Legos & Stars

We've been painting again...

Our nephew (who is starting 1st grade) moved into a new room to make room for his baby sister who will be joining us soon. I had painted a mural in his brother's room a few years ago, and I would be painting in the new nursery as well, so it was his turn for some artwork on the wall!

He chose LEGO people! LEGO video games, to be exact...

(btw, aren't those the cutest BabyLegs?! I love 'em... K's been wearing BL since she was an infant. Great way to keep little legs warm on your nekkid EC baby... and they grow with ya too!)

Anyway, this guy is from LEGO batman... two-face, maybe?

And, LEGO StarWars of course... complete with glow-in-the-dark paint on the Lightsabers!
And for his ARMY dad...

And here is the girly room... for the new niece who should arrive soon!

"Twinkle twinkle little star..."

I even added some real "twinkle" - gemstones and glitter paint!

Fun stuff!

Back to the Beginning

While in FL, we made a stop by a place that has been a second home for the past couple of years - the birthing home where we spent a lot of time while pregnant (and many hours in labor, as well as mommy/baby groups..)

I also did my first post-baby mural here, in the stairwell. My baby was just a few months old at that time, but it is amazing how much she now resembles the silhouette on the wall! I wish I could have gotten a photo of her standing next to the figure, but any time she stood, she was straight up the stairs faster than I could click!!

Our midwife also had a baby who we hadn't had the pleasure of meeting yet, so we were sure to stop by while the little man was there - and he is ADORABLE!!

I crocheted up a little gift for him as well...

some vibrant wool & a hook

woven together

and felted

makes for fabulous clutching :)

Painting the Town

One room at a time...

Here's a mural I finished in a bedroom of a cpl of Kalina's little friends:

And my assistant... sleeping on the job!
