Halloween pic 2017

Karlee age 10 drawings

I loaned our grand daughter a "how to draw" book.  She finished it in a couple of sittings.  Today she shared her favorites with me.  Now she wants to borrow more books!!
Ten years old and she draws better then I can.

Oh the fun I am going to have over the years collaborating with her on projects.

These are drawn on tracing paper but were not traced. The Sand beast is my favorite!

First broken arm --

Karlee first broken arm.  This is the temp cast from the emergency room.

Waiting to 'see' the specialist

Looks like this arm needs a Pink cast!

Mike called me Tuesday night to see if I want to go the the emergency room to check out Karlee's arm.  As a grandma I can't stand to see any of my little ones hurt.

Karlee (age 4 1/2) tripped over her brother while playing outside before bedtime.  She dislocated her elbow and has a hairline crack in the upper arm bone.  We were at the hospital till 2:30am.  Karlee didn't cry once.
When asked it it hurt, she would nod and say "A little".  What a tough kid!  (Grandma about passed out after just looking at the swelling- lol)
Today was the visit with the specialist to see if it needed pinned.  He thinks because of swelling to do the cast and re- x-ray in a week.  Prayers are that the growth plate is not damaged.

Karlee said that her arm feels a lot better now that it is 'bent' and in the cast, she likes her sling.  I can see grandma making a few more in novelty prints (a Christmas one or two too?)  I also want to make her a cloak, there is no way she can get her arm in a coat.

Now I know what to get her for Christmas- a pack of perm.markers- lol

Yardsale find, Lone Star needs background

I decided to go with a flat black for the corners and sides. The print went on the back and will brought to the front for binding.- cw

I Picked up this 'star' at a yard sale for $5.

It lays out flatter than this picture suggests.

I had no idea as to what background to try use. My creams look to close to the lights and I really didn't want to go white.

I considered black.

Mary made the suggestion that I look for a print to busy it up a bit.

Lane and Karlee went with me to the big box store and helped pick out the fabric. It has all the colors of the star and a bit of green too.

The kids were rather pleased with their selection. I was too. Enough so that I purchased enough to do the back too.
