Please, have a kidney…really.

I painted this ‘thank you card’ for our good friend and wedding photographer Meredith Mascola. 

After everything she and her assistant photographer/husband did for us before, during and after our recent wedding, just sending a thank you card would have been an insult.  Hopefully this better captures how grateful we are for everything they did for us. 

We love you guys!!!

DIY Alphabet Rocks

|
Alphabet Rocks made for my niece’s 4th birthday.  
She’s wicked into both the alphabet and rocks 
so this seemed like the ideal gift.
You can use ’em to practice your ABC’s…
Or spell stuff…
Or…if you’re my brother-in-law you’d find out fast that you can also use the rocks to spell horribly inappropriate words that should never be used in mixed company, let alone spelled out in multi-colored kid’s toys and then text them to me and giggle.

There are no pictures of those words, sorry.

Instead, here’s a great tutorial I found on iammommahearmeroar.blogspot.com explaining how to make your own DIY alphabet rocks.  Check out the rest of her blog too, she’s got some awesome ideas.

Later Tater!

Dylan’s Fenway Park

|
This is the Fenway mural I did in Dylan’s room in Marshfield this weekend. 

 The scoreboard is painted with chalkboard paint and was left mostly blank (per Dylan’s request) so that he can fill in whatever game he wants or just write a loving note to his little sister to politely remind her to scram.  The ads on the jumotron were also personalized and include Spiderman and Darth Vader as a Lego character, two of Dylan’s favorite things and a little stick-figure-Dylan with his name under it is up there too. 

GO SOX!!

78 days and counting…

|

Where is my head?!?  I nearly forgot to update the countdown.

Can you imagine what would happen if the countdown wasn’t updated?

I don’t even want to think about it.

Anywho- here is your taco themed Etsy item of the day:
Organic Baby Hat Taco Thoughts hand screen printed dijon yellow with brown ink
A baby hat with a taco thought bubble on it…that’s obviously what most babies are thinking.  The good ones anyway.  You can buy it here from a seller called LEFTright in Michigan. 

We’re almost there!

Lex’s Robot Paintings

|

These robots were painted for Little Alexander (who will be called Lex in preparation for his eventual conquer of the free world) in Denver.  He’s not born yet but when he is I’m sure he’s going to be stoked. 

Paintings done in acrylic paint on wood and distressed by hand to give them an aged impression.  Each piece comes with a sawtooth hanger on the back, ready to be hung in Little Lex, our future leader’s nursery. 

More images after the jump…
