NY city

We went into Manhatten yesterday and saw this Chinese Dragon at the Museum of Natural History. The drums were so loud, they woke up the baby, but the big kids loved it.

We're off to Florida till Saturday

a walk

Emma went for a walk. After buying some flowers in a vase, she needed a little rest.


Back home, the flowers looked lovely on the table.


Our "Hortensia" can never decide which colour to be, blue or white

Doily

After much thinking about it whether I should get it or not, I finally did today. I love it! I feel like I'm making my own doilies if I go around the paper


I've also finished another dollie with a different hairdo. My DD whom I made this dollie for, and which looks like her, said this new dollie looked like me (I have shorter hair and she has long hair).


Tomorrow is the last day of school and as a thank you I made this Zoë bird for the teacher. I hope she likes it.

I've won

I just had a delightful e-mail from Jennifer, saying that I had won. I'm receiving some wonderful frappo bottles, which look beautiful. Thank you Jennifer.

I made Marylinn for a friend who is expecting a little girl at the end of this month. Of course as usual I worked against a deadline, finished it just as I really had to leave for the shower party, so didn't have time & forgot to take pictures of her. So here is another dolly, which I named Emma

Jousting

Today we went to the Renaissance Fair at Dundee. They had all sorts of things related to knights and dragons. The best part was the Jousting.



I enjoyed the decorations hanging about.


and the Queen's dress was done beautifully

Suits of cards

I was browsing blogs and saw Claudine Hellmuth's entry for Illustration Friday. The first thing I thought of when thinking of was a suit of cards. I'm trying to make more patterns, which can be used as illustrations.
