Awesome or what?!? I call it Cucumber and Pickles. Ha! Inside joke. Madeleine and I come up with cutesie nick names for Mabel and Henry. One of Henry's nick names is Pickles. While she painted this I exclaimed, "Look at Pickles!" She said, "Yeah, what does that make his mom in this painting? Cucumber?" Yep! Isn't baby Henry adorable? Squee!
So yes, Emerson is not the only one talented at painting in this family. We have encouraged art with all three children since they were tiny. I was always artsy. I am so glad they are also. She does not even have art class this semester. She just paints at home for fun. :) Next year she is taking Advanced Placement Art, just as Emerson did his senior year in high school. This gives her college credit for an art class, like he received also.
Madeleine has several paintings in the 80% done state. Drives me wild! Just as the above painting still needs a background! That's okay. The best part is completed. ;)
Here is another she painted a few months ago. Cool huh?
There are many more! I have permission to share these two. Ha! She doesn't know what it is like to be a proud mama. ;)

Our friend Christina (who does not have a blog) sent me some lovely pink fabrics.
She also included that sweet birdie ribbon. Thank you again Christina! I now need only 35 more pink fabrics for my Epic Pink Charm Quilt!
I STILL do not have my Easter stitch completed. sigh. Well I have NOT been up to no good! ;) I have been sewing a few headbands for Madeleine, making more gifts for friends, planting seeds indoors, clearing out garden beds bit by tiny bit and grooming poodles.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Hello Vickie,
Well, you can be very proud of your artist Madeleine! The poodles are so nicely made and adorable!!! No wonder you changed your icon ... Love the last picture of your poodle, by the way.

You can be so proud - you have some very talented children, Vickie.
These new pink fabrics are fantastic, and you are approaching your goal faster and faster.
The poodle painting is really nice... and that last picture cracked me up! :O)

Lovely art work by your daughter Vickie, the poodle is so neat. My husband grew up with a poodle called Pickles:-)

Your daughter is so talented. Glad I could contribute to your quilt. Oh wow, you get hawks on your fence. Amazing! Have fun with your gardening. I need to clean out the flower beds too. No new flowers this year as we are in a drought.
Wow, talent really runs in the family! The first one I didn't even think it was a painting, looks so real!

That little Henry is SO adorable! I just can't get over that cute, little guy!! :)
