On this Mother's Day we decided to spend time doing what it is that we LOVE to do. Something other than eating and spending money! My aunt Cindy and cuzzin' Monica joined in the fun. Jess finished her painting that she gave me for mother's day, Alexis painted on her shoes, Monica painted in her journal and Cindy did some sewing and made some cute little paper flowers.
My very talented mom made this darling doll! I forgot to take a picture of the finished piece but she should have it posted on her blog within a few days.
I'm so thankful to have a mom that has constantly encouraged me to draw, be creative, never give up, work hard and have the mindset that NOTHING is impossible. I love you momma!
After seeing my mom's stuffy, I just had to do one. Here is the beginnings. I can't show you the finished piece cause it's a gift and I don't want to spoil it before it arrives to the lucky recipient! It turned out so cute, I'm dying to show you!!!
Sounds like a wonderful time!

Is Jess´ picture a self-portrait? It has some great details, I bet she´s inherited some good genes from you :-) You all look like you had a great day, being together and creating: the two best things in the world :-) Can´t wait to see the finished doll. I hope you took pictures during the process, and will share them on your blog. And I most certainly hope that you are satisfied with your new sowing-machine!!
