Miny Minnie Mouse

 

I don’t think I’m bias when I say she’s the cutest Minnie Mouse I’ve ever seen.

Pattern is self drafted. Materials: cotton print, 2″ lace, muslin lining, netting for petticoat. All seams professionally finished and it is 100% washable.

Ceili Sketch

Ceili sits with her feet crossed. I was doodling and happened to sketch a decent outline of the cat so I sketched it again in my sketchbook.

Prince Charming

This time, I’m not talking about my husband, but about a costume I’m making. Here are some costume sketches. The actual costume won’t look exactly like either of these due to copyright laws. I’m making the costume for a pint sized tot to wear to Disneyland. His sister will be Cinderella.

I received my Cotton Costumes, Ltd. labels. I ordered them from Worldwide Label on Etsy.

If there is a box or bag to crawl into, she will do it.  This is a box lid and PC generously added the towel for her comfort.

Genie Drawing

I copied a certain popular genie picture for a friend who wanted to use it for her daughter’s birthday party. I do not want to get sued for copyright infringement, I didn’t profit any by doing this, just made a four-year-old happy. (Maybe, I haven’t had a report from the party since I wasn’t there.) He’s about three feet tall and maybe two feet wide. My subject was on the cracked screen of my iPhone. Can you tell I’m quite proud of him?

Hoover Dam Bypass

From memory and a picture I snapped of it as we drove by.

Shoe

 Still life.

View from St. Mary's Lodge

From life and a picture I snapped since we left before I could finish.

Teton Pass

From memory since I didn’t think fast enough to take a picture. The views from the pass looking back toward Jackson Hole were spectacular.

Young Lavender Farms

Also from memory as I didn’t think to snap a picture. I wanted to capture the brilliant purple lavender and the light turquoise lake behind it. I’m very happy with the mountains in the background and the clouds.

Cup

Still life.  Good times with friends after church. We’re usually the last customers for the night. I always take a tea to go. My reasoning is they’re just going to throw it out anyway.

Hot Summer Night

From life.  Sitting at the park during a barbeque and observing the people. There were four more tables, but I ran out of time.

Cross

While we waited for church to start, the slide on the screen showed a cross. I loved the perspective.
