If you see it in the sun, it’s so.
I’m back guys! (Try to contain yourself.)
It feels like forever since I posted on my blog. The last few months have been nuts, but things are starting to wind down a bit. It was nice to spend some time with my family, move out of my apartment, work on my house and sort of clear my head - but the break is over and it is time to get down to business. I will be updating my shop over the next few weeks - hopefully adding some things, changing some things and trying to get back into the daily blog habit.
Something to look forward to - I got a screen printer for Christmas, so you should see some larger prints in shop soon. I’m excited about moving beyond my dear little gocco, but I won’t abandon her. Along those lines, I bought myself this gorgeous print (1897, Louis Rhead.) “If you see it in THE SUN, it’s so,” is a quote from the infamous newspaper (THE SUN) article that inspired, “Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus.” But I like to think of it in the literal sense - if you see it in the sun, it’s so. Lovely.
American Artist, Louis Rhead/1897
Froehliche Weihnachten!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! For the first time in my life, Christmas season hasn’t really felt like Christmas to me. I think that the rest of life got so crazy that it all passed me by - but here we are on Christmas Eve!
One holiday inspired thing I did find the time to do was to enter into a gift wrapping competition at the Racine Art Museum - which is one of the largest craft museums in the world. The contest was judged by world renowned children’s book illustrator, Lois Ehlert. Love her! I won the competition - with this simple little number (excuse the less-than-stellar photo:)
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful, amazing holiday with friends and family. Lots of love…
xoxo/Michelle
