2 Pieces of Exciting News
My new Etsy shop is up and running! You'll find my lovely watercolors, most on handmade paper. The new name is:
Second, I would like to introduce you to
Patina is a local art and craft venue where I have been invited to show my watercolors from January 20th to February 13th!
Here is a little more about Patina in the owner's words, "Patina is more than your average boutique. Our shop will feature a weekly-rotated group of local artists, small craft classes and a place for the whole neighborhood to come admire, purchase and learn about great handmade art.
Patina feels like a retail store – it’s open 11 a.m. - 7 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday – but with a homey, inviting touch. It has a great easy-to-find location on Main Street in Pleasant Grove.
Patina offers a variety of unique, stylish handmade items all in one place – and because the selection changes weekly, there’s always a reason to come back. Everyone who visits Patina can learn about the world of art – artists and not-yet-artists alike. Local artists/crafters/creators can gather to sell their creations AND learn from each other".
Isn't that rad?! I love the whole concept and am VERY excited to participate. Please spread the word about Patina; if you or anyone you know would like to apply to show your creative awesomeness click HERE.
Come see me and other super talented people Jan 20-Feb 14!

Evelyn is 2 Months Old!
I absolutely LOVE being Evelyn's mom; it is so fun to hang out with her all the time. Last night I was thinking about all the changes that have happened and everything she can do now.
-Last night she rolled over from her stomach to her back. I couldn't believe it! One second she was on her tummy and then *POP* right onto her back. She did it the first time by herself, then two more times she got half way and my brother gave her a little help.
-She smiles now; it's usually in the mornings when she's super happy.
-She babbles all the time. I love watching her interact with her cousins because it's like she's having a conversation with them. Her hands are waving around and she's 'oooing' and 'aaaing'.
-When she's in the right mood she will lift her head up and move it around while I'm holding her. She will also move it from side to side when she's on her tummy.
-Speaking of tummy time, yesterday she started doing this thing where she lifts her legs and her head at the same time, so cute.
I think Evelyn is sooo great (of course though, right? I'm her mom)! I can't wait to watch her change this next month.

Anyone Else Twittering?
I just got an account...but still not sure how this whole twitter thing works. Here is my name
colorheart
so follow me/let me know your fun name.
Also, I am redoing my Etsy store! I got a new account and I'm calling the store colorheart (hence the twitter name). The name Kara Enterprises is significant to me because of a fantastic wedding gift I got from an amazing lady, but I'm going to keep that name with the gift and not my Etsy. I am excited to brainstorm a new image and photograph the paintings that I finished long ago.

emails to m
excerpts to my love, during my travels:
The world seems impossible to cross until you get half way there and all you've missed is a sunset. There are strings connecting us from point to point. A women living in the counrtyside of the Czech Republic is from Newport Beach, that makes the world feel small. I feel myself moving along strings like a zipline. Quickly! From Prague to Berlin to Croatia to Amsterdam. I feel this tiny section of the world being woven together by me...
The quilted chartreuse hills in Šumava are wrapping around us. Let's lay on them and look at the clouds. Unlike anything we've ever seen, whiter than ice or an ipod, softer than down or cotton balls. They are so close to our faces moving at a rapid pace; our necks bend back trying to hold on to each one. What should we talk about now? Or can we even talk? We are in such awe at the beauty around us. There is so much beauty it could make you cry.There is so much beauty it could make you cry.
