I've added some more ready-made signs to the shop. It's been so much fun using some really unique old wood that we found recently. The signs have so much character! You can find them in <a href="http://www.aimeeweaverdesigns.com/" target="_blank">my shop</a>.</div>

Last Tuesday through Sunday we went on our first EVER family vacation. We stayed at my parents' house by the bay in Delaware. And it was SO GOOD. At the risk of sounding completely boring, I'm not really a vacation person. Honestly, I LOVE to work. I love routine. I love being home. So taking the kids somewhere for an extended period of time doesn't sound super appealing to me. (I told you I was boring.)<br />
<br />
But husband didn't give me a choice. We were GOING. And, as usual, he was right when he said it would be good for us to get away. Even if he dragged me away kicking and screaming.<br />

On the itinerary:<br />
Taking naps<br />
Playing on the beach<br />
Watching sunsets<br />
Eating chocolate and pizza<br />
Swimming in the pool<br />

Friends of ours were at the beach at the same time, and Avery loved playing with her friend Anna. They were two peas in a pod.<br />

The land in which we live is filled with corn fields, rolling hills, lots of trees and farms and greenery. I happen to think it's beautiful. The beauty of Pennsylvania in the summer.</div>

Summer is just flying by and I'm trying my best to make it STOP. Although I'm sure I'll be ready to get back to the routine that fall brings. I LOVE that we live in an area where we have four seasons, each different and beautiful in their own way.</div>

<br />
I'm so excited to share my newly re-designed website! After months of working on it, it is finally DONE. It'll make shopping for my artwork so much easier and it looks prettier too (which is the most important part, right??).<br />

<b>Pet birds.</b> Oh, how these little black birds caused a stir with the kids. The birds fell out of their nest from a tree in the back yard and couldn't fly yet, so the kids mothered them. They dug for worms and fed them all day long. I think it'll be the highlight of Avery's summer.</div>

New sheets and a pillow for Jack's bed. He gets excited about the littlest things and was over the moon.<br />

Our first full week of summer has gone by and it's been laid-back with a bunch of work thrown in the mixture. The kids have been having a blast playing outside. It's been great having Avery home full-time, although they have their share of squabbles. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We spent Saturday working outside - trimming trees, pruning roses, mowing the yard, and I was working on creating a fun sitting area under the tree where the kids play. Someday I'll have to take pictures for you. There is a huge tree in our backyard that we turned into a play area for the kids a few years ago. Hubs built a swing set right into the tree, as well as a slide and a little rock climbing wall. It's pretty sweet. And it has lots of shade for hot summer days. The kids literally spend almost the whole day under the tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and, a disclaimer. I don't always wear nice clothes. Sometimes I'm embarrassed when I look into the mirror. I stay at home a lot and most days I'm working on some sort of project, so my requirements for clothing are pretty basic: comfy, cool, and able to withstand paint splatterings and runny noses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But on the days that I actually have the opportunity to leave the house (hallelujah!), I have fun putting effort into what I wear. And, in case you don't know me, I find most of my clothes at thrift stores because I love the thrill of the hunt.</div>

I started to think about painting the family room a different color several months ago, but I wasn't sure what color I wanted to use. Until I saw <a href="http://theletteredcottage.net/gray-owl-by-benjamin-moore/" target="_blank">Layla's blog post</a> at <a href="http://theletteredcottage.net/" target="_blank">The Lettered Cottage</a>, and then I knew the direction I wanted to head in. </div>

The new paint color is Benjamin Moore Gray Owl and it is awesome. It's mostly very light gray with a little bit of blue, depending on the light.</div>

Since I was painting the walls anyway, I decide to do some re-decorating while I was at it (of course). I created this ocean-inspired painting using old barn wood that hubs put together for me. And I LOVE it. I'm keeping it up for the summer...maybe longer.</div>

I can't take any credit whatsoever for how pretty the roses look. I don't even remember what kind they are. I planted them maybe 5 years ago and they must love the soil and amount of sunshine they get, because I've never fed them or really done anything beside prune them. The one on the railings is a climbing rose and the other one is a regular rose bush.</div>

Most afternoons you'll find me taking a little break on the porch and soaking in the sunshine. It's my favorite little relaxation spot.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Friends</span>. I'm still alive and breathing. Although it might not seem like it. I miss you. I miss writing and posting and all that. Somehow life has crept in and sneakily claimed a lot of my time and attention. BUT I have lots of new stuff planned for the blog and will be posting more again, I promise. Pinky swear.<br />
<br />
Life lately...<br />
<br />
:: Mother's Day ~ was a sweet day with husband taking care of the kids most of the day, serving me breakfast in bed (he snuck out and bought it from the local cafe), and he gave me a lamp (in the pic above) that I love.<br />
<br />
:: I painted the family room last week and I am head over heels with the new color (you can see a sneak peek in the pic above). I'll show you more pics soon. It is fresh and perfectly gray/blue and just right for summer.<br />
<br />
:: I also painted the porch floor on Saturday. STRIPES, my friends. Gray stripes on an old wood floor. Perfection. I know it's annoying not to see pictures, but I will show them soon.<br />
<br />
:: Some flower planting going on but more needs to be done. The garden is giving us lettuce and spinach for salads. We took out pretty many trees in our back yard in the past few years and are finally getting around to removing stumps and making things look prettier.<br />
<br />

