Thank you so much. Last Christmas I made afghans for all 4 nephews plus 4 additional family members. Hope yours turns out great too. I also want to make a blue jean quilt for my grandbaby. It's a wonderful feeling to see the family enjoy their blankets....it's priceless. This year I gave 2 of my nephews photo frames I decorated and a quilt picture of their favorite thing (I guess that's how you would describe it). Wish i would have took a picture. One likes guitar and the other Irish stuff so I quilted a 2 fender guitars on a 8x10 back and the other was 4 four leaf clovers on same size back. Sorry if I ramble too much but I love crafting and sharing with yall.

Thanks fallenweeble! and yes a lot of love goes into my projects. I was rewarded this Christmas cause 2 of my nephews told me how much they love their afghans they got last year along with how much they use them (they are the 2 I did quilted pics for in above post).

Spotted Crow I want that pattern, that would be challenging, but cool. Not the one with the stuffed but the other one. I may have to search google for it.

I'll finish more paintings this year.
Here are a few.

I just finished this one...

Great paintings! Those are scenes around San Diego? They seem familiar, but that might be homesick wishful thinking on my part.

I just finished a couple aprons (one with CHICKEN fabric) and some soaping cloth sets. They are in my etsy shop. I have a friend coming over to model the aprons. My pics are not all that great.

Very nice paintings...after the last few days I wouldn't have minded being on a tropical island.

I bought the chicken quilt patterns at Joann's Fabrics...chickenranchwife, but I haven't seen it the past few times I've been there.

Them are some beautiful paintings seismic! Thanks for sharing them with us. You have a lot of talent.

Spotted Crow,
I don't know if we have a Joann's fabrics here but there is a Handcock Fabric store up in Bismarck. I will have to look there or Hobby Lobby.

Just finished one of my girls christmas presents....HEY better late than never right?

I got some old wooden windows off freecycle and sanded and painted them.........left them kind of rough though........put pics and mats........homemade rustic used look

and here is one of them........I made her 3........she likes the undone non perfect look........I am SO good at that

i really am enjoying seeing everyones projects. i love home made stuff! i think "perfectly imperfect" art/craft is the best!
i feel that inspiration growing - so keep those pics coming!

Thanks guys.
I keep my landscapes generic. Almost everyone says "I think was there!.....where was that?..."

I painted one for my friend from Montana. She SWEARS it is a picture of the rocky mountains from where her house used to be. Too funny.
