Watercolor Portrait of a Girl

I used to babysit this little girl. When I saw this photo on her mom's blog, I thought it was a perfect picture for a watercolor portrait, so I gave it a try.

Where the Pom Pom Goes..

How To Make a Pom Pom

Edna Necklace

Just a Flower

Anna Hat and Scarf

Pink and Brown

Still Halloween...

I made some scarfs, these are my favorite projects, because I can finish them before I start something else. I tend to start something, then start something else, and start another project...without finishing anything. Hm. Scarfs are fast projects, perfect for me.

Baby Halloween

I have been featured

Thanks for Tess who has a very nice blog. It's all about recycling, vintage and handmade goodies. She used one of my pictures from my Etsy store for her "back to school in ECO style collection" http://www.artsyrubbish.com/2009/08/back-to-school-in-eco-style.html

Please check out her Etsy Store: yellowdogvintage

Baby Sandals

I found this picture online with a pattern, which I still have to figure out...I have been thinking and trying for three days now....I just HAVE TO make a pair...

Baby Shower

I went to a baby shower this weekend, and I made this fruit basket for the guests.

Birthdays

I turned 30 recently ... My sister sent me a beautiful handmade necklace (first I thought it was a headband and later she told me it was a necklace) and a matching bracelet. A guy made it especially for me....
Her birthday is coming up too, so I made a bracelet for her, it's already on the way to Europe in a little red envelope :-)

At the local park

We went to the park this weekend, and we took pictures of my new creations. And of my fishing husband :-)

Personalized Watercolor Pictures of Your Family

The pictures are 6"1/4 x 6"1/4 squares, 1/2 inch deep. If you have a bigger family, the picture has to be bigger too :-) Each piece is hand painted. I can even include pets (cat or dog)on the picture. You don't need to frame it, it's all set to hang. I'll need the following information: the kids' age, sex, hair color, skin color, shirt color, the parents' hair color, skin color, shirt color, background color, family name as you would like it to appear on the painting.

For Sarah

Triangle Pendant

Personalized Watercolor Pictures

Personalized pictures of your kids! The pictures are 6"1/4 x 6"1/4 squares, 1/2 inch deep. Each piece is hand painted. I can include even pets on the picture. I need to know the kids' age, sex, hair color, skin color, shirt color, background color.

Cozy For Chilly Spring

You can see it on the picture, it is cozy. But you can't see how soft it is... I think this sweater is perfect for chilly spring mornings, when you can't decide coat or not coat?

I used a size 5T pattern for it, but it looks bigger, than size five.

Length: 21"
Sleeve (from neck): 21"
Bust: 36"

Watercolor Portraits

I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to take painting lessons from a local artist. I have always liked to draw, I wanted to go to an art school, when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to be as a "grown up". Now 15 years later I can give it a try.

Brown-Olive Ring

I used tiny brown and olive green beads to make this ring, using peyote stitch. This ring is size 7.

Black And Silver Trangle Necklace

Another triangle...The necklace is 17" long, which is beaded on a stretch cord, the triangle is 2" on the side. I made a matching ring also, which is size 6.
