Hurricane creature.

This has been an interesting week to say the least!!!

We have essentially been trapped in our little apartment for the past four days thanks to Hurricane Isaac. Talk about going a bit stir crazy. 

It has been a bit difficult to work this week. At one point I even wanted to scream a bit. Lately I have been having some technical difficulties with my beautiful laptop. The internal battery won't hold a charge. In other words if the cord gets knocked at all everything will instantly shut off. *Maybe a new one would be a great Christmas present - hint hint my man* Anyway, I had worked sketching for about two hours. I had used some handy dandy duct tape though and finangled (yes, that is a word!) the cord in a way so it wouldn't detach or anything. It was late and I was putting away my drawing tablet then I was going to save what I did. (DUMB DUMB DUMB - ALWAYS continually save your work). Well the tablet hit the side and BAM! Instantly everything was gone. Hours of work down the drain. Wicked sadness. 

Well, between losing power, playing in the rain, and 'bored parties' (thrown by my girls since we were all bored), I was able to take a few hours to put together my newest little guy. I think he is properly named Isaac! 

Also, I want to say a huge WELCOME to all of the newcomers. That also requires a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to refer all those newcomers. It really means a lot, and I appreciate everyone's support more than you know. I do this all because I love it so much, and I am glad there are some people out there that enjoy it! 

Poster love.

Well then. 

Twenty one days without a single post. Shame on me. 

Needless to say our family has been a bit busy. There is nothing more fun and relaxing than moving. HA!

For the next seven weeks or so we are living in a little apartment. This means no furniture work. Sadness. I think I am having withdrawals. I have all of my paints in a big box in the closet here. Movers wont take them, so I had to. Such a tease. 

In the meantime, I have an opportunity to work a bit more on graphic design. I have made a few posters recently and when we finally get to our next duty station and have a house I wan't to put them up in my little mans room. 

Every one of my kiddos has 'their' song. We all sing this, all the time, to my littlest monster. 

I had to make this one, just because rockets are awesome. :)

When my girls walked in the room and saw this, they loved it. However, I was asked, "Mommy, why are you making all these little boy ones? What about one for us?" Therefore, this girl version was made.

Now that life is settling down a bit (for the next several weeks at least), I promise I won't disappear for another twenty one days. 

Also, in the meantime, I am doing a referral contest for Uniquely Refined Designs facebook page. Check out the 'rules' and send everyone you know over that way. The winner will win a FREE (who doesn't love something that's free), 100% custom made design of their choice! 

Until next time....

Going going gone.

I can't express to you my level of exhaustion.


I apologize (especially to certain people -you know who you are-) for not having more of a chance to post anything in the past week. It's been very hectic. We found out Monday that we leave Saturday. There are so many little ridiculous details it's making my head spin. 


First off. I must say, I felt pretty special this weekend. A zombie facebook page with over 56,500 followers posted my poster that I made my man for our anniversary. It was shared over 300 times on peoples personal pages. Talk about feeling awesome. 


Unfortunately, I started a few things this weekend, but I won't be able to finish them until late fall. They are going to be packed up next week, shipped, and kept in storage until we get to our next base. I have WAY too much furniture to move, and I'm not quite sure what to do. I didn't realize this whole moving process would go so fast. 


In the meantime I worked on a small table. Here is how it started out...

After a little love and elbow grease, this is what we have! 

Once it was all done I put it next to the blue coffee table I made a few weeks ago. Personally, I think they look awesome together! What do you think?

I have a feeling over the next few months I will be jonesing to do a furniture project. Once we get settled into our 'accommodations', whatever they may be, I will be able to really work on some graphic design work. 


These next couple of weeks are going to be EXTREMELY hectic for me. There is going to be a lot of traveling, inspections, movers, packers, more inspections, driving, then some more driving. Oh did I mention, I will be doing all of this with all three of my little monsters, and not my husband! HA! It will be interesting. Please cross your fingers, say your prayers, wish me luck, send me awesome vibes, ANYTHING! I will need it!
