Take a good look, this is what I have been dealing with these days! What a mess! I am in the mist of creating some new looks for potential products and here is the end result of all that fun!
Such a glamorous life don't you think? I think the colors are very fun. I often get inspired just by colors alone.
These pretty beauties just make you feel happy and when the weather is 64 degrees in January you cannot help but be happy!!
I tell you though I am getting in over my head with trying to fit in a bunch of new designs and ideas for my upcoming meetings in Atlanta this weekend. I always do this to myself before any show. It's a little nuts but sometimes it is when the best stuff is born. I often do well under pressure and can navigate through many different things at one time. When I am slow is when I get distracted and work on things that do not matter.
Does this sound like anyone?
So let me tell you how talented and creative my 7 year old son Hayden is! This past weekend he once again came up with yet another creative project.. A fish Game! I sometimes marvel at what goes on in his head and how he just comes up with these things out of the blue.
Here is a photo of the game and his precious little feet.
he created it out of paper, and you can see it can be placed anywhere. All of the drawings were cut out for the game and placed. The object of the game was to get to the school of fish. He had all these places along the way that you could land on and get sent back and such! So cute!
Here is a close up of the game pieces you could be. He made a squid out of a plastic cup and let me tell you this was not the firs time he did one the other was beyond, this is a much simpler version.
As you can see there is also a stingray and other fish! Below is a close up of the school of fish, basically the finish line of the game.
I think we are going to have to put him to work early since he obviously can handle it! I do not think at that age I was that creative although my mom recalls in 2nd grade the teacher telling her that I was the art teacher. My mom thought the teacher was being cute about that maybe I pretended to show the kids art and such but the teacher was explaining to her that indeed I was the art teacher and taught the class about many things and that we did projects based on my ideas! I for some reason have absolutly no memory of this, funny huh.
Anyway on another note, the weather has been unbelivable around here, today is 64 degrees!! Is that crazy or what for January. I know it's a teaser and that Spring will not come early as I hoped, Mother Nature is just playing tricks on us right now.
Well folks I can no longer procrastinate, must get to work, must get to work!! Did anyone say hookey? Ha
