After the doozy that was the last couple of months, I’m really happy to report that we’re doing much better!  The most stressful part of life (waiting on my husband’s test results and fearing the worst) is over and now we can focus on his treatment and recovery.   

We still need to wait before treatment can begin, but at the very least, the great weight of fear that he may be terminal has been lifted, as his cancer is very treatable!  Thanks to everyone who sent their love and support during this really stressful time! 

Life is slowly returning back to normal and I’ve been hard at work catching up on sketches for Sketch Collectors and catching up on the coloring book’s progress.

New Original Art Archive

I have quite a few paintings and drawings that have simply aged out of being art I want to display on my site and shop.  However, they’re still in need of happy homes rather than hiding in my studio closet!  I’ve created an Album on Facebook where I’ll be collecting all of my originals I am willing to part with featuring art that is in my shop but also art that will never appear in my shop.  Feel free to comment to claim one for yourself and Share the Album with your Friends!  I’d love to be your Friend on Facebook too, just drop me a message and let me know who you are once you send me a request.

I may in the future work on a way that Patreon Patrons can have first dibs on original art I post, if that’s something you all are interested in.  What do you think? 

New Coloring Pages for Patrons Coming Soon

I finished creating the coloring pages of the Ladies’ fashion plates for my upcoming Ladies of the Months coloring book this month, which means that I’ll be uploading all the pages here for my $5+ Patrons in the next few days!  I can’t wait to see how you guys will play with their wardrobe colors!

Speaking of the coloring book. Onwards to status updates!  I’ve bolded all the things which have changed in the past month. 

Current Projects

My main project right now is getting the Ladies of the Months coloring book out to the Kickstarter Backers!  I have no other side projects, commissions, or appearances planned until this goal is met and will be focusing solely on getting this epic task completed on schedule!

As ever, I am so grateful for all of you for your support in helping make our lives a little easier with your encouragement.  Your pledges, no matter how small, make a big difference in our lives.

Much love!
