Illustration Friday: Myth

Every now and then I pop over to the Illustration Friday site to see what the topic of the week is. If it inspires me enough I'll whip up an illustration for it, which is what I did for this week's topic of "Myth".  I went with the mythical mermaid. I guess I've always had a thing for mermaids since Ariel :) It's just nice to pretend they really are out there somewhere like angels of the sea.

Anywho, check out the other submissions over on Illustration Friday or even submit your own if you're up for a challenge!

Downton Abbey and a Milestone

I always look forward to Sunday nights because Downton Abbey comes on! I curl up with some tea and watch away :) Season 3 is getting pretty spicy! Did a little illo of the castle for fun. 

Have you guys been watching Downton Abbey too? What do you think so far?

I reached a milestone this weekend of 100 Sales in the shop! So over the moon and thankful for the success my little shop has had so far! Hoping this is only the beginning :) Thank you if you have supported my handmade shop or support other handmade shops.

Cheers!

Reflecting on Christmas 2012

Our visit to the Biltmore Estate

Hiked up to the beautiful Triple Falls

The guys talking about manly hiking stuff :)

Dupont State Park is a magical place

Cold mountain days snuggled up with a good book and a hot cup of cocoa next to my love, hiking through beautiful woodsy scenery to the most amazing waterfalls, cooking delicious meals together, playing board games, knitting, and doodling have made for a wonderful end to the year. 

Here's to a joyous NEW YEAR of dream chasing! All my love, Rhi
