McKay

This is my latest painting. I THINK it is done. It is supposed to be my grandson, McKay. It is watercolor. I am trying to learn how to do people, which is scary for me. I know that you really can't tell it's him, but at least you can tell it's a boy! That is a start. I kind of like how it is turning out.

Giving Thanks

I guess it is that time of year when we really start thinking about what we are thankful for. I have been reading a book called "The Book of Lost Things". It is a slightly dark and somewhat weird book. But, it does have values in it and it makes you think how lucky you are to have the family and friends that you have. ( Not that I don't think I'm lucky... I KNOW I am). It just reminded me to be thankful for who I am and where I am and for the family that means so much to me. I want them to know how much I appreciate all they do and how much I love them all. I know this is short and no pictures.. very un-like me. I just feel the need to express my love to all of the family and all my friends... old, new, young, old and in between. Thanks for being you and being in my life. I appreciate it!

I finished!

I finished two new quilt tops, they are from some that I started in Quilt Guild. The flower blocks were done by my guild,(the circle shapes) we all did 20 blocks, exchanged them, cut them in fourths, sewed them back together with different colors and then decided how to put them together to make a quilt. I have had mine stored for a few years, not knowing what to do with them. This is what I came up with. The blue and black one is one we did last year as a block of the month. We chose our own colors on this one.I think they turned out pretty good. Now on to the next one!!!
