Here's a lovely image for Valentine's Day. I got it from The Graphics Fairy at http://www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/. You can download all kinds of wonderful graphics from her site for free. I think I'll be visiting her regularly.

I finally finished painting the pictures/alphabet letters I've been working on for the last two months. They are for my daughter and son-in-law's soon-to-be-adopted baby. She asked me if I would paint a large picture for one wall of the nursery. Through a friend I got the idea to do these alphabet letters. She had a set of them that she got for her grandchildren. They were published by Houghton Mifflin, and I have to confess - I copied them! I bought a couple tablets of primed 9x12 canvas, some tube acrylics and got to work. I just thought it would be so eye-catching to plaster them all over the wall in staggered sets on little shelves (think Martha Stewart here).

This was taken at Christmas, 2009, with their new puppy they got from a rescue site. He came from Mexico and was treated in this country for an unattended broken leg and then placed for adoption. He's a sweetie. They lost their Australian Shepherd/American husky dog, Siska, a year ago July (2007) to cancer, and it took Temple awhile to be ready to get another pooch.

Some do-dads I hung in the corner. The little quilt piece with colored pencil face drawing is something I learned in an online class taught by Angela Jarecki.

Here is the finished project. It is a mini "window" quilt with a hand-drawn face done in colored pencil. The pattern is from an online class taught by Angela Jarecki.

Come to my garden

This is as far as I've gotten. Hey, it's a start!

Today I worked on a Window Face mini quilt. It's an online class hosted by Angela Jarecki. You start out by drawing a face in colored pencil on cloth, then you add crazy quilt pieces around the window, free stitching them in place. Next come embellishments, which I haven't gotten to yet.

The little girl doll I sculpted last week to place in my shop has a tiny red dot on her arm that I can't remove. I tried to scrape it off with a blade, but it seems to be embedded, and because I already have her baked and glazed I can't re-bake her. One more road block, but I'm getting used to that.
