Gratitude: I have the best husband and sister ever

I have the BEST HUSBAND AND SISTER.
First, I ordered a chair for my new art studio corner but it turned out to be way too tall (it was a drafting chair & I neglected to measure my desk height properly). Jeff Ridpath figured out how to modify the chair to make it work and now it's PERFECT. I feel very lucky to have a husband who is a handyman as well as a technonerdboy. This is only one of many, many ways he has been supporting me in my career.
I've also been careening from "this is so cool" to panic and waves of insecurity as I experiment with traditional physical art techniques for an upcoming book project. I feel like such a newbie! Envious of those of you with proper art training. Anyway, my awesome and super-experienced sister Ruth Ohi came to the rescue! Not only did she show me some watercolour technique tips but also offered practical advice about my setup and tools. Feeling much better about stuff now. THANK YOU, SIS!!!!
Feeling very, very lucky to have the husband and sister that I do. Can't imagine doing what I do without their encouragement and support.
I also encourage you to check out Ruth's doodles on Instagram:http://instagram.com/ruthohi and find out more info about her work at http://www.ruthohi.com/
