Sponge Bob "silky" quilt & painting gone wild.







This quilt is for my daughter, who seems to have a Sponge Bob crush going on right now. 

Her only request was to include silky fabric. So the opposite side is done is teal satin ~ (in hopes it appears to be the ocean, that's what I was going for artistically).  I explained that to her but it went in one ear and..... yeah.

 ;)




















The bright colors make me smile.









The silky fabric makes her smile.






Though I have to say, there is something about sewing with satin that makes me want to set my hair on fire.














But it's worth it if I get a smile like this:








It's a silky monster!




















It's been outside, dragged (surely it's not "drug" right?) throughout the house, and in bed again every night---as children do. Doesn't bother me, it will be washed once a week. 
Good 'nuff. 

A little bit-o-germ helps the immune system.  Right? lol









After that project we all needed a release, so we hit the markers, coloring pencils, and paint with a vengeance.

You can download these awesome coloring pages at  Coloring Castle. com .  ( Free)

So cool.

I had to join in when I saw the Calaveras--major awsomeness.

































































 Painting with nature.

After this, it all went downhill fast.
Picture hand prints e v e r y w h e r e.

(LOL)

"It's artistic expression." I told my brain while my heart started to go into palpitations. It's okay it's okay.... It's not permanent paint... (Um...yes it is..oh sh*tballs!)  Count to ten. Ommm.

Deep inhale. Om.


I told you I'd be needing those Oms.




I won't show you a picture because we rent this house. Yeah.











See ya soon ;)

    I used to set up the table for crafts and the kids, always fun to let them create and give mom time to unwind;)
