Inspiration: Shaun the Sheep
Published in: Inspiration, Link, Personal
Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday season :) I decided to take a couple months off in order to spend some time with Isaac but now that it’s the New Year, I’d like to get back to work. I know things are going to be quite different though – I used to have all day to work and now I have an hour here and there. It’s going to be different but I wouldn’t change it for the world! Isaac is such a wonderful baby and I love spending time with him :)
Over the holidays, my mom introduced me to Shaun the Sheep. He’s the subject of this inspiration post! Now many of you may already be aware of Shaun the Sheep but being from Canada and not having any kids until now, I am not the most familiar with children’s programming. This show is from the UK and has the cutest characters and story lines. You can view an episode here.
“Peace in the valley turns into mayhem in the meadow as Shaun leads his flock into all sorts of scrapes and scraps, running rings around sheepdog Bitzer when the Farmer’s back is turned.” www.shaunthesheep.com

On another note, I’ve also included Isaac’s two month photo! He now weighs 14.8lbs and measures almost 26 inches! I can’t believe how big he is for two months… I think I’m going to have to get him into basketball or something ;)
I hope to be back to posting for Illustration Friday and making lots of new illustrations. I’ll keep you posted on any new projects I’m working on and also be posting about some new stamps coming your way very soon!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Rachelle,
Isaac is absolutely scrumptious! Just wait until he becomes mobile! You’ll be even busier then and things WILL be quite different! :) He certainly makes for wonderful inspiration for all your beautiful work! ♥
Hugs!
