New Adventures

So it's been a while (again) since I've blogged. I have plenty of {totally legitimate, and IMO very good} excuses such as:

- a very active (and lately somewhat sick) two year old running around, demanding time!

- we just celebrated my SIL's wedding last weekend; that took MONTHS of planning & was tons of fun, but very time consuming

- I coached cheerleading again this past year (which is, in and of itself, a full time job if you're doing it right!)

- I have tons of other hobbies (like the one I'm going to show you today!) that I spend my time doing instead of on the computer. Thanks iPhone and iPad...I hardly ever come on my desktop anymore, and I no longer own a laptop. I know, I know - I can blog from either of those devices, too. But there's something about typing on a "real" keyboard that feels more real....

In any case, I have been busy with a few projects! Not only am I planning my 2nd son's nursery (it's gonna be super cute!) and fueling a strong desire to start sewing...I've been painting again! For those of you who know me, you know I have always loved drawing, painting & especially scrapbooking. I've always loved canvas. So I took some inspiration from various pinterest DIY's and came up with this:

I'm currently working on another one {black & white stripes with red letters} for my good friend who is getting married in June. 

I'll be putting these up on etsy this weekend - but if you'd like to pre-order a custom set just leave a comment with your email address and we can start the process! Here are the prices:

1 canvas with initial letter only        
- will be: $25   **$20 pre-order sale**

{horizontal, vertical, or chevron stripes; solid color letter}

1 canvas with initial letter only      
- will be: $30       **$25 pre-order sale**

{solid color background; patterned letter}

2 canvases with initial letter only & "est. '00"    
- will be $35       **$30 pre-order sale**

{horizontal, vertical or chevron stripes; solid color letters}

2 canvases with initial letter, handwritten name & "ets. '00"    
- will be $40    **$35 pre-order sale**

{horizontal, vertical or chevron stripes; handwritten name in any color; solid color letters}

2 canvases with initial letter, handwritten name optional, & "set. '00"    
- will be $50   ***45 pre-order sale**

{solid color background; patterned letters; handwritten name optional any color}

I usually just do three colors and pick the one that will "pop" most to be the letter color. However, I will paint it however you wish if you are specific. I can add thin pin-striping to the stripes for an additional $5 per canvas.

I will also be making custom canvases with quotes, scripture, or names. No pictures yet but if you have something in mind let me know! Prices will vary.

All canvases are 12x12 unless you specify another size, which may affect the price. 

Thanks guys! I'm excited to get started!

XO,

Ashley
