Party till you drop

All the gang enjoying some birthday cake.

Abby wanted a Yoda birthday cake, I think that is so cute. She is a huge star Wars fan.

Happy birthday Abby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A pampered afternoon. Kirsten took Sloan and Abby to get their nails done. When they got home Abby's Nana fixed her most yummiest famous tacos for the girls. Then the girls provided a little entertainment for the family with some Hannah Montana karaoke.

We are so blessed to have Kirsten and her family in our lives. I know Sloan loves having Abby as a best bud. This was a special weekend for Sloan. She loves to go and get her nails done. I don't take her because it's just not my thing (pedicures are a different story). So this was a super special treat.

The sketch in progress

It's a little crooked, but you get the idea. (See original sketch on earlier post). I took the idea from the original sketch and tweaked it a bit. The size of this painting is tiny, 6 inches. I am going to lay down the color tomorrow, and when it is done it will find a home in my very last gold frame. All these paintings will go in the girls room for now. I would love to get to the point where I can't find a place to hang my work. That would mean I was working toward one of my goals, getting a body of work together for an art show. Will post more photos tomorrow.

A talented crafter

Thought I would add a super talented crafter to my "links I like" area. Nancy Bevin's is a wool felting artist. Her wool felted animals are some of the most adorable things I have ever seen. I wish she would illustrate a children's book with her whimsical little animals. If you have a few minutes, her site is well worth the visit.

I am off to paint. Sewing will have to wait until later. Hopefully toward the end of the week. I will be posting some more photo's tomorrow.

A note of consern

Yup, this is just a little note of "consern" and yes I know the spelling of concern is incorrect. The reason I am posting this little tidbit of information is that for some reason my spell check isn't working. Anyone who knows me well knows that I am the worlds worst speller. Just thought I would warn everyone. Thanks for being patient with my shortcomings.

The White Rabbit joins Alice

The White Rabbit with Alice and Dinah.

The White Rabbit has a list that should be here shortly.

Here are two of the darling creations from my friends at Cordwood Cabin. If you have a chance to take a peek at their blog it is worth it. They have quite the imaginations. If you happen to see the Mad Hatter, don't even think about biding on him, he's mine, all mine! Ah hahahahahaha! Just kidding of corse, but he would be a perfect addition to my Alice and White rabbit don't you think? Hope everyone is having a lovely Friday. I will be starting another painting today and then tomorrow I will be starting a series of some sewing art. It has been a while and I have a few pieces of mending to do. If I am going to take the time to bring out the sewing stuff, its going to be for more than just the mending.
