We drew them together

Each "tile" is a 9x12 sheet of newsprint with crayon applied by Maya and yours truly, early this morning. Maya is learning her letters and numbers -- as she colors them she tells me which ones they are. I notice, too, she's interested in coloring in faces but not often much else, which reminds me of me much younger.

A whole lot of stuffin' goin' on

Some old ones, some new ones.
I've really been learning a lot. There's sewing, and then there's sewing from your own pattern on the fly, and trying out the seemingly millions of applique techniques available. I feel like I get better with each one. It's great!
Ali -- the lambie on the left, that's your girl's :) She's waiting for me to stick a little pink flower on her ear.
Little Red Riding Hood (front and center) and the babooshka (to the left of the wizard) are coming to a shop near you this spring. (I'll blog about it when it's ready!) The monster, based on my "Nervous" illustration, was going to head to the shop too, except my daughter loves it way too much! I don't have the heart to take it away.
