warm wishes

a very good friend of the family is moving into her own place for the first time. she is decorating in a spanish mission kind of style. i made her this:






after i finished needle felthing her, i decided she needed more and freehand beaded this swirly design on.
i hope she likes my little creation.

the kiddos are out of school for the summer. i'm very glad to have them home. i'm also very nervous that this is going to be a long, hot one. this will be the summer i lose my sanity, i'm pretty sure. i wonder how many times i'm going to hear "i'm bored" a day. hmmmm, maybe i should count.
