Farm life

Image 7/ Book of Blessings
My Dad has a little farm in Connecticut and I grew up visiting him in the summertime. He had cows and chickens and even a milk cow named Betty. I would feed her the molasses oat blend from a barrel with a big scoop. I still love that smell to this day. Thanks for that pleasant memory Dad :)

Exploding Hearts

Image 4/ Book Of Blessings. This weekend was so fun....I spent it mostly with my little family minus one (daughter is in Chicago). The weather was beautiful. Funny thing is..we had to go to the laundromat to get a futon cover cleaned and we even had fun there! It was an adventure for our little Finley which is just the coolest thing. It's these simple moments that fill my heart with the utmost joy. Hope you had a good weekend too and the weather was sunny for you :) ~SW

Book Of Blessings/75 Graces From Around The World



In the fall I illustrated a book called Book of Blessings for Running Press/Perseus and it will be out March 25! It's available on Amazon, most likely Barnes and Noble and hopefully cute mom and pop bookstores as well. I think one of my favorite things about this book is it's size. It's 2.9 x 3.4 inches. I just can't take it. So tiny! Anyway, in honor of spring I'll post a page from the book each day for the next 30 days because I'm REALLY grateful for getting through the winter and seeing little buds on the trees. This book touches on just that, feeling grateful and content with what you have. Through age old proverbs and prayers from all around the world it sends a message of enjoying the simple things in life like good food, nature and the people you love. Pretty neat. Below is the first page I'm sharing. Sometime soon I will also be selling some of the images in my Etsy shop along with some possible tote bags. Stay tuned!
