A still unfinished project - story of my life!

I tend to be one of those artists who stop working when I'm not "feeling it" - which, in turn, tends to keep unfinished projects surrounding me. I have, however, been working on some home improvements, so, it's not like I haven't finished ANYthing, just nothing of substance, or at least what I consider having substance.

Take, for instance, this big fella - I stared at this large white canvas for months before actually getting any paint on it. Then, after getting some paint on it, and having to cover up some blue crayon that my little Abby thought it needed, it has just sat here, unfinished, for another several months. I hate to not finish it - but there are so many other "things" to do . . . plus, I do my best work in the early mornings. And getting up early these days isn't on my list of "must do" - I love to sleep! I hate to say, "after baby is born" but I'm afraid this big guy won't be finished until then. I beg myself internally to just get a small spattering of paint on this canvas - even if I don't initially like the spattering that I spatter! I'll do it . . . eventually.

In the mean time, the last several months have been filled to the brim with activities. Emi's 9th birthday was this past April, along with a trip to see Disney Princesses on Ice. Then Abby's 2nd birthday came up May 1st, along with Mother's Day, my birthday, James & my Anniversary. Then June came with Father's Day, and now July with the 4th celebration and this weekend is James' birthday! Mixed in there was a family vacation, a trip or two to the zoo, Emi's Cinderella ballet performance, VBS, Free Comic Book Day, miniature golfing and some other stuff too! WHEW! So, here are some photos of our past fun times for you to enjoy:
