Word!! She's so tough and Stuff

Look at her. Isn't she the cutest thing alive? yes. yes she is. This is the wee little daughter of my very good friends Fourleafclover and V. They marinate themselves some pretty adorable chitlins.

Anyway, a long time ago, i posted on this blog about making my first ever baby sweater, and hat, and booties. Well, here they are in all her glory! She looks so warm, and gangta-ish. like she's ready to totally bust a cap in someone's diaper.

i asked her a while back for a picture to post of her wearing the gear, and she complied shortly after, but then i got busy and wasn't able to get my act together long enough to do it. UNTIL NOW!

There are more things missing from this blog, too. Now that i think about it.

There were a few crafty items that were created as Festivus gifts, and it being Festivus - i didn't want to post anything for fear of them sneakin' a peek.

But a few things are:
A Ceramic Angel that i made for my mother in law - no picture. dang.

A Ceramic Fairy that i made for my sister-in-law, again, no picture... dang

and a Watercolour of a Fairy for the same sister-in-law... again... no picture.

well.

maybe she'll be so kind as to take a picture for me so i can post it. oh, and for Festivus she gave me watercolour paper... her funny way of hinting that she wanted a painting.... lol....

and as one of my new years suggestions was to take up knitting again, maybe i'll post more stuff soon.

Tea For Two

last month after my success with my own breast, i decided to try a different subject.


i have to say i'm quite impressed with this one. i could still improve on my backgrounds a bit, but it's getting better.

i found that my biggest downfall was impatience. I need to let the paint dry between coats or else it turns into a bleedy mess. boourns. So after figuring that one out, i brought in my hair dryer and we were in business!!


"tea for two" watercolour and ink 5"x7"

a gift for Teeni

booties so cute-y

The only good thing that has come from me being Sick for the last couple of days is that i was able to make these cute little booties for Fourleafclover's cute little bitty baby who is just wee... what is she, two months now? or just a month? anyway, you get the picture. Her name is Ivy, hence the green of the booties instead of the stereotypical pink.

i also made her a little green hat to go with it, but forgot to take a picture of it... so...maybe Fourleafclover will send me a pic of it, perhaps on a baby's head?? hint hint.

Hawaiian Hibiscus

My friend Kate took the photo, i did the paint...
i'm trying to brush up on my watercolour skillz of an artist... this is the first painting done with the new paints i bought on the weekend. I'm a little rusty, obviously.
