Love how this bride styled one of our wedding signs and how the grey looks against the barn. #weddingsigns #ottawaweddings #welcometoourwedding #alwaysprettysigns

That’s a better picture from when I was too lazy to carry everything up from the basement. #weddingsigns #pickaseatnotaside #ottawaweddings #alwaysprettysigns

Reserving a couple of rows or even just seats is easy with the reserved wood signs, use ribbon to match your theme/colour. #reservedseating #weddingsigns #alwaysprettysigns

Stain always makes everything pretty. #slowprocess #woodarrows #arrows #alwaysprettysigns

This ones been a process, with a computer program that didn’t work to a paint splattered wood board that you only notice as you get all set up and ready to write your words!! How did that happen. Thank goodness for extra boards. I will be carrying more of extras from now on. First coat of writing done. #dontgiveup #weddingsigns #ottawaweddings #alwaysprettysigns

Wood chevrons on the table today. Thanks to @soniawhittaker for the great video I found a use for a big pile of wood. #christmasiscoming #woodchevronarrows #woodchevron #usewhatyouhave

My brother actually made most of my wedding signs. I have kept one that I display in my dining room but I think its time to let this one go. Great addition to your fall wedding! #fallwedding #weddingsigns #barnwoodsign #alwaysprettysigns @ Ottawa, Ontario

I should have really brought out my easel and dressed it with flowers but its just to darn hot. #pickaseatnotaside #alwaysprettysigns #weddingsigns

We can only hope that soon, we are welcoming our family and friends to our weddings again. #wedding #ottawaweddings #welcometoourwedding #alwaysprettysigns

Fill your windows with hearts...it will make you smile a little bit everyday even when our hearts are heavy with covid 19 and #novascotiastrong my hearts go out to all of them. @ Ottawa, Ontario

Todays painting with @missmustardseed was a study of an Edward Seago, swipe to see his work. The idea of these is to practice, to just get the paint on the canvas or card stock in my case because my index cards did not arrive in time. Clearly my clouds need more work. #oilpainting #progressoverperfection @ Ottawa, Ontario

Clouds are not as easy as you would think, but I will keep working on it. Another Friday painting class offered by @missmustardseed I so look forward to Fridays. #cloudstudy #oilpainting #alwaysprettysigns

This weeks project with @missmustardseed was colour charts. Mine was Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine Blue. Not gonna lie, I found painting the landscape last week a little less stressful. My pallet should not have that much paint on it at the end.

Friday I took part in a live oil painting class on Facebook by @missmustardseed It was a great stress reliever and I found myself lost in the process of mixing colour and applying it to a canvas. She has decided to do this again. Go and give her a follow. You wont regret it.

Its not my usual pretty spring chalk board but its probably the most important one. We are of the #stayhome belief. We miss our families terribly, we miss going out, we miss seeing friends but this is important...the sooner we all listen the better off well be. #staysafe #stayhome #covd19

Over the last few days I have been torn with the idea of to post or not to post. I have read many heart breaking stories on Facebook from brides who feel they need to postpone their weeding. Today I realized that postpone is the key word. Some weddings will go on and some brides are planning for next year, whatever the case may be I will continue to create. #ceremony #weddingsigns #woodsigns #alwaysprettysigns

Although the winter wonderland makes an awesome back drop. Wedding season is fast approaching. YAY! #pickaseatnotaside #weddingsigns #woodsigns #alwaysprettysigns

I am not a true calligrapher but I work at it trying to at least make sure that every e is the same, every s and n look close to each other. I am pretty happy with these 10 table numbers. #alwaysprettysigns #tablenumbers #ottawaweddings @ Ottawa Ontario Canada - National Capital

When it comes together exactly as you hoped. Now the not so fun part...pricing. #cards #destinationwedding #alwaysprettysigns #weddingsigns #ocean

I had an idea last night....lets see how it turns out. #youneverknowuntilyoutry #watercolor #alwaysprettysigns

Sleeping under the stars would mean winter is over and we would be camping again. Oh that would be so nice now! #sleepunderthestars #algonquinpark #alwaysprettysigns

The winter chalkboard is complete and since I chose a winter one rather than Christmas I have 5 months to plan my spring one. Merry Christmas! #alwaysprettysigns #winterwonderland #chalkboards #chalkboardart
