So many friends, so much good work.
Sometime I sit in awe of the amazing friends I’ve collected over the years. This is Brenda not only has she brought two of my favorite people into this world, she also happens to be a talented muralist.

This was such a fun project! We actually did this last year, but I am posting it now.
My daughter drew a picture for us to turn into a little felt doll for her cousin.
I cut it out and she did most of the sewing. I’m so in love with the way it turned out.
The idea of the tree change dolls my sister-in-law showed me was too irresistible.
I really had to try it. This was very therapeutic, I highly recommend trying it yourself.
This one looks creepy, but it is the blank faces after I cleaned to paint off with Acetone.
We called this painting with crystals, because that is what it looks like! We stirred Epsom salts to a little warm water until dissolved and then mixed in water color paints.
We painted as we normally do. When the paintings were dry, little crystals were sparkling up at us. The crystals were bigger on the places the paint on thickest.
