work in progress....waverly had a friend visit on tuesday and after getting a look at this doll she said your mom must have been having a bad day when she made that...hmmmm...i thought she looked pretty serene myself.

In all the mess of moving everything we own, so that the new carpet could be layed, i did manage to make some new teeny tiny faces. i think these are the smallest faces i've ever made and are hard to keep a hold of when painting! but they'll be perfect for making those teeny tiny art dolls. i'm sooooo happy!

we're finallygetting some rain today...i know rain isn't all that exciting to most people but when you live in the southwest, and wildfire season is in full swing, every little drop counts!

well i doubt very seriously anyone wants to see photos of my new carpet...that would just be boring. but you might want to see what's under the new carpet. kids love to do things that they think they aren't supposed to do...like paint the living room floor. this kept them (and me) busy for hours! unfortunatley you can no longer see what we painted now but we know it's there and maybe in another 20 years whoever owns this house will get a big surprise if they decide to put in new carpet.

waverly painting...she actually started with sidewalk chalk then decided to paint on top of that.

courtney painted this one....copied from a cover of an old book of poetry she has in her collection.

and my painting...i got a bit carried away with the magenta! yes those are my toes....they often make appearances in my photos ;-)

The beaded doll in front may never get done since i'm nearly out of beads and can't seem to find more to match....lesson learned, always buy more than enough of each color when buying beads! The largest doll in the center is the one i started working on a couple of nights ago. i think she needs a little color and a few accessories...
