It’s been a while. I washed the canvas drop cloth that I had made after a paper mâché incident and it shrunk horribly. Because I didn’t worry about grain when sewing it up it shrunk horribly in multiple directions which resulted in a big bubble in the middle that won’t sit flat. This doesn’t bother Tuesday …

Quick painting project
I found this link via Pinterest, and thought it sounded fun. I’ve used watercolor masks, but rubber cement was a quick and easy alternative. When I was up in Alaska I drove Tuesday and I out in the snow one day, and of course got lost. I ended up at a Michael’s though so it …
Photographing kids art
There are lots of great ideas on how to store kids art and how to pick what you are going to keep out of the mass amounts of art they make. I have to admit to hardly keeping any of Tuesday’s art… in it’s original form. It’s not that I don’t want to; most often …
More tips for painting with kids

Autumn layout
I had a little help with this layout. Tuesday made the painting (bigger than this and I trimmed it down). I swore I took pictures of her stamping halved apples and smearing around paint with her fingers but I guess I didn’t. Ah sometimes the days run together, don’t they? 🙂 This turned out pretty …
That last sunny day
I was far too busy the last really nice warm sunny days of fall to blog about them, so I am now. On November 3rd it was sunny and 70 plus out. Yes, November 3rd here in Salem… OREGON, it was 70 plus. It was sunny, and IT WAS NOT RAINING. Crazy really. I have …
Artistic. Each in our own way
Tuesday and I have been being artistic lately. I need to get even more crafty, but that will require a holiday gift list. Right now we are just creating for who ever 🙂 I found some sweet paper at an estate sale last summer so Tuesday is doing some fine artwork: I am completely enamored …
