Painting take 2

I attended another painting class, this time was family time, no sangria, in the middle of the day, open to 10 and up. My oldest (19) and I went together. The piece was "horse of a different color".
I did go my own way (again) with the colors. I am a bit critical of my background being way to dark for my liking and for the finish.
Original is on left, mine on the right.


Here's a blurry picture of the two of us :)

I did try to follow suit with the big swirl mane but after the first one (upper right) I just couldn't keep going it wasn't my style I have noticed I'm more of the thin swoop rather than the thick curl....

Dec Goal

December!?! Already!?!
Time sure did fly by this year, as I get older I notice the days weeks months go by much quicker.
I didn't set a goal each month and on some that I did I didn't finish. Life!
Well today I am setting a goal for the final Link Up at ALYOF.
With these lovely fabric sets I am going to make a few Kyoko Dresses.

Shopping!

It's been a long while since I stepped into a fabric shop, boy I was surely excited to touch and feel and match pieces up in person.
When we lived here a few years ago I found a great little shop a few towns over into the next county, takes about 30 mins to get there, not bad at all. I was really hoping the shop was still around. It is still there but under new ownership and new name. prices went up as well :/ Before I could get a yard of Micheal Miller for $6.95!!! now its close to the online prices of $9 something.
I am hoping this doesn't mess with my final Dress prices all to much, I'll be doing up some math in the next few days to figure it all out.
With all this shopping...yes the shop with be reactivated and stocked up soon too :)
 Here's a peak

Sandy Quilt




After Sandy hit Quilting Gallery coordinated a block/quilt drive, there were block makers and team leaders (quilt put-together-ers).
I had the pleasure of receiving 40 blocks for around the US, I trimmed them and put together rows that I then quilted as I went (QAYG) and backed it with extra wide fabric.
Here is the collage I sent out to the block makers.
