What a great week I had. I got so much accomplished and it felt so good! Here is my Flosstube video recapping last week.
It started with the celebration of Ryan’s 23 birthday on Sunday. It was the first time everyone was together since Christmas. We had a taco and nacho fiesta and topped it off with no-bake cheesecake (Ryan’s favorite).
I love how Ellery says “untle Ryan” when singing happy birthday to him.
Monday I covered a cradled board with watercolor paper and will be painting a girl with flowers on it this coming week. I’m recording myself painting it and will make it into a tutorial when I get a couple painted.
I also painted this quickie as a test. I had the students of CW Live purchase this small watercolor set and I wanted to make sure it would work for the project I had planned. As you can see, the colors worked fine and the tiny brush that came with the set was a bit small and awkward but it worked fine to paint this angel.
Tuesday night’s CW Live class we finished “Save the Bees” acrylic painting. I love how she came out! Look for the original and prints to be sold in my Etsy shop in the coming weeks. You can find my Etsy shop here.
I prepped this canvas on Monday for Whatcha Paintin Wednesday. I’m excited to work on this….it’s hard to hold off until Wednesday though. I used scrapbook paper for the ground and plan to add some more decoupage to this piece as I work on it.
Below is my progress on “This Chick Loves Flowers”. A punchneedle from my Celebrate punchneedle book.
My progress on “Winter Bouquet”. I’ve met the challenge of doing 20-25 stitches a day and it’s a good pace for me.
I finally framed the largest punchneedle I’ve ever created! “This is the Day” is fully finished. I love this frame for it. I used a watercolor board to adhere the punchneedle to but painted it burgundy first.
My happy place 👇🏻
Had the grandkids on Thursday. It was so fun. They are both talking a lot….especially miss sassy pants. She is a hoot as you can see from the videos at the end of my Flosstube video.
I put my scarf on Athena….as you can see….she’s not thrilled 😂
