Fledglings

Genetics are so fickle.  He was only one fourth bird, who knew their babies would be four full fledglings!

I thought it was time for a new family picture.  I like the idea of my babies as birds and Mr. Vincent and I teaching them to fly.  That is our ultimate goal; to get them to be able to do things for themselves.

Here are a couple of my birds drawing and painting along with me.

Mr. Vincent's reaction to this painting is my favorite, "NO!  Why do I have WINGS!?"

Gold Glitter Swirls

We've painted four rooms so far and the kids bathroom is my favorite.

If you think I've gone a little too crazy with the wall stickers, you have no idea.

Gold glitter swirls are hard to find in bathroom counters these days.  We were lucky enough to get this one for free!

Notice Miss Mermaid Light Plate in the mirror.

Self portrait with my new camera...thank you Mr. Vincent!

Frames

Sisters framed.

I also had these two beautiful prints that I bought from Curious Prints framed.

The Old Woman in the Wood by Arthur Rackham.

This frame goes perfectly!

Insects. I was inspired by my son when picking this print out.  The bambooish frame looks great.
