Awesomeness!

Well, I must allow everyone else to partake in the joy that exhaults from within me tonight. This excitement is due to the simple little fact that my painting ,'The Meadow', sold tonight. My first etsy sale!! I am thrilled beyond belief. I just put it in my etsy shop . I can not believe how fast it sold.

I am adding some examples for painted monogram canvases tomorrow. I need to finish them. They will be custom orders. I can do pretty much any request. So, if you are interested contact me at standonthedge@yahoo.com . I will also be adding more oil paintings. And I will be taking requests for those too.

Check things out. Soon I will also be adding some sewing projects. Like baby blankets, bibs, and burp cloths.

And I am definitely going to do the Twilight inspired paintings and more. So bookmark my etsy. And I started a myspace for my art. So add me if you are on there.

Here is a sneak peak of one of the monogram designs so far (without the initials/name):

DragQueen Fashionista

I guess this is what you get when your 2 year old son has a girly older sister that he thinks is the best thing ever! This is Brenna's lip gloss and new headband. He was not asked to do this. haha. I found him this way.

I actually think it is very funny. He thinks it is very pretty. haha.

His new thing is to give a thumbs up to the camera.



This was taken the same day. As you can tell from the photo, he is rather fashionable. His underwear is inside out, no pants, and of course, rocking the infamous john deere boots!!!
And lets not forget the spongebob bandaid. Put on his leg for no other reason than Brenna had one. It's hard being a fashion icon. But if someone has to do it, why not let it be a 2 year old little south Georgia boy.

Etsy: Up and Running

I finally put up my first item on etsy tonight. It has taken me years to do so. But I did it. I still have a lot more paintings to get done this week. I need to get them up there asap!

I will be selling original paintings, and maybe a few drawings, along with painted monogram canvases. They will be custom orders. If you are interested please contact me at standonthedge@yahoo.com . Or if you have an etsy account (which you will need one to order-they are free) you can also convo me there. I check it all daily.

Unforunately the pictures didn't turn out so well of this painting. So I will have to try again tomorrow. And now I must go and paint.

You can check it all out at www.standonthedge.etsy.com

Etsy Rules!!

Get ready all of you handmade fans!! My etsy shop is about to be open for business!!! Who's excited?!! I AM!!!!!

I bought supplies today and should have the art up this week. I will definitely let everyone know.
I will be starting out with oil painted canvases of original abstract pieces. And also monogrammed, name, and letter canvases for children's rooms. Lots more will be added soon. I just need to get all of my ideas down on paper and get the supplies ready.

I am so very excited. I can not wait to share this with you all. I will be doing custom orders as well.
Oh, and for all you Twilight fans out there!! I have a few special pieces in mind. That will be ready in a couple of weeks. I will keep you all informed of all the excitement.

The Meadow

I started on a new painting tonight. It has been for what seems like years since I even picked up a paint brush. And actually if I really think about it, it has. Wow!! I have pushed my passions aside for so long now. I am escaping from that and pulling myself from the trenches of an imprisonment. I do not have to throw myself to the road side. I can have it all. And I will.

I have never felt such a thrill throughout my entire being. Looking at the canvas splashed with oils filled my soul with a complete joy. Smiling even as I cleansed my brush. Excitement spilling over the rim.

This is just the beginning. A love lost, but now awakened. Found in the depth of a hidden person. But everyday I come closer and closer to finding it all.

I will post a photo of the finished painting soon. And it will be for sale in my etsy shop-which I will post a link for that too.

A Statement

OK. Just because you read my blog does not mean you know me. I am a complete person with a trillion pieces to display. And a trillion to keep locked away inside my soul. This only shows a few of my of those displaying pieces.

So don't think you have me figured out. Don't think I am not this girl. I am. And you will never have me etched in you head all figured out. This girl is way more complicated than that.

On a little side, and maybe somewhat random, note: I think I am going to start another blog. About reviews of movies, books, products, and whatever else I want to share and I think ppl should look into or try out. I will of course post a link on here.

Pieces of the Spyglass

I just realized today that I have a problem committing to things. Not everything. Obviously I am married and I have three children. I have this blog, but I recently started this. And it is really a place for me to vent and keep a record of my life in a way that intrigues my mind.

It was brought to my attention that I have yet to take in complete commitment to my career choice. A career I sort of fell into. But I love. I know the reason why changing the way someone looks is thoroughly enjoyable to me. Because I adore creating. I am an artist at heart. That is where my heart will swim to the tree tops and sing for all to hear. Embracing the beauty of things is sweetness.

I am now aware things need to be done to keep me in a job. Self-discovery may need to speed up a bit. And today part of that was pieced together. A little more searching will get me to the reason behind the culprit. But who knows how long that could take. Time is not on my side. And my head is already spinning.

The things I do know are a little clouded. So it yet to be seen....
