All sorts of art...

A few weeks ago Aunt A asked for drawings from Kiki and Debris for a school project. I wasn't going to share them with the world, because folks can most likely only handle so much of the genius we hand out around here. I mean, I have to stop somewhere with the kid going-on's, don't I? I had a very firm talk with myself. Apparently I promptly ignored it, because here I am, typing it out. The thing is, I literally handed them the supplies, and walked away. So what you see is from their hilarious, mad little minds. I love it.



So, after drawing the pictures, I asked them what they were. Then I wrote down exactly what they said. The titles are as follows.


Here are Kiki's.


"A Cyclops holding an Umbrella"

"A Man Going through a Maze"Here are Debris':

"Airplanes, Helicopters and Rockets that Crash-ted"

"A Man Behind A Fence"

The originals are on the way Auntie A!

Now, while drawing is not my medium, I like to think that everyone has a little artist within. So, here are the projects I've been working on lately....

A 6 month late wedding gift for these guys...

Here are my helpers, who screwed up helped me with the assembly of the squares repeatedly, resulting in approx. 8 hours of seam ripping time combined.

But, all in all, I am pleased with how it turned out. I especially love the owl I did as the "tag". I actually drew it out myself, so I'm really looking forward to putting it in other projects... I definitely saved my drawings!

And, here is the apron I made for Debris for her B-day...

It's made completely from fabric scraps... I have been reusing old jeans for all my apron projects, and I am having SO much fun with it. I've never been happy with the denim from fabric stores, it never feels or looks like I think denim should. So, I'm using old jeans, and working the seams and such into my design.

And, finally, this is the one that I made for Lily of the Valley for a contest I had a few weeks ago... We had a lot of fun putting it together, Kiki helped me with fabric combinations and such...she's getting big enough to have valid opinions on things like this, and I'm having so much fun listening to her, and taking her "advice"! We decided that the only thing better than a ruffle on an apron was a double ruffle, and I'm particularly pleased with how the ties turned out. There's nothing more annoying than not having enough tie, IMHO, so I made sure that wouldn't happen. :-)

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend! We're headed for some COLD COLD COLD weather... YAY!
