Above is a "Family Load" portrait I am working on for a dear Lady in the States...she had actually commissioned me one of just her with her children before Christmas and now has decided that her husband should be a part of the picture :-)
I will show you the finished picture when she has seen it.
It's a lot of fun working on these portraits...it really reminds me of how a family is a unit of ONE and need to stick together through thick and thin.
Today we were walking up to school in 1/2 ft of snow slush...we received SO much snow last night...then people didn't shovel...and now this morning we're getting heavy rain.
I guess we are in OUR Canadian Spring right now...but I'm still excited about the flowers popping up!
Have you made anything for the "Family" recently?
I hope you have a great Thursday...and thank you for your sweet comments on the Alice set design....that's the only backdrop I am working on, as the school really doesn't have an elaborate stage.
Until tomorrow...

What a lovely drawing . . . can't wait to see the finished work!
There will NEVER be anything quite as special as the first handmade item you give to someone who cherishes it. It will be even more precious as time goes by.
Hope you feel better soon.
I wish I had a bit more time to sit and make for my loved ones. I think your blanket is wonderful! So special. I always think it is the imperfections that make something perfect! x
I have to say that your first blanket turned out much better than my very first one did. I'm currently making one for myself and one for my daughter. I switch off in between every now and then. I'll have to post some pics soon.
Woo woo woo. :-( I hope you feel better. Don't over-do it. Mamas need to take care of themselves too!...Love the portrait...and love the blanket! Is it a round blanket?! YOU GO GIRL! :-)
how sweet and thoughtful, they will cherish.
take good care of yourself and get well soon
Beautiful blanket Char, so impressive for your first one, I bet she loved it. Perfect colours for her too! Hope you are feeling a bit more like yourself and next week you will be 'on it' with more renewed vigour! Tam xxxxxx
