JCrew Sketching

I love JCrew...so why not sketch the catalogue for practice.



Just a few pictures....

This week was my baby's birthday...26!  I thought I would post one of the gifts I made her here:

I followed this tutorial, http://jensownroad.blogspot.com/2011/03/painted-rain-boots.html

I also wanted to share the lovely cake her older sister made her...

Isn't Pinterest a marvelous place???



Easter projects

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.  I was busy up to the last moment making the girls' rabbits and baskets.  Here's a peak.....

Olivia's has the body of the Mimi Kirchner pattern on Purl Bee and then I just winged the head....

I felt a little like the movie, Coraline.

Lily's needed to be something that could go straight into her mouth....and it did.

I made the baskets from grocery bags and then cascarones from our eggs!!

Every holiday fiesta should have a little confetti!

And in the background, homemade chocolate covered marshmallows and....

this carrot garden cake.  I made it all the time when my kids were little.  What a joy to bring it back for our grand kids.  A considerable amount of work but well worth it!