:: I've been working on updating my website and have a photo shoot planned this week with <a href="http://italianlane.com/" target="_blank">Michelle </a>for website photos. SO excited to work with her! I'm also working on a new look for the blog. Lots of techy things that take so long to work on, because I don't have a clue and I'm learning as I go.<br />

So, as you've probably gathered from lack of recent posts, things around here have been busy. Good, but busy.</div>

Last week I took some pictures of my studio so you could see how organized and uncluttered my life is. <i>(hopefully you are hearing the sarcasm)</i></div>

Pretty much my studio was imploding on me and I couldn't breathe. I had ordered a pallet-load of art supplies that came on a semi-truck and I needed to put them somewhere. Thankfully, I have a husband who thrives on organizing, so he created some more spaces for me to store my things and today it looks much better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How lucky am I that I get to order art supplies <i>for my job</i>?? I'm still pinching myself.</div>

Spring has arrived and things are looking so beautiful outside. My roses are on the verge of blooming and this makes me a little bit giddy. I gathered flowers to create some bouquets for a Spring banquet I helped with for our church ladies.</div>

I pretty much just emptied my house and used my decor to decorate the banquet. Super-easy and pretty. Here's what I used to decorate the tables:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
:: brown kraft paper as a tablecloth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
:: paper doilies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
:: old blue mason jars filled with freshly picked flowers from my yard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
:: random old things to create variety like an old scale and old books</div>

I worked on a few little projects this week that I thought I'd share. Here is a lamp I bought from HomeGoods a while ago. I LOVE the base but thought the shade needed a little something. This is a photo from Christmas...</div>

I wrote the wording onto the shade using a Sharpie paint pen (my favorite kind). I printed out the wording I wanted to use, then traced the lettering onto the shade using carbon paper. Then I painted over the tracing with the paint pen. It is a few of the lyrics from the song "The love of God".</div>

Yard sale season is upon us, and I am LOVING it! Not only does it give me a few hours of "me" time on a Saturday morning, I also usually get to hang out with my sister-in-law/yard sale sidekick Andrea, while scoring some great deals! Awesome.</div>

After a coat of white primer spray paint (I almost always use Rustoleum Ultra 2X Coverage - it is the BEST), then several coats of blue spray paint (Krylon in "Blue Ocean Breeze"). I also sanded the edges with a sanding block to bring out the white color underneath.</div>

It was SO fun to run into a blogger friend at a yard sale last weekend. It was the first time we met, and I was thrilled to be able to give her a hug in person! Her name is Clarita and you can find her <a href="http://skiesofparchment.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. I promise, you will love her as much as I do.</div>

So, I apologize if my recent posts have been a little bit stale!<br />
<br />
Here are some randoms on a Monday in April...<br />
<br />
:: My kids are in love with all things Richard Scarry, especially <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003R1CM6Y/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">these DVDs</a> of old shows that I bought from Amazon. The kids never watch TV, so I like to keep DVDs on hand that they enjoy and that don't irritate me. These are really cute and a little bit educational too.<br />

:: My tiny vegetable garden is ready for some planting. I'm all ready to go - just need to put up the fence around it to keep out the bunnies. I mostly just plant stuff for salads like lettuce, spinach, tomatoes and herbs.<br />
<br />
<br />
:: I found <a href="http://viewsfrommykitchensink.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pam's blog</a> over the weekend and fell in love with Paris all over again. She and her husband and four children moved to Paris last year and she writes about their experiences. What a dream.<br />

:: I enrolled in Jeanne Oliver's e-course called <a href="http://jeanneoliver.ning.com/group/building-a-creatively-made-business" target="_blank">Building a Creatively Made Business</a> and I've learned SO MUCH from it. If you have a small, hand-made business or are thinking about starting one, I highly recommend it. There are so many valuable things you will learn from Jeanne's first-hand experiences as a clothing designer and artist.<br />

:: I am ACHING to paint our family room. After seven years, the yellow is now getting on my nerves and needs to be replaced with a more neutral color (I think I've found the perfect one, but we'll see). If only I could add an extra 24 hrs. into my week. One of these days...and this time, I'll paint when the kids aren't at home so they don't leave footprints on my wall like they did <a href="http://aimee-weaver.blogspot.com/2012/10/hello-monday_1.html" target="_blank">while I was painting the kitchen</a>.

It was so fun to make it and I think I'm a little bit addicted. Do you want to see more videos? I'm thinking about doing a video tutorial for painting a sign. Hmmmm. </div>

It is snowing so beautifully outside this morning and even though it is SPRING, I don't mind watching the flakes come down. It covers the bare trees and flower beds and makes everything look bright and clean. Perfect for a Monday morning, don't you think?</div>

I wanted to mention that I will be starting to take NEW custom orders April 1. I will start taking a LIMITED amount of custom orders at the beginning of each month and when my spaces get filled up, I will wait until the beginning of the following month to take new orders again. I'm working hard to be able to fill my shop with ready-to-ship items as well as take your custom orders. THANK YOU for being patient with me if you are waiting to request a custom sign!</div>
