More on the kids painting

Okay, so I decided I would go ahead with the kids painting :) I have all these ideas like I said for other ones and I am so excited for them. It is such a pity that what is in our heads  doesn't always translate onto paper :)

So I have done the hair and a bit of the dress. 

The eye lash and mouth are not touching, it just looks like it :)

It is school holidays, day two and the kids were already banned from the computer yesterday hehehehe good start. Today they are hanging with friends so it is a good day. So all I have to do is have friends over for the next 6 weeks and we will avoid the fighting. Good plan. 

Still exercising and putting myself through pain, but it is worth it since someone said I was skinny!!! Holy cow, I was so excited it was like I had won an award :) fist pumping ensued :) 

Discovered Miss Marple movies on netflix wohooo, so have been watching them while folding and cooking dinners, so cool. I like the real old ones with Joan Hickson :) the real Miss Marple.

So if anyone has any strength that they want to give me for Christmas, I would love that as  a gift, then I can get through the next six weeks :)

So Far

School is back, the house has been cleaned and I am sewing!! I am so glad I have found something that makes me happy  :) Here are a few photos of progress so far

Loving the tree trunk :)

This is gorgeous fabric so I just shadowed the design and it looks fantastic, well I think  it does :)

Love the leaves too...

 

Just watched a Miss Marple movie and of course it was fantastic. I wonder when those movies air whether the sales in villages go up :) It seriously looks idyllic and divine :) it never rains, its never cold, everyone is so very nice, well except for the murderer but you know that he/she will be gone soon so that's ok :) and all the houses are gorgeous and the gardens are in full bloom oh and no one has to work. What a life!! I want one of those too please :). The only reason it would suck is if you were the victim, but hey you got to live in a gorgeous village for a while before someone killed you :).

Back to reality now, which is pretty good for me - sewing and watching a new show for me, Scandal, love it.
