I've Been Crafting... and Healing.

It's been a good three weeks since I have painted anything, and I have to tell you, it's been amazing.  After a very difficult loss, I needed time to heal, and painting wouldn't have given me the time to do so.  So, because I decided to stop painting through the holidays, God has miraculously allowed me to experience His grace in a mighty way.  He's spoken to me regarding life...  and my craft. 

(Stay tuned for details on that.)

However, I'm creative and crafty at heart; it's the way God's made me.  It wouldn't feel right if I wasn't crafting something.  Here are a few things I've done throughout the holidays:

These were for a coworker of my mom's.

As for what lies ahead, less painting.  I have a full wait list, and I plan to have it finished within the next two months.  However, following that, I will open up two spots a month for paintings.  I can embroider or vinyl at any time!  Thank you for understanding and your patience.  I sincerely enjoy crafting for you! 

But, there are three boys who need my attention more than my love of creating.
