Bits and Pieces

Some bits and pieces that Kari and I have been working on....

The painting I donated to the 24th auction to benefit park improvements..It earned them $100.00 .  I was worried that no one would bid on it.  I am glad that my Nephew bought it for his house!

 Kari's first quilt...So cute!  Made from bandanas/handkerchiefs..a perfect picnic quilt!

 A wall hanging I made for my friends for a housewarming..It was fun to make!

 Kari's 2nd quilt..for the 24th of July celebration..sold at auction for $200.00!  Also made from handkerchiefs!

An oil painting that I made for my brother in law, Roger.  It is of Allyson's playhouse that he built for her.  We were talking one day and he asked me something about what I would paint for him and I asked him what he would like and this is what he wanted.  I hope it was what he had in mind!

I have just put finishing touches and changes to a few paintings.  I like to post them here, so that I have record of them  One is an oil, the other three are watercolor.    None of them are framed, so you are seeing them in the rough.  I am going to donate either the fish or the ranch setting with the cows (watercolor) for our town auction.  I am not to sure about doing that, what if no one likes it?  I would be totally sad.  I would like it to make some money for the town. I guess my insecurites are peaking out right now!  Anyway, I have fun, and I guess that is what matters! I need to take more time for my painting, I have two started but haven't worked on them for a week or more. It just seems like other things take the time that I have planned for them. I am going to have to schedule in the time so that I can get some more finished.  I am going to be displaying some with my friends at Peach Days in September, so, I need to finish some up!
