Well, I did a few more in the Sweet Ones series-2 tags and a tiny wall hanging. They are handpainted. Just a bit of background of me for those in blog land. I had formal drawing/painting from art school many moons ago. My professors wanted me to become a fine artist and I even had scholarships to continue. Life's challenges intervened but after many stories in my life, I circled back to my creativity and painting. It's a small start. I'm very very rusty as I haven't sketched or illustrated in a long time. I'm working at it and that's all I can ask for right now.
And a few Christmas Tags!
So my weekend is now over---off to put the little one to bed. She's had a rough weekend with a lot of splats. Trying to climb ALL over the place at 13 months old! Poor thing has bruises..I cried today cause she fell so hard. This parenting thing is rough on your nerves! Now it looks like she is getting a cold--coughing and snotty. Yuck!
Night all, talk to you soon
My little lady, AnnaMae, is all ready for dinner and a dance! This dress form is from Cerri's shop. She has the loveliest items. You must check her out! The silk ribbon is from Pretty Petals. Another lovely shop! Glitter is painted on the dress form to add as jewelry. Feather ribbon and pink pearls complete the look!
LOVE it! This tiny little dress form reminded me of my childhood. My best friend, Dona and I, would 'dress' our Barbies. We spend HOURS doing this. I was lucky enough to have beautiful scraps of velvet, silk, ribbons...My late Grandfather owned and operated a sewing and upholstery business and did only antiques. My Grandmother was the epitome of PINK! VELVET! SILK!
It's nice to go back to my heritage-New York and 'see' my late grandparents work in the prominent homes and museums. It's sad that this is a dying art form.
I promise to upload our Pumpkin Patch pictures soon. D loved it! She picked a pretty one for $4.
Very early on my Birthday morning. Mommy needs more off her juice called Dunkin Donuts coffee! Below is Mommy putting out my decorations and setting my Birthday table.
Check out my Chenille Rabbit. I LOVE it :)
All dressed up...where is my family..they don't tell time very well. I'm off to amuse myself with my balloon.
Lucky asking Mommy to have D quit boinking her with the balloon.
FINALLY! Cake!! Ice Cream!! Whooppppppeee...
After!
The ice cream was my favorite! I passed out from all the sugar after a few hours. Mommy was tired but happy. 
I also finished Squirt's (aka D) birthday banner and crown! I love it. Bright colors and lots of glitter. It matches her lantern I did (see below with pom poms). Okay, my new love is pom poms :)
I have to say that was the toughest thing to capture. The pics are still not showing how beautiful it came out. I'll try again on her birthday. She kept trying to pull them down today!
As you can see I've ALREADY started putting up my Halloween items!
The CUTE crown I made for her out of the same scrapbook paper, pom poms :), and butterfly embellishments, and ribbons to tie around her head. A big D for her name. She is going to look so sweet on her 1st Birthday!
