Did you notice my new header? I have wanted to come up with an original image for my blog for a while now and thought why not pull out my watercolors and give it a go?
So I began doodling and painting and then doodling some more and this is what I came up with...
What do you think? This is just one of the little things I've been tinkering with around here. I have been toying with the idea of switching to wordpress but I am just not sure this old brain is ready for that. I am having a case of the "if ain't broken then don't fix its". We'll see...
No telling what I'll come up with next now that I am creatively inspired.
Enjoy your weekend!
xo, Patty
I've joined Elaine over at Sunny Simple Mondays...
I love your new header, I think it's awesome that you have that talent!
ReplyDeleteYour header is so adorable, really, very cute! Now that I see how fresh and happy your header looks, it reminds me that I need to change mine out too....see how your inspiration spreads!
ReplyDeleteAwhile back when I was having so much trouble with Blogger, I made a wordpress blog, never doing anything with it but just wanted to have it there 'Just in case'.
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for being so inspiring. xo
I think it's a fun header, Patty! A friend and I are taking 4 watercolour classes this month, but I have yet to show any talent. I think I'll fiddle with some at home, though, and experiment a little.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend and drop by sometime, if you like.

I have been a quieter reader of your blog since I have been on a blogging break, but really do enjoy your posts.
ReplyDeleteNow I need to tell you something that you might think is a little strange. You creating your blog header is an answer to prayer. You see, I am an artist, (when I 'm not busy homeschooling my children) and I create both on paper and in my graphics art program. I have been having the hardest time creating a blog header for my own blog, (and I have already created dozens of designs that just don't look right.)
For the last several weeks, I have been praying in frustration over not being able to create the design I want for my blog, (as trite as that seems) but in response I keep getting,
"Draw and paint something on paper and skip the graphics."
(Ironically I create free blog headers that look just fine for others!)
And yet, in my own artistic insecurities and perfectionism, I keep ignoring the whole "draw and paint something on paper thing" and strive in vain on my graphics program. After another futile attempt today, I got the same thing. "Draw something!"
And then, your blog header and post popped up in my reader after taking a break!
So thank you for being brave enough to draw your own! It's very bright and cheery, and it is in step with the style of your Etsy creations!
On a side note, I know many are going with Wordpress, but I also know that Wordpress sites are constantly being hacked, and without proper support, can be a real source of frustration and a time sucker.
I use to be on Wordpress, but came back to Blogger!
Have a blessed week!
Thank you Leah Rose. Isn't wonderful how God creatively answers our prayers through others. The painting and doodling is mine and then I just added the graphic text in photo editing. It was a lot of fun...Good luck creating one unique to you!
DeleteLOVE it! Bright, beautiful and bold. You are so talented!

ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! It looks like the cover of a book...now you have to write a story about traveling down Lemon Lane ...:)
ReplyDeleteIt's so cheerful and sunny - makes me smile. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I love your new header so much! Now I am thinking I should paint one for my blog rather than use the one I made in Photoshop. I LOVE your blog!
