Katrinka’s Birthday Paint Party
We had a fabulous time yesterday at Katrinka’s Birthday Paint Party. You all did a great job on your paintings. I love it when the attendees come in and haven’t painted before and are a little nervous about what they are going to do but then they leave with a terrific painting.
You can learn more about upcoming Paint Parties open to everyone here. Or book a private party for you and your friends.

Baby Blankets
I have been working on new baby items for Delilah’s Art and Gifts. If you need an unusual, handmade baby gift keep this in mind. There are several fun as well as traditional items to choose from – baby cocoons perfect for those first fun photos and lovely blankets that will become that handmade piece to be passed down to the next generation. Be sure to go by Delilah’s to see them all.

Ethan and Madeline’s Daffodils
We had a successful day at our kid’s and adult art classes yesterday. Ethan and Madeline (a brand-new student) painted these fabulous spring daffodils. I love the blue background and bright yellow impressionistic flowers. Great work!
Logan’s Owl
And in the adult class, Logan finished this adorable owl. Logan started in my kids class several years ago and then moved up to the adult group this past year. She’s a natural! She has picked up every tip I have thrown out and applied it to her work. I am so proud of you Logan. SUPER!
Nick’s Peonies
And the peony painting is by Nicholas another adult student who began painting with me last fall. He didn’t want his photo taken but I had to share the beautiful painting he just completed. Nick paints meticulously and it shows in his beautiful work.
Great job everyone!

Pat with Daisy Painting
Last night Pat completed her daisy painting that we saw her working on last week. (Check that out here.) It looks terrific! Great job Pat.
Rebecca with Pet Portrait
And Rebecca, who started her painting at the “Paint Your Pet Portrait” Party a few weeks ago, came in and finished her painting of her wonderful pups. Super! So glad you painted these sweeties.
Remember, you can learn to paint too or improve you current skills by joining us for painting class or a paint party. Check out more information at the Art Class or Paint Party tabs above.

I had fun working on this crochet kitty cat. And it turned out really cute. I found this pattern on Ravelry.com – a terrific website for anyone who likes to knit or crochet. There are loads of patterns and ideas there shared by thousands of crocheters and knitters.
The cat comes from a website that has loads of great stuff. Check her out here.
