Big Head – in progress
January 24th, 2008

It’s Wednesday again and time for Woogie Wednesday. It’s about 9:45 P.M. now and I’ve been going full force since 4am, but wanted to show a “ww” in progress.

I had several deadlines today and I knew I wouldn’t have time to do a “ww” project so while I worked I had the Woog work on her part of the project. She made several drawings of heads and then started drawing apples (with arms and legs) like crazy. Not sure what they deal was there but she was excited about them so I was too. So, this is the “Big Head” I chose to use and I will add my part tomorrow:

We didn’t get a chance for Woogie Wednesday yesterday, so we worked on our quick project today.

The Woog received some pretty awesome hair accessories for Christmas and we needed to make a special holder for them. Here’s our materials:

And here’s how it turned out:

These are all from Pretty In Paper and I love, love, love them!! Definitely unique!!

It’s Woogie Wednesday again and today we’ve been working on our handmade gifts from the Woog to go with our handmade Christmas.

Earlier this morning we had a “photo shoot” for her Daddy’s gift and for some reason she has started flashing this really sqwinchie smile when I take a picture. This is one I think I’ll do in black and white.

*This isn’t the photo used as the gift though. That’s a surprise.

Then we moved onto gifts for grandparents and such. The Woog loved our magnet project this summer so we are making a magnet set entitled “Smiles of 2007″:

And then I had to figure out what I could make for my cousin’s tween boys. Not an easy task. So I thought up these gross eye ball magnets to make. All boys that age have got to love eye balls!!

She has a few picture frames to decorate and then she should be good to go on all her gifts.

It’s Wednesday again and time for Woogie Wednesday! We did something a bit different this week. While visiting my grandmother and mom today, I took a 4 generations picture. Although she seems so big in so many ways, her little dimpled hands seem so small.

I guess we could tack this on to Woogie Wednesday for the day. We just finished up making some magnets. I’ve never made these before and I know people have been doing them for a while, but man are they easy! Above are the ones I made. Can you tell which catalog they came from??

Here’s what the Woog made.

It’s Wednesday so that means it’s time for Woogie Wednesday and we just can’t seem to get back in the groove. I picked everything out and the Woog was a little (well, a lot) indecisive in what she wanted to make but decided on a giraffe. We did some painting and then the whole project stopped. She got fussy and then hungry and then she needed a bath and before we knew it it was bed time. So, I guess we’ll try and revisit it tomorrow. Here’s what we started with..

…this project never happened :( moving on to next week…

No Woogie Wednesday

Woogie Wednesday will not take place this week due to mommy going to the “popsicle” (hospital) and having her gall bladder removed. She has lots of boo-boos now and I have to be a really good girl. Check back next week when she feels better.

Bertha-Mae

It’s Wednesday so that means it’s time for Woogie Wednesday. I’m doing it a little different this time and it will probably be a 2-parter. I’m doing a separate mailer this month for my junk a doodle style, so I’m enlisting the help of the Woog with this one. At the moment she is asleep by her bedroom door covered completely in her blanket and snoring, but I’m sure when she get’s up she’ll be excited to start digging for junk…or watching Dora.

I pulled an older sketch from my sketchbook to use for my promo. This was actually going to be Illustration Friday’s theme “wired” some time back. I’ve modified it a bit and I’ve got an old 15″ x 21″ yard sale cutting board just calling my name.

Hopefully we’ll have a final piece or at least a work in progress tomorrow to show. For now, here’s the sketch. Oh, and her name is Bertha Mae (of Bertha Mae’s hair barn of course!).

Oh and thanks to Jannie’s post, I’m now addicted to Papermate’s Sharpwriters! I will never sharpen a pencil again :)

Not much time…

It’s Wednesday again and we have very little time today due to VBS and swimming lessons all week. We did manage to do a little something. I’m getting items together for my etsy store and am working on some limited edition prints. She helped me with one of them today. She took my letterpress type collection and spread them out all over the table for me. Then I started shooting and here’s the best one out of the bunch. It will be in my etsy shop soon so check back for the link.
