Look who's egg's hatched!!!

Hi Everyone....

I am so excited to say that our cute little dove has two little ones in her nest....they are as cute as can be and she has been the most amazing Mommy....she doesn't leave them at all....her husband Dove comes around and feeds her and takes care of her as she sits and keeps the babies warm....

She is so used to us that she doesn't even move an inch...took me a while to capture a shot of the babies....they are so amazing....I love seeing life in our gardens!!!

Happy Tuesday Everyone....and Happy Creating!!!

Making something out of nothing......and enjoying little things in life.....

Hi Everyone.....

I think it is the little things in life that mean the most....so I thought I would share this story with you today.....

I teach arts and crafts once and a while at our son's School and I always enjoy my time with the class and love the excitement in the children's eyes when they create.....The last time I was at school working on some art with the children they asked me to stay and play soccer with them at recess....as we played we laughed and walked and ran and enjoyed the weather.....we noticed some strange brown grass on the ground....and one of our son's friends picked up a bunch of this stuff and came to me.....

I immediately said that the grass reminds me of a bird's nest and his eyes lit up......and I said....let's get a bag and pick more of this grass and I promised I would take it home and make him a special bird nest.....so I did....and this is what I created.....and I love it and I can hardly wait to go to school today and show him what I made.....I also did a new bird illustration for this nest .....and added some mini eggs inside....

I can't wait to pick up our little munchkin and share this little gift with his friend.....my heart smiles over the little things around us that can make us happy........

Here is the illustration that the nest inspired......

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!! and Happy Creating!!!

Happy Mother's Day !!!!

Wishing all of you Moms out there a wonderful Mother's Day....May you share memories with your Moms and pay tribute to them if they are away....they sure do shape our world and I feel very blessed to have such an amazing Mom in my life....She is my best friend and I love all the great times we have with eachother week after week.....She is one of my biggest fans and she makes my heart smile when I see her handing out my Business cards and postcards to people that need a new Picture book....

She is one of the most amazing cooks I know and I feel so blessed to have learned from her my whole life....and keep learning from her each and every week..(even though I will never admit it lol)

We laugh and enjoy life and that is the most important lesson she has taught me....The importance of family and making and sharing amazing memories and traditions with family....She is the foundation that held our whole family together and I hope I can be a wonderful Mother like her to our children.....and I hope that I will be an amazing wife and friend....just like she is.....Thank you for everything !!!!

I thought my bird sketch for Sunday Sketches was just perfect for Mother's day as it exemplifies the way Mother's guard and take care of their children....There is nothing more beautiful than the love a Mother has for her children.....

Wishing you all the best....and I hope you all head over to Sophia's Sunday Sketches to enjoy more amazing art....

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

We always know Spring is here when this lady comes to visit.....

Every year we get some visits from our special Robin and this year she decided to use our umbrella tree in the front garden outside our formal dining room window...I was so excited to see her setting up her nest and notice that she is there every morning...watching us and I love seeing her too....I took the photo of her through our window and then went outside when she left the nest to take a shot of her three eggs...the colour is amazing!!!

Cole is so thrilled to be expecting her little babies....so so cute!!! we are doing some art now and painting some nests with eggs....

Have a wonderful day!!!
