Karina's Baby Shower

August 28, 2012

I had a blast working with Karina on the invitation for her baby shower. The hostesses called it a "feather the nest" theme. Love it!

There are lots of things I try and do for myself in the form of self-care that involve TOUCH. Once a month I make time to get a pedicure, mostly because I love the scrub and massage, pretty toes at the end is just a perk. The vast majority of my work requires reliable dexterity in my hands, so I’ve been adding in a manicure here and there too. Fun fact: I really dislike having color on my fingernails. It’s a visual distraction for me, so I always prefer to just get my nails buffed. On my toes, any color goes. I spend lots of time creating graphics and artwork on my computer, so I have to remember to get back in touch with a pen or a paintbrush and paper or canvas. I drew this mama last week. She has a watercolor side too that I will merge with this ink drawing on my computer, and she has a few friends that I may share when they’re finished. Maybe. Thanks @downwithadventure for this fun challenge! #selfcareadventurechallenge I’m accepting @downwithadventure’s self care challenge! The first day was SIGHT and this right here is one of the ways I take care of my sight. I love to take photos of beautiful places and I’m a sucker for flowers. We joined with our @hikeitbaby family for a stroll around the Utah State Capitol Building yesterday where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. The sky was an intoxicating shade of blue and it was a welcome reprieve from weeks of rain and snow. I got home feeling rested and content. And my preschooler was more than happy to smile for photos, so that helped too. Southern Utah, you take my breath away. When I was in college, even though I was majoring in animation (yeah, that changed), a still-life painting class was a required course. Before it even started, I dreaded it. I had loved painting landscapes, but I’d never painted a bowl of fruit or a vase of flowers. The idea seemed daunting to my early-twenty-something self and I had zero interest in a subject matter that I considered boring. Little did I know that still-life painting class would turn out to be one of my favorite classes ever. Not only did I learn more about what makes good composition and how to use light and color in different ways, but that class became a source of stress-relief when other classes, a long commute, and work had me frazzled and feeling overwhelmed. Even though a few paintings from that class were sold or gifted to family (my grandma called dibs on a few), this painting remains my favorite and it resides on my dresser still. Seeing it reminds me of the chill time I spent in that class and how something that was originally daunting turned out to be a really wonderful time. Head on over to my blog (alextebow.com) to read more and see some of the other paintings from that still-life class that were worth putting in a frame... well, I thought so at the time. 16 years later, many still sit in a box. 🤣 A bit of a throwback to Nathan’s robot-themed 4th birthday party. We made fun invitations, a t-shirt graphic, favor tags, food labels, a pennant banner, and a sign for the front door. It was such a fun theme to work with. And I can’t believe he just turned 9 this month! Happy happy birthday Nathan, XOXO! Last year’s Hike it Baby 30 sticker from the November challenge paid homage to those of us who get out and hike, even with snow on the ground. Hiking in the snow isn’t my favorite, but I have had some really memorable snowy hikes. • I’m working on the sticker for the next Hike it Baby 30 Challenge in April. Any thoughts on what it’s going to look like? 👀 After a storm, the sky is so blue it hurts your eyes. Even with beauty like this, I’m so ready for spring to get here! Fishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day from my boys. We’re Hooked on you! 😉
