Hand made toys are the best…here Nadia is working on a pirate and mermaid scene using felt.
Measuring, cutting, sticking…
Painting little peg dolls…
And then playing and seeing her stories take shape…
The dolls are so cute!
The story goes like this…a pirate sailing the high seas, meeting mermaids and finding a chest of treasure…sunsets and adventure 😃
Imagination and creativity come alive.
Have a great week.
Cheers,
Aruna
Making further additions to our Halloween display…inspired by Day of the dead we painted some peg dolls.
We painted a witch next and made a hat and cloak for her with felt.
Nadia made a little red riding hood peg doll…all ready here in her felt hood.
Looking very cool with the day of the dead masks we worked on a different day.
Here’s the final display. My camera battery was charging as we worked so I could not take any pictures while Nadia made these items.
Have a great week.

An empty cereal box turned inside out…cut out a house and color it black
An excellent story telling prop…
It made it to our Halloween 🎃 display table for this year
We had a lovely evening listening to Nadia’s scary tales 😃🎃
Have a great week,
Cheers,

It was too quiet so I walked by to see what Nadia was working on. A painting of Yosemite…
That’s half dome…
Wow…I am quite impressed! And Yosemite falls on the right, El Capitan to the left of the box.
And she drew a road with a car driving by…
Love it!

Nadia has been fascinated by tigers lately…She asked for a tiger face painting for a Halloween party…
Once we were back home, she announced she just had to paint a tiger. So pencil to paper and paints…the tiger jumped right out of her onto the paper she said 😊
Love it!
Have a great week!

Summer solstice 2017…longest day…how did we celebrate?
Dinner in the park, painting and playing…what better way!
Nadia took her painting outside…creating waves here 🙂
Taking a break here while we wait for the paint to dry…
Back again…adding some dark blue waves
Ozzie waits patiently for Nadia to finish…
Adding a little boat now…
Another break…
Adding finishing touches…
Love the finished artwork 🙂
Starry night in the open sea…
Have a great week.
Cheers,
Aruna
Painting some more…blue flower
She smudged a little paint there…she will fix it later!
A pretty sunset to match…
Finishing the edges…
Final touches…
An extra petal to fix the error…
Very happy with the outcome.
Have a great week.

What an amazing day, a huge, worldwide mass demonstration under the banner of women’s rights…what a historic moment. Quoting from Dan Rather’s post on facebook today… In the”Wizard of OZ”, Dorothy famously said to her dog, “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore”.
A perfect painting for today, tribute to the last 8 years under President Barack Obama. A perfect example of a leader, a father, a husband, a decent human being. Thank you for your service.
Have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Aruna
Sunday well spent! Cutting out cardboard, gluing and painting…
Putting together this Knight’s accessories was a ton of fun!
Trying it on for size here…
Let’s get down to painting…
A happy customer…
Almost done…
Adding details to the sword…
Adding the signature of the Wolf Knight…
Here’s everything!
Omg doesn’t she look heroic?
Getting into the mood 🙂 
My life is good 🙂
Cheers,

It’s been a great last 6 weeks…however every evening Nadia has been pointing out “I am not having any fun”….what she means is she’s done very little painting.
So here’s our attempt to spend some time catching up!
I draw, she paints…
Yeah, that’s Wonder Woman aka her mom 🙂
Here’s the final version…
A quick change into her costume and a photo with the same pose for 2016…
We are Wonder Women…
Cheers,
Have a happy new year.
