Princess Bubbles Creates

LeeAnna  has asked What was it like being the oldest/youngest/middle/only child of the family? Families are complicated.  Being the youngest by a wide margin had its good and bad aspects.  My family taught me to be independent, not always a good thing but I do feel like a capable human being and that is something.  I like to spend time with my siblings.  We are rather spread out so that doesn't happen very often.   I organize a family gathering every Labour Day.  Everyone is welcome but is usually just the Ontario family attends.  Maybe someday the ones in Alberta will be able to join us.  Everyone is welcome and I like seeing all that can come.  I am grateful that so many make the effort and do the long drives. I like that my granddaughter has started taking dance classes!  Look how cute she looks in her tutu! I like being the grandmother to girls after raising three sons!  So fun! I like that our renovation has made subs...

 Progress is progress even if it is small.  I have added some large crystal beads to this piece.  That was the right next step.  What comes next?  I am thinking about some lovely white sparkly thread that I have.  I think it would look good on this.  Sparkles always look good to me!

  I am having so much fun with these stitched mandalas.  The watercolour base works perfectly.  It is strong enough and doesn't buckle.  I find the hole-pricking patterns on Pinterest.  It is fun to come up with my own stitching patterns to use the holes.  The outer ring was the pattern suggested.  I added the inner shape to make it more interesting.  

My niece sent me this video clip.  That penguin is so proud and excited about the art it made.  We all need to celebrate our creations like that!  I plan to from now on!

LeeAnna  has asked in honor of St Patrick's day, what is your favorite shade of green? do you have any clothes in that color? accents for the home like pillows, duvets, etc? I do like green.  I like most shades of green but tend more towards the bright.  I used a few different greens on this funky chair.  There is also a lot of glitter paint on it and my granddaughters love that.  All of my dining room chairs are painted uniquely.  Well, there are a couple that still need to be painted.   I like that spring is almost here.  The temperatures are rising and the snow is melting.  Yay!  I am always happy to see winter gone! I like hosting art play days.  It is spring break here and two of my nieces are teachers so they were available for an art day.  I also invited my DIL and two granddaughters.  One of my nieces brought her daughter as well so it was a multigenerational event.  I suggested a potluck so we had a feas...

  February slipped away quickly and I didn't finish my tree-a-month project.  So here it is now.  The tree was created with some fabric I painted.  I also applied transfer foil and paper napkin to that fabric.  I like the tree.  However, this project was meant to be more textural.  I will leave this tree as is for now.  Hopefully, I can get more textural for the month of March.
