New Year's Resolutions

 
Happy 2017 y’all! We are just about 2 weeks in and I am starting on my first resolution which of course is: POSTING ON HERE MORE. A lot of things have been competing for my time over the last year, including PLANNING MY WEDDING! So excited April is coming sooner than I thought though and there are TONS of things to get done before then but the major things are settled.



In true geek fashion, we are having a themed wedding, Doctor Who to be exact! So when the day comes be ready for lots and lots of TARDIS pictures. Consider yourselves warned!


  I am also tackling a new “medium” for myself: pastries. So right now I’m exploring #winesfordessert its my slogan for the marriage between my love of wine and my love for creativity.#imnotalush #butilovemyvino #winesfordessert is creating pastries while using wines, namely local Virginia wines as a main ingredient in the confections. Hoping to roll that into something commercial but right now in the early stages. #2017goals I have so far posted pictures of my first two creations (that I’ve allowed to be public) on my Instagram @dcurbanpixie and one of those creations was retweeted/shared by the winery I produced it from. My Greenhill Blanc de Blancs cupcakes caught Greenhill’s attention so what a great way to finish 2016 and begin 2017. All smiles over here so be prepared, in the words of Scar from “The Lion King”, for more shares on this end.


Of course lets not forget why we are here in the first place, paintings! I will be posting more soon and creating more work, now that I am getting back on track with my personal pursuits. Part of why I slowed down is I just simply needed the mental break after Grad School. Getting my MA was a lot of work, time, and pretty much took all of my creative juices when it came to writing paper after paper after paper. All worth it in the end as I got to walk for my graduation in 2016 (although I technically graduated in Dec 2015) and I now have an MA at the end of my name. Lots of new things happened last year, all good at least on a personal note (otherwise 2016, well, we know how we all feel about that year now don’t we), and lots more to come from 2017.

Last but not least, I want to say thanks to all those that continued to stay followers on this page. I love you all! So here is to a happy, productive, goal achieving, spectacular 2017.

Cheers!
