I would like to throw a spotlight on a lovely woman whom I get to know more each year I visit with her. She is Nate's cousin but now a friend of mine as well. I have never met such a talented woman other then my mother and Martha Stewart. She can sew anything, bakes from scratch, can discuss some of the most fascinating topics and sound very knowledgeable at the same time (thanks for the conversation Saturday night about foods and herbal remedies!) as well as paint so beautifully! She blessed me with two wonderful gifts this weekend during our little getaway to visit family and the Georgia Aquarium: first a handmade baby sling that is color coordinated with a diaper bag I have (I'm so totally cool now) and a copy of a painting she did of her kids in a creek (it is hanging in our living room now). She has two websites that you have to check out www.handmade-adelaide-baby.com for her unique ideas she has gathered on making baby gifts for others or for your own use. And www.thebrownbrush.com showcases her paintings. She has a new business where she can take a photo you give her and using her computer 'paint' over the picture (adding new things, tweaking stuff, changing colors) and print it on canvas so that it looks like it was painted. I can't wait for Elizabeth to turn one and I'm going to have her paint a picture of all the kids together!
This is just a shout out to you Gwen - thanks for hosting us and being such an inspiration to me as a new artist, a creative seeking mother and a now much more health conscience woman! Love you!
Side note: this picture is of all the cousins in Atlanta that we saw Saturday morning - thanks Heidi for hosting breakfast - hope we didn't trash the kids' rooms!
