This is the bedroom/studio/workspace of my cousin, Miss A. (sister to THIS COUSIN that got married a couple summers ago) She is an artist, remember her name because clearly she will be quite famous one day for her wondrous ways and endearing, charming imagination. She's like a pixie in the flesh creeping out of the woods to drop some beauty into our laps. Feast your eyes and enjoy...plus give her credit if you copy any of the photos to your blogs or pinterest board or whatever. THIS is some of her work, ink and water color. Magical, is it not? Self portrait. The dolls, the leaves, the tree branch over her bed, the paper stars...her creativity never ends. Her room is like an Anthropologie display, times 10, plus magic. I've been wanting to blog about it for a while now and I'm so happy I finally got around to snapping some photos whilst I was visiting back at our old home...because... My Big Sis HAD HER BABY!!! The family would like to keep their privacy so I am quite sad to say that I am not posting pics or details as far as names and such BUT I can tell you that I made it back in time to be there for the birth. It was only about 3 and 1/2 hours of labor at home in a birthing pool, it was beautiful and perfect and no complications and it was a boy. He is wonderful and darling and I want to eat him up. The new midwife was amazing and I was so happy with her care for my sis. The Kidlet's Cousin was there for the last 20-30 minutes and kept rubbing and patting her head saying, "you are having very hard work mama, you can do it, you are so strong, so brave!" And periodically said, "Deeeeep breaths". I spent most of the time bent over the edge of the pool pushing on her lower back (Thank God it was only 3 hours ish this time, my arms were shaking by the end!!!) Anywho, thank you all for your prayers for my sister, she was so appreciative of them and everything has come out beautifully! Lovies and Lyrics, -K
