C's Silhouette Snowman
The girls have been through two rounds of swimming lessons this summer. C is taking a writing course and learning to sew. They are also taking horse-back riding lessons.

A couple of weekends ago, my parents visited so I had to rush and paint C's room since all her stuff was out in the basement where the hide-a-bed lives.

Things are relatively quiet now except for my mad scramble to see how many snowmen I can finish before my MIL's birthday.

I will be sharing:

  1. These snowmen are gorgeous! I am always amazed at how crafty you are Melissa. Your painting is excellent too. I would never be able to hold my hand steady enough to do that kind of intricate work.

    I'm so happy to hear that you have all been enjoying the summer. We have had a lovely cold winter here (nowhere near as cold as your winters though) but it is looking like Spring is just around the corner here!

    Well, I hope you stay busy and have fun. take care.

    Best wishes,
    Natasha.

    Happy Wednesday! ☺

  6. You are doing fantastic! I love them all, especially the Tea Pot one which reminded me of a Beauty & The Beast character and the moss one which I think is so unique! Great work!
