| CHRISTMAS PRIZEAPOLOOZA 2019 | Do Christmas with Jess and her dots

Posted in The Nest giveaways by centralwestnest

This is a fantastic local business that you really need to know about! Jess Does Dots is owned and operated by the incredibly talented Jess Sandford (Channon) and is located in Orange.

Jess Does Dots creates original art (framed and on canvas), hand painted earrings, hand painted Christmas decorations and canvas print bags.

The thing that sets Jess apart is that her masterpieces are handcreated with love and talent and some of her paintings can take weeks to finish! The time she spends on these creations are not reflected in her price but you can tell when you recieve one of her items just how much time and love has gone into it.

This business began after one of Jess’ friends make the suggestion for Jess to have an outlet. Jess suffered severe postnatal depression and anxiety and her friend (who was a nurse) suggested it could help her cope. Jess had obtained a top mark in the NSW HSC Art body of work and finally had a reason to switch off from everyday life and focus on her creative side.

You feel the heart in everyone of Jess’ creations.

{Raising Little People} 10 Questions to ask your kids about their art

Posted in Raising Little People by centralwestnest

Maybe one day, Confucius say: Hell hath no fury like a toddler who catches you disposing of their artwork.

The little people with their mighty egos often believe that each and everyone of their artworks is capable of competing with the Mona Lisa or The Birth Of Venus however when you find yourself submerged with the 76th-hundred drawing of a stick for the day it is hard to remember that each artwork often has it’s own story and that there is often a reason behind their ‘creative genius’.

We found this fabulous article that suggests 10 Questions To Ask Your Child About Their Art. It is definitely worth a read.

One day the little birdies will no longer create simply for the fun of it, nor will they honestly believe that each one is the finest one ever created, so take the time, ask the questions and explore the magic of your little one’s mind.

Happy parenting Nesters x

{The Nest Loves} True love isn’t just poems and roses

Posted in Great pieces by centralwestnest

True love isn’t just voluptuous bunches of red roses and love poem serenades. More often it is dishes and comfort and kindness.

Korean artist “Puuung” has captured the love that people actually relate to. She is remarkably clever with her illustrations and we LOVE the honesty of them.

You can find the full works here -> Grafolio

Just perfect.

{The Nest Loves} Eat. Drink. Chic.

Posted in Great pieces, Organise your nest, This is life by centralwestnest

Holy guacamole batman – cancel your plans for today.

I am so cereal.

I am about to show you the best way to ~~waste~~ re-spend your day.

Please let me introduce you to the VERY talented and completely generous Amy Moss from Eat Drink Chic. She has a completely pimpin’ website that just consumes me.

It is pretty and special and delightful. Best of all it is guaranteed to make you smile.

Amy is a graphic designer who loves all things gorgeous and actually creates (and shares for completely un-co design peeps like me) free printables to make your stuff look good. It is great to see someone so clever, doing so well.
