I'm here, I'm here!

LOL! I have been busy but I am being creative! I wish I can get on the blogs more but work is so hectic this time of year. I am lucky enough to telecommute but I get nothing done! I have been able to squeeze something in the past few days.

I was lucky enough to get some calendar orders, yay! So i decied to typeset the months to give them a more polished look. I used a different typeface for each month. It felt like the righ thing to do. So I'll be using alot of my twine to pack these sets up:)

I'm also managing to do a little doodling here and there. Mostly during conference calls because its alot of listening. I listen better when I sketch and draw, don't know why but it works for me. As you can see I have the holidays on the brain, and who doesn't? I hate to admit this but I still have alot more to do. Thankfully I have a whole lot of free time on Saturday. That is when I finish up. I try not to stress, everything will be okay in the end :)

I did this painting a week or so ago and put it to the side in frustration and guess what? I discovered this going through my pile last night, picked it up and fell in love. Go figure. I bet this happens to alot of people..So I am calling this one "Discoveries" Hope everyone is having a great day and having fun along the way.

Congrats on the calendar order! I only wish I didn't currently have five (paper) calendars already for 2012. Who knows where they're all going to go...

Your doodles are fantastic! You're so very talented my dear!

Fran, I AM IN LOVE WITH THAT PAINTING!!! OMG...
My jaw literally dropped. I was so relieved to hear you say that you fell in love with it. :-) I was afraid you would say 'i got frustrated, and threw it out!'
I see a plate full of sushi, and fresh veggies and vibrant colours... it's absolutely gorgeous.
So glad to see you've still been creative. And your calendars are amazing. Wonderful work...
Happy Christmas, Fran. So glad we met... xoxo
