Design In All Directions

I pledge to be the baddest bish I can be. For myself and all the other women out there My business would be nothing without the female support it has received since day one. One female after another has bet on this work horse and have each done their part to push me further and further to grow and develop what was once a hobby. All those days when I didn't think my own business was worth having anymore, a woman told me I had it in me to do it. ... My career wouldn't be where it is, even right now, without the support of certain female figures I've encountered on my professional journey. All those nights when I didn't think I could cut it on the corporate ladder, a woman told me I'd make a phenomenal boss one day. Me. I wouldn't be here to even write this post, or celebrate all the women in my life time after time, day after day, if the one greatest woman of all had chose a different life. All those days, all those nights - the most significant support always came from another amazing woman.

the satisfaction of filling in a space with fresh lines BUT also, can you see the difference of what a sweet quick fill looks like, and how long those crisp lines actually take? when you order a custom painted sign - the time it takes to get that design down can be significant, but it just continues to speak to how much care and thought goes into each piece, and how personal it gets.... #timelapse #satisfying #fillintheblanks #crisplines #brushstrokes #freshpaint #painting #acrylicpaint #colorswatch #tester #doityourself #shoplocal #supportlocal #smallbusiness #entrepreneur #bossbabe #promo #handmade #handlettering #handpainted #typography #chalkboardart #chalkboardsign #chalkboardartist See more

I don't know what a New Years is, and I don't want to take this photo. I would like some cookies for my troubles. ... Thank you to every single soul for your support, love, and kind words through this entire dumpster fire of a year. While there's been plenty of negatives to dwell on, there are also lots of positive moments to cherish and be grateful for. The first half of the year was pretty bleak, dark and confusing. One of my greatest highs was when I bought a gravity chair as a birthday gift to myself and elevated my day drinking game to the next level. LOL WTF ? One of my lowest lows was not being able to hug my parents whenever I wanted. Especially since my mother is an ICU nurse. Being laid off twice especially after rebooting from the first shut down was especially draining. It really still is. But like those times when you're coming of age and stop drinking every night and start going to bed earlier - I've had a lot of free time to think about what I want for myself, and Baby Taco of course. What I want for my career, and my business, and my future. There is still a lot to think about, a lot to decide, and overall a lot of work and personal growth to be done. But when I think of some of my darkest days, I know I've come a long way, and I know I'm doing better. I am proud, and though I am idle with pent up energy, I am on a new path. Thank you for your constant love, for myself, and all local makers. Keep on keeping on being creative, proactive, and safe. See you next year *and scene* See more

I still don't love rounds, they're tricky, but I do love this sign a reminder that you CAN go the distance with love. Be it a partner or 40 doggos and maybe a handful of bunnies. Or both, I don't know. If the universe says 50 dogs, 100 dog rescue farm it is. But I digress Thank you @fionaevelynnn for shopping local and supporting my little living room business so I may have 200 dogs in the future. ... #familyestablished #familylove #famjam #lovingreminders #memories #family #gothedistance #rescuedogfarmdream #lifegoals #threedecadesandcounting #familydecor #homedecor #decor #homesweethome #familyisforever #chalkboardart #chalkboardartist #chalkbaordsign #roundsign #handmade #handlettering #calligraphy #typography #woodsigns #woodprojects #acrylicpaint #shoplocal #supportlocal #smallbusiness #smallbusinessachristmas See more
