Still My Babies

I've been laying a little low with blogging this past week.  There's a reason for that.  My youngest graduated from High School this past Thursday.  He's still my baby, and so is his brother.




He had a pretty busy senior year.  There were art shows (He won several awards), banquets, a trip to Springfield for a drama competition, prom, etc.  Now, he'll be pursuing his artistic dreams,





and, I'm about to get back in the creative groove.  I have two, possibly three (I haven't decided yet) shows coming up in June. I'm going to be very busy. After some serious purging, I have some hunting and gathering to do.  I also have to get to some of my furniture redesigns.  I'll be sharing.  See ya soon.

  13. It's a bittersweet time for you for sure. How do they grow up so fast? You must be very proud of all his achievements this past year and I'm sure the next part of his journey will be wonderful! My grandson passed a juried process and is part of a summer long Art In The Park series so his artistic life is moving along nicely. My fingers are crossed for you boy!

  15. Rosemary i know how bittersweet it was for you to see your last one off to brave the world. I felt the same way and still think back at where are the years going with my daughter who is in college, she will always be my baby, in fact I often call her baby lol!

    I am excited to see what next you will inspire us with, and I am excited to share some of my smaller projects with you as soon as I get them to that point of share.
    Have a beautiful weekend I am off to junk.

    Lots of beautiful-ness your way.

  20. The time flies and then our babies fly away. I had a serious case of "empty nest" syndrome when my youngest left for college and it took a while to come to terms with my mixed feelings of happiness for my children and loss for a wonderful chapter in my life. They will fly back and forth, from their new nests to the home nest and it is a joyful thing to see their growth and resiliency. Your son obviously has a direction for his life and is already accomplishing wonderful things, thanks to your guidance and no small giving of your own talent to him. Congratulations to him and to your family.

  22. Look how happy you are with your babies. Don't they grow up too fast? My son will be a Senior next year and I really can't believe how fast it went....one day you send them off to Kindergarten and the next thing you know they are almost done!

    Sounds like you have lots to be proud of:-)

    Hope you had a nice weekend.

    xoxo

  23. Congratulations and best wishes to your son on his graduation! How lucky he is to have a Mamma who encourages his artistic endeavors. My two boys are grown up, but we're still very close in our hearts. The picture of you playing with your guys just reminds me of how much I enjoyed "S" and "C" when they were little - Love it!
