Goodbye February

Hello March

I Am Jesus’ Little Lamb

Stand up

Each figure is two parts. The head and neck fit into a slot in the back. Then bits of cotton can make them fluffy. 

Bitty Butterflies

More Color

Little Birds

For the Easter Tree

The wings are not glued in the picture, so they can be mailed safely. 

Note the patterned papers coordinate with the bunnies and eggs. Each little boy gets his own collection. 

Bunny Times Four

Egg Baskets

For a Wreath

Color, Color, Color

SomeBunnies Need a Package

Grandchildren and Holidays

I am making flat things, of paper, to get in the mail soon. Spring themes and colors. 

Easter will be a part of this. The idea is to have an Easter tree and wall color.  

Spring Planting

For Summer Garden

We won’t have much, but we can’t have nothing: farmer blood, you know. 

Spring Is Coming

Crocuses

The snowdrops are about done, and the crocuses are in full flower. 

The first little primulas are peeking out. Daffodils won’t be long behind. 

Watercolor 507

Flower

Not a good painting, but I learned a little something from it, and sometimes that is all that matters. It will go on the recycle pile and maybe get used for something some day. 

Challenge

Sister sent out “Draw this Owl” Challenge

My version

Watercolor 508

Elk

It started so....

Then stayed like this awhile, as I contemplated what to do with it.....

Then I added these.

Old Relatives

Husband’s Mother’s Side

Unknown 

Addendum:

Husband’s father’s mother. 

More Old Memories

In Lovely Writing

“ As the roses bloom, 

So blossoms your happiness,

And when you roses see,

Think back oft on me.” (Loose translation) End of school year 1948

From her sister 

“.... go not without God’s Spirit and Word,

Never forth from your house.”

Old Friends, Old Memories

Found

In going through more stuff, I found a folder of family history papers. Among them was this little book of poems from the sisters and friends of my sweet mother-in-law, now n her eighties. The book is over seventy years old. 

Note the gorgeous penmanship. 

“.... have a song on your lips, 

Don’t lose your courage,

Have sunshine in your heart, 

And all will be well.” (Loose translation) 1942

Digital Life Drawing

 Two silly dears who are now as far away as the rest of my family... XD

 

 

(And the time lapse, if it works:)

Happy Valentines Day

Ours was Special 

From my Better Half

Well...., yes..... with these. 

We had a family party, too, after a long-awaited announcement for our daughter 

Her dear brought the cakes.

And all are happy. 

Jack Frost Visited

And left his Paintings

More Snow

And some Sun

Saw this yesterday 

Note sparkly white trees against dark. Very cold now.

More Stenciling

Added these

This time I plan not to cover the bright colors. 

Finish a Start

Was

I found this watercolor wash in a paper pad, so decided to finish it.

Start of Another

More Blue and Stencils

This was from a couple of days ago. Then other things needed attention.

Signs of Spring

Look What is Here

And bravely coming along are Primulas and Daffodils 

My Name Must Be Eeyore

It Starts Raining Every Time I Go Outside

Happy February
