Artsy Fartsy

So, I have been really into nesting lately.  Meaning that I just want to clean, organize, decorate, and perfect my surroundings.  This seems to happen to me most years at springtime and often accompanies a need to also plant and garden...very weird.   I have found a recent love for artist Emily Winfield Martin.  Her paintings have a certain melancholic whimsy feel to them that I really love.  I decided the other day, while on a nesting tangent, to purchase some of my favorite prints of hers for our bedroom.  They came in the mail this week and I was so excited I found frames for them right away.  They will be up on the wall by the end of the day if I have anything to say about it!  I totally recommend that you check out both her blogs and her Etsy shop!

 The girl sleeping under the quilt print is so sweet I love the colors.   It's titled Cold Toes Warm Heart.  The print with all the cute little storybook houses is titled The One Tree.  I found the white frames at Joanne Fabric on sale to complete my artsy fartsy look. 

I have also been on a craft blog addiction.  I have been surfing the web from one craft blog to another and bookmarking any and all that are remotely interesting or helpful.  I must have over 50 of them saved under 2 different toolbar headings...lol. This may be why I have started back on my blog here recently with a new look and posting often.  The one bummer though, is that I have no followers...so for all I know I am the only one who reads my ramblings...lol.  Oh well, I'll keep it up and hope someone will eventually like me and find me interesting!
