Yosemite 2011

My son and grandson went with me to Sequoia and Yosemite.  Yosemite had an abundance of water which brought on lots and lots of tourists.  We kept our stay short and decided to come back later in the year when it isn't so crowded.  Here are a few of the pics I took.

Nora Claire

Just finished this acyclic paintin of my nephew's little girl, Nora Claire.  Of course, I think it looks better in person, but, I might not be finished with it when I take a look at it in the day light.  It's hard to tell where it needs a little tweaking in low light, so I'll wait until morning before I make a decision.  I have to thank my teacher, Judy for all the help she gave me with the face.  By now I think she has had about 6 or 7 nose jobs.

Uta's Flowers

Spring Flowers

Over last weekend I was at my nieces home in San Clemente CA.  She had the most unusual Iris I've ever seen.  It was orange.."who knew."

Tatum's New Hat

Here is Tatum wearing her new hat.  Doesn't she look adorable!

Sun Hat

Just finished my little sun hat for a little girl.  I only started this hat about 4 times and 4 different patterns.  I just couldn't get it right.  This one says it's for a 1 to 2 year old.  But I still had to modify it to make it smaller.  I guess I crochet way too loose.  Its made out of cotton yarn.  Hopefully cool for summer.

The Good Ole Days

I came across this picture on line today, and boy did it bring back memories.  My Mom took me to have a perm when I was about 4 or 5 years.  I cried during almost the whole process.  I can remember them bribing me with an ice cream cone just to shut me up.  And, the smell was horrific!
