   My husband entered me into the annual AWOL Gallery Square Foot show here in Toronto, without asking me first!  I spent a minute or two huffing and puffing  about it and then got down to work.  This is a not very nice scan of of my entry, which I did at the last minute, because I had forgotten to do so prior to the due date day.  Anyway, much to my delight, it sold!  It is a bit of a sloppy first try ( I didn't even sign the original! )  of some print ideas  I would like to get going and sell on etsy as well as in my friends gorgeous shop Pixel Print.  ( She does great printing of all kinds if you are in need and local! )  I want to get some personal work going again and I hope that since my little boy is so passionate about cars and trucks, many other boys must be too!  I think I have mentioned this before...

   It's interesting how I am finding again, very slowly, my (new?) voice, post baby.  My baby is nearly two and a half and I am enjoying it more and more every day, and for that I am very grateful.  I had rough time of it in those early newborn days, it was like being swept up into a tornado sometimes, so seeing light and so much joy now is a huge, huge  blessing.  Today he said to me "I'm a little zebra putting on a jacket".   If that doesn't melt your heart , I don't know what would!  Multiply that by a billion times every day and you get the picture.  Grateful grateful.

I am glad that you are finding your voice again! I always love your drawings and illustrations. I think the print above would look great as a fabric!

You could print fabric with this design through spoonflower. It would be fun stationery as well.
