Ada's Creation

Found in my daughter's sketchbook after watching Spirited Away. On the left is a "Wind Spirit" and on the right is a "Bear".

I love these, had to share.

No Cats Allowed, just sayin'

Seems every time my daughter and I take up some space on the floor, out cat comes and butts in. She lays across the paper we are drawing on, lays across the book we are reading, lays on the game we are playing... So the other day she asked if we could make a "No Cat's Allowed" sign. I made one first so we could practice tracing letters. Then Ada made her own -her way.

So, we'll keep this sign around when the kitty is in the way. It seems to work.

Ada's Creation

Since we are redoing our kitchen right now, we are looking at this pile of rubble marveling at the waste. One thing we are going to keep from our demolition is a work of art my daughter created right on one of the cabinet fronts.

She taped one of her drawings onto one of the cabinets one evening. A few weeks later, she added to it with a brown crayon and made it a permanent part of the kitchen. I just can't get rid of this cabinet front. I am thinking about framing it...

Little Girl's Tree

Made with swirling beaded garland and berries, lots of decorations. Punctured paper, foot prints and silly valentine hearts left over from last year. We did collaborate a little, but she told me what she wanted me to draw -some of the leaves...

Such vision! I love it! LOL.
