back on the ball

A friend was kind enough to teach me how to do a sock from the toe up. I think I prefer this method better then starting from the leg. To be continued....

happy mother's day

"From seeds you watered us

As we sprouted you helped us grow

with the warmth of your radiant love

Along the way you trimmed us

to keep us safe from harm

When we grew out of our little pods

you replanted us

where you gave us hope and

showed us faith that we

may be able to do for others

as you did for us"

-Poem by T. Little

I received a few more Mothers day cards that are so beautiful and thoughtful, I wish that I could share them all with you. This one is from my sweet Cousin Jean, along with the poem.

Happiest Mother's Day to all of you Mamas!

Hedgie Mama

Hedge mom and children 8x11 on plywood, paper and pen. Happy Friday!

vogue mama

In high school I used to aspire to be a fashion designer and did a lot of fashion sketches. This one is inspired from those days way back then. I did this one this morning before getting Mr D. off to school. It's a 8x11 done in pen and watercolor on paper.

permanent mom

Owl mom and child, a quick doodle with permanent markers while helping Mr D. with his homework last night.

ode to mom

Thought I'd honor mother's day by doing a mothers theme this week. this one is a quick sketch, pastel 8x6.

issues

Why yes, yes, I am insane, thank you for asking. You probably know by now from my past post in Pinkmoon art that I sorta have a problem with lamps.
I did tell myself before I found this one that I would not buy any more lamps. Then I realized that I really didn't promise not to, I just made more of a suggestion. This one actually looks good in Mr. D's room. In defense I should mention that I passed up 2 other beautiful lamps before seeing this one.

I guess if I'm fessing up to the lamp above that I should fess up to this one as well. I kinda did post about this one, really. Hmmm, and then there's this pendant one, I'll tell you about that later.

influence

I talked about finding this book at a book sale at my Pinkmoon art blog. It's a pretty cool crafts book. I should show you more pictures from it. Anyways, it influenced me to do this....

...birds on top of each other. It's a pastel drawing measuring about 6x8. Happy Friday!

Hello Again

Hello again. Yes, I've moved. Some of you might know me as Pinkmoon art. My main purpose when I started blogging in the beginning of this year, was to open another creative avenue where I could share, meet and learn from all of you talented blogger out there. But somehow I found myself doing less arts and crafts and more family sharing. So, I thought that I'd clean up a bit, making a place for creativity and a place for family. Which is why I'm here. If you would like to know how our family is doing, you may find us at Mudder Houz. Thanks for visiting.
