WHAT A WEEKEND it was a hot one with high humidity and little cool down at night. wren caught a stomach bug with a high fever on saturday. i have to admit, her fever rattled me. it was a first for us and we now know what to expect next time. she’s been improving each day, but i can tell she is still a little dehydrated. she’s eating and drinking a bit more now, and her fever is gone, but i won’t be completely at ease until she’s back to her normal, high energy self.
i managed to find time to paint this weekend while wren napped. such a rarity because i normally spend that free time cleaning, doing dishes or laundry. since it was too hot, i had nothing better to do than just sit and paint {no complaints here!}. i haven’t used water colors in probably 15 years, but like a close, old friend, it’s like no time had ever come between us. as much as i enjoy being creative in different mediums, painting is my most natural form of creative expression. it feels good to be painting again.
the giraffes were going to be used in a shower invitation for a friend, but a little mishap with our scanner and i’m now on to designing her something completely different. no painted giraffes this time around, sadly. alright…on the hunt for a new scanner. any recommendations?
those giraffes are really pretty! well, i just got an epson artisan printer, and the scanner works alright. havent used it too much to love it, yet. ps i love your daughters name. its very happy and musical <3

The giraffes are so cute! I want to start painting again. No ideas on a scanner I still have a 3 in 1 from 2005.
