Nursery Art for our little Olivia Ryan
Well, the big day was October 21, 2010. Olivia was born at 2:04PM and life as I know it has forever changed. It’s pretty crazy how much love you can have for someone you’ve only known for 2 seconds. But I guess that’s what it’s like for any new parent. I haven’t posted anything here since September as the last weeks of pregnancy are filled with anxiety and sleepless nights. However, that was child’s play compared to the case of sleep deprivation I have now. Although I do long for the “soon to come” fuller nights of sleep, I can’t complain. Well, I could…but I’ll spare you the drama.
Before Olivia came, I started working on the artwork for her nursery. I could have just gone a purchased some pieces…but that seems silly since I have all the supplies and talent needed right here at home. I wanted to share some of the work with you.
Here’s the big one I painted:
Now, I was fortunate enough to have some other artists join in. Her dad was next….
And then a truly special treat…my 6 yr. old niece Annika, who actually named Olivia
, wanted to have her work featured as well. Sorry these pics are a bit green…but the lighting today pretty much sucks. I’ll have to take new pics later.
I do have additional work to feature…but I think I’ll wait til I have better lighting in there. Now, I couldn’t end this post without a pic of our girl Olivia…afterall…it is her room.










She is a lucky little girl as well as beatiful! I am happy for you and Rick!
