Frustrated - a month of mornings day 11

I am frustrated today because I worked on a project yesterday and it did not turn out the way I wanted it to so as I eat my breakfast I am un-picking it. I am going to try one more time to get it the way I want it to, hopefully it will work out. I even faded my picture so that you could feel my gloominess.

Inspiration

I have been wanting to make Gwenie a quilt for along time and have had many ideas, but it has never happened. Finally I was inspired by a quilt I found on a quilting blog. I am going to make it for one of Gwenie's Christmas presents, she loves blankets. I called my mom to have her help me think of the best way to go about it, since I do not have a pattern just a picture. I am even going to attempt to "free hand" embroider. I haven't done that since Junior high, which was a long time ago. I am so excited to start and see how it all goes, especially the embroidery part. I am a little scared to draw what I want on the material, hopefully I won't suck. You will have to wait until I am done to see it but, here is just a peek:

fun & not fun.

FUN:
With it being the month of Halloween I decided to do a fun project with Gwenie. We made Happy Halloween cards for the Grandparents and for our friend Mason. Gwenie fingerpainted & put on Halloween stickers.

Then left her mark on them, I am trying to get her to "sign" her letters.



Here is the finished project before we put them in the mail.



NOT FUN:

I don't know what made me think I could handle an outing when I just hurt my wrist. I never should have left the house on Friday when all of my friends were going to the pumpkin patch. It was not fun for me at all. Gwenie really didn't want to be there and I was in pain and really needing to get all packed for our weekend getaway. I went because I really wanted to just have some fun with Gwenie before I left for 3 days without her. I should have stayed home. These pictures look like we had fun, there was moments of it, but not really.





Doesn't she look like she is so full of herself. I love it!



I just love the pumpkin pictures.

art project???

I am trying to practice with Gweniveve doing art projects so that we can make cards for Father's Day and Birthday's. This was our first attempt at it today with finger paints. Gwen LOVED it.

I think we won't use the apron, it looks a little big.






She probably should have been naked, she got it everywhere on her, but atleast the packaging was correct and it all washed off.




Ready to put it on the fridge


I think we need alot more practice before we can give these to people, but atleast we are having fun.
