Tiger Painting

I did this tiger painting for girls camp...Shelley volunteered me...how sweet!

Bows for Mariah

Here are a few bows I made for Mariah! On the blue one, I used Shelley's pattern! It's fun to get Mariah all dolled up every day!--way more fun than getting me dolled up!

Thisi s the playroom we painted and put together for Mariah's Birthday present. She doesn't quite like to play in there alone, but I think someday, she will like it!

Mariah's Birthday Gifts

Mariah's birthday is coming up! I have been hard at work for several months making her gifts. Here is two of them!


Hazel Ross is my neighbor, and she walked me through making this quilt for Mariah. It is called a "running fence" pattern. These are the colors I am doing in Mariah's room. I loved learning how to do the ruffle on this quilt. It isn't done by the traditional thread that you pull and it frequently breaks method! I'll show you how to do it sometime if you come visit!

This is a pillow I threw together with the extra material! Don't look too closely. Hazel wasn't looking over my shoulder on this one!

This is a drawing I did of Mariah. I loved the picture we have of her like this and thought it would look good in black and white contrasts! It wasn't exactly like I imagined, but they never are really!

I also put together a playroom for Mariah. I will post pictures soon!
