Works in Progress

I've been planning on painting some canvases for Natalie's room for a while now. It took me a little while to decide what I wanted to do. She loves animals, so I decided on some jungle animals. I figured I could girly them up some. So after browsing the internet I got some ideas. I started 2 of them today. I don't have any gray paint, so I couldn't completely finish the zebra one, and then I had just enough time to start the monkey one. I can't take credit for the images, they are a combination/adaptation of several pictures I found surfing the net.

I'm pleased with them though because I had no idea I could even draw in a half way decent fashion. I've got to get a few other color paints so I can finish these and then I also plan to do an elephant and a giraffe. I hope to get them done this week.



I also have this fabric cut and ready to go for a diaper bag I'm planning to sew for Abigail. My lighting was bad, but the fabric is pink and brown.
While I was taking pics of the canvases, ms. Natalie had to be in on the action. This first pic of her was taken through the rails on one of my chairs. I sure wish the rails weren't in the way because she has the best expression on her face. Oh well it's still a cute picture!
