3 Months...

"Hello, Birds, would you like to play with me?"

I spent my day playing with Iona, cutting paper, drinking coffee, cooking, just enjoying every moment. My son will be 3 months tomorrow. It still feels strange to think of myself as a mother.
I still wonder: Where did he come from? However, he smiles when he sees me. He knows who I am better than I know who he is.

Oops, Wrong Invitation!

When I work on a concept I usually take snapshots of my ideas for future reference. Look what my lens captured this time ! I was working and playing with my son at the same time. The point is I am having lots of fun. Sorry I can't show you the real invitation yet. My work table is a mess and I don't like showing it.

About my last post, I have found more than one person shamelessly copying my work.
Look at this one for example:

She sure knows how to tie a bow *smile*. However she is selling it through an Etsy type online shop.

Here is mine:



I love to create and that is why I am doing it, but I usually spend one week ore more to come up with the perfect design. Also I am trying to do one of a kind design for every bride and I don't want another hundred to have the exact same invitation.

Third and last for today.
I have a lot of baby cards to share. Thank you ladies for sending them my way. I have to make myself a photo box so I can take some decent photos now that I have to share my studio with a baby room.

Hello, I am 8 Weeks Old!

Can I Do Both?

Technically, yes!
But I have to leave out the joy of doing it.
So I decided to give up one of them and leave room to enjoy life.
I can't give up my son, that's obvious.

This will still remain a blog about art. I will concentrate more on design and research, so there will be plenty for you to see once I am back to blogging. It's just the production part that needs to take a break. I don't want to think about ordering paper when I can enjoy a walk in the park.

Thank you for all the good wishes and good advice. See you soon!

4 Weeks Old

Yesterday my son turned 4 weeks. It still feels strange. I still haven't adapted to this new kind life.

There has been a strong battle in my heart for the past weeks. My love for art just wouldn't let go while all the time and energy had to be dedicated to this little angel.

So many thoughts are mixed up in my head right now and learning this new mommy job is very tough. It's the first exam in my life I have no book for. I wish I had gone to a "how to be a mommy" school. I don't think we even have one so it's a learn-as-you-go (not at all my favorite way).
