A few projects I finished

Hey everyone. It is a wonderful Tuesday... okay a tiring Tuesday. I am really worn out and had a busy weekend. I started having contractions way too early as I still have 16 weeks left to go. I tried my best to lay down and relax but goodness was that such a waste of time. the next best thing was coloring alone with my music while my daughter bugged her grandma lol. 

I got quite a bit done in trying to relax... then the frustration got to me when it came time to edit everything. There are a good 10 homes being built on my moms block. She lives of course in a brand new development that is still devloping. So all this commotion is messing with her wifi because she does not have a hardwire internet service :(.

So with all the bits and pieces of a fun but not so fun weekend i was able to get ahead on some design team things and make a few extras to play challenges on the side!

I had colored her a while back playing around with coloring folds and pleats. 





I love seeing the Kimmie girls do paper piecing all the time so I gave it a try.




I am not going to lie. I use to be really good at coloring black and white or sepia. The color pop was a challenge and I think I ruined the image a bunch. I must say this is not my favorite work I have done. I picture her a brunette and I messed up the kite so then I had to improvise and cut it out. For not going how I wanted it to go it turned out okay though.



For a last project I made a mini mini album. Not a lot of pages but good for a little gift and something small for a keepsake. I used the Simple Stories paper line.... I love their paper because you can cut it up into little things! So much fun to make this little album!
