Introducing my Patreon page

June 29, 2020 by Lisa Lehmann

The last blog post I wrote on February 11 was right after my mom passed away. Also. It was the day before I found out I had breast cancer. Who knew on that day my life would go into a complete tailspin? Since then so many things have happened. To me personally. To our world. To our country. To say life has given me lemons this year is a massive understatement. However? Oh, the lemonade I have had!

To say life has given me lemons this year is a massive understatement. However? Oh, the lemonade I have had!

I have had to dig deep, very deep, just to get through each day. But I also have a business to run. A business that I love. That I truly cherish. Not because of the income, but because it’s my passion, and the people it has brought into my life…that would be you…mean the world to me. What this meant was doing some serious thinking about the future of Lisa Lehmann Designs. What is next? How do I best continue? What best supports my passion, what I love to create, and my time in the studio? And what supports my clients, my friends and gives them more. How can I best serve, birth new designs, and maintain a sustainable business without exhausting myself and bombarding my clients? How can I reward loyalty and follow my artistic vision?

My short term walking away from the studio in January to care for my mom turned into something I would rather not repeat. For a while, I thought I would lose my business. I thought maybe it’s just time to raise the white flag. Yet. You stood by me.

I have learned MANY lessons this season. One. Is loyalty. From people who are way more than customers to me. Two. Is being innovative when I wasn’t sure I had it in me. And three. The art of asking for help and receiving it. I literally could not do things on my own.

Tuesday Tell All

February 11, 2020 by Lisa Lehmann

It’s been a while since my last Tuesday Tell all…which was a snippet about what my mom loved. Sadly, she passed on the 18th and I have been consumed with that. Honestly, it’s been hard to get back into the swing of things. You don’t know what life will be like without your mom until she’s just not there.

I’ve been back in the studio, slowly getting reacclimated, and now it’s time to get back to this piece of my work. The Tuesday Tell All. Things I love right now that I want to share with you. Ready?

favorite items of the week

What am I reading?

I spent a ton of time in my car driving back and forth to where my parents are the last month and audio books have been my saving grace. Two books I read stand out as must-reads. The Tattooist of Auschwitz was NOT an easy thing to read, but so good. And staying in that them a bit was Beneath A Scarlet Sky. Both were amazing. Educational. Insightful. Thought-provoking.

What am I eating for breakfast?

Oatmeal. I tend to get stuck in a rut when it comes to breakfast. I like to pack as much protein as possible into my day and this is a great way to start. But I don’t just make oatmeal. I add a scoop of protein powder. It sweetens the oatmeal without adding sugar and gives it the extra protein I need to start in the morning. I make my oatmeal microwave style. Half a cup of oats, one cup of water. After it’s cooked I add in my protein and a handful of blueberries. Let it sit a bit. Then stir in some almond milk. Creamy and amazing! The protein powder I love in my Oatmeal is salted caramel by MyProtein you can purchase that here. 

What am I doing for a hobby?

This seems like a bit of a funny one, but I get asked this a lot. I think because what is my fulltime job is many peoples hobby! I have found my solace in painting. I love it. The wide brush strokes. Doing something on a larger scale. I love acrylic on canvas, but I also love painting on my iPad. I use a few different apps. My current favorite is Adobe Procreate. Not free, I think it’s $9.99 but worth it. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but there are a ton of tutorials out there. It feels the most like a brush to me. I painted this for my mom’s funeral folder cover. I think it looks very watercolor realistic.

What is my must-have for my skin?

I struggle with eczema. I always have. It pops up with stress…and as you can imagine…it’s been running rampant on my body as of late. Recently, it started showing up mostly on my eyes and neck. Annoying. I have tried EVERYTHING. I even tried fancy prescriptions. Nothing seemed to help. A friend suggested a CBD cream. I was a bit skeptical. Until I tried it. Ummm…it works! Like whoa, it works. I purchased Charlotte’s Web cream at my local health store, it’s pricey…but you don’t need much. I can’t tell you how happy I am I tried this. It’s amazing.

What is my favorite piece of jewelry RIGHT NOW?

If I had a penny for everytime I’m asked this question I’d have…a lot of pennies! LOL. Currently, since it is February, not only is Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, it’s also the month for Amethyst. I knew amethyst had all sorts of super powers…. taken from The Energy Muse:

Amethyst healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness. Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness.

I think I must need amethyst in my life right now for many reasons…so I’m wearing this bracelet NON STOP. I have three more available if you are interested.

 

That’s all I have for this week. If there is anything you want to know just shoot me an email!

Tuesday Tell All my mom edition

January 7, 2020 by Lisa Lehmann

Today’s Tuesday Tell is devoted to my mom.

Her health is failing and I’m spending a large part of every day sitting by her bedside for several hours. This made me think of all the things she loves and I thought I would share them with you.

favorite items of the week

What my mom most loved to read?

Cookbooks. My mom was an EXCELLENT cook, even though she didn’t hardly cook at all in the last decade (or two) I mean she kind of earned it, she still loved perusing cookbooks. Taste of Home is one of her favorites. And to be honest I still use several recipes from those cookbooks. You can find most of them online now…click here…and honestly, they are real tried and true recipes. Mostly ones for true comfort food. Check it out.

Tuesday Tell All

December 3, 2019 by Lisa Lehmann

Welcome to December! Anyone else thinks it’s crazy to be finishing off 2019. Like where did it go?

For this week’s Tuesday Tell All I have some fun things I am currently crushing on! It’s a light version today…I am SWAMPED with Christmas orders and events so I must get back to the studio!

favorite items of the week

What am I buying?

I don’t have time to “go shopping”, I’m sure most of you can relate. I am a very proficient online shopper LOL. Recently I had portraits taken of my girls together and a few with all of us. I wanted to get them printed on canvas. Strangely…as if google reads my mind…ads started popping up. I decided to click through and found easy Canvas prints. I ordered several. Whoa. Super impressed. They look AMAZING. They were inexpensive. AND? They shipped SO FAST! Did I mention their prices are amazing? Click here to shop.

What am I obsessed with?
