Judah....the young artist!

So I know I often have pictures of Isabelle on here drawing or painting away. However, today I looked over at sweet Judah and there he was sitting and drawing. Such a doll. He kept bending over really really close to the paper to color-such a little artist:) Enjoy the few pictures I tried to snap of him before he was aware of me.

And yes, he is coloring on my HYACKS phone book:)
Have a beautiful weekend!

Handmade Home Recap

So my sister and I again had a Handmade Open House....the last one was in November so this one was lots of fun!! A lady did a beautiful write up on it in her blog which I will link below

Here are a few pictures I took from the night:)

 my sweet sister and me

 the little ones i drew and water colored  and then a few handmade cards

 this beautiful jewelry with art, letters, poetry (you name it) on it

my favorite display.....beautiful handmade knits (I bought the orange bag with the bird...how could I resist?? and a little something for one of my dear friend's baby)

strikingly beautiful jewelry...all priced so so well that it would make your head spin!!

 some headbands and little girl clips for hair that I also made

 my sisters display (part of it at least) with skirts, vests, blankets and banners...she rocks!



Cheers to creating!!!Hope you can join us next time:)

Painting is in the air

I bought Isabelle her own watercolor set....and let me just say that the new kid's sets are amazing!! Skip the brush they include and get your kiddo (or yourself) a nice one and let them go to town. Here is my little artist at work.....

I tested out the paints myself-creating a little birthday present for my niece....and let me just say they are really nice to work with. No joke!

(sidenote: look at the beautiful tree blooming in our front yard right now!!)
