Hummingbird.......

Here is a sketch Curly Girl did of a Hummingbird for IMT. She wanted to do it earlier in the week to get it submitted sooner.

I tried to convince her to color it in but she said "that would take away from the detail MOM...." How is THAT for a 10 year old's logic?

If you click on the picture it will enlarge to show more detail.

Birdies in the ferns........

Just LOOK what Curly Girl discovered in our ferns yesterday!
Momma Cheep and Baby Peep looking so sweet and cozy.

Okay...so MAYBE Curly Girl MADE these 2 softies for her IMT post and MAYBE I just set them in the ferns for the picture!

You gotta admit....she did a great job for her 2nd sewing lesson!

Inspire Me Thursday

This week's theme is crayon work and Curly Girl wanted to join in again!
So we pulled out this amazing pup she did when she was 7.
The teacher had them draw one of those squiggly line things and then told them to turn it into something.

I love it!

Inspiration Thursday!

Here is curly girl's art for this week's theme of "medical art" at Inspire Me Thursday.

She had a broken arm as a toddler and a couple years ago broke her jaw in 2 places while riding her scooter. I encouraged her to do something with that but she couldn't....she said it made her jaw hurt again to think about it.

We played with the theme a bit and then I left her to 'create.' I think she was quite imaginative...depicting how band aids and bandages help make things feel better.
I especially like how the gauze is used as a door on the little house.
