in any way, copy them, or pin them to pinterest. Homemade Gift Exchange paintings. I was invited to a homemade Christmas gift exchange, and had the hardest time trying to figure out what to make! Well, I ended up going with my usual . . . a painting. A pair of paintings, that is. I thought they were quite cute and quirky. 11x14 sized, and my very first try with ink pin over paint. The party was so fun, and I think my paintings were a hit! Created by: Katie The Lady. After a wonderful...

You may not use them in any way, copy them, or pin them to pinterest. Sweet Dreams in the Countryside. I've had an idea for a new painting for years. It was to be a fun night-scape, in true Katie style. I kept putting it off, and have finally completed a similar version to what I had in mind. Isn't it funny how you can imagine something in your head, but it just doesn't come out quite the way you had originally imagined it? But I still adore the new Katiescape! I love the orange building! I love swirls&#...

the Cromwell Chronicles: a festive February
http://thecromwellchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-festive-february.html
Sunday, April 26, 2015. My stand up sister served as a spectacular stand-in as my date for Dancing with our Stars fundraiser for the Highlands Museum. Pre-party painting of the piggies. E's Valentine's for dance (they are minions in the recital). A's preschool Valentine party. EJ made matching jewelry for the family. As well as the usual artistic wall decor. I bought her a 400-sheet pack of construction paper. Ten days later she had already used the fronts and backs of all of them! Ej- the first year.

Sunday, October 20, 2013. Guess what came to town? Another check off the Bucket List: the Color Run! Followed by Path to the Cure for Team Ms Donna. The girls gave me a run for my money in the double stroller. EJ insisted on a two-way conversation the entire time, shew! Back to the beach. Two family beach vacations in almost as many weeks. Perfectly planned, since the first one left us wanting more :) To be fair, the second one left us wanting more, too! Afraid of sand no more! Our own "summer camp".

Sunday, April 26, 2015. Mid-February seemed like the perfect time to plan our first trip to the Greenbrier. That is, until Snowmaggedon 2015 was upon us. What should have been a two hour trip turned into a very treacherous 6 hours. My stand up sister served as a spectacular stand-in as my date for Dancing with our Stars fundraiser for the Highlands Museum. Pre-party painting of the piggies. E's Valentine's for dance (they are minions in the recital). A's preschool Valentine party. Saturday, April 25, 2015.

You may not use them in any way, copy them, or pin them to pinterest. My first commissioned painting. You may not use them in any way, copy them, or pin them to pinterest. Here's mid January progress. This thing was a beast to paint! And after working around the clock, the past few weeks, I was finally able to finish and send it home with my parents, back to Spokane for my patient buyer. Here's the final product. The pictures aren't great, as I was taking them outside while varnishing it. This site is in...

You may not use them in any way, copy them, or pin them to pinterest. Every year I think it would be fun to make a holiday painting for the kitchen or livingroom. And every year I forget about it until after the holiday has passed. Not this time! I've had a huge canvas just sitting in my closet since summer, and could never decide what to paint on it. I decided just to use it for Christmas until I do eventually paint it for real. So I painted trees. Colorful, funky Christmas trees. Make It and Love It.
