Sweet Dreams Baby Skoge!

Back in September, some high school friends and I hosted a baby shower for our wonderful friend, Nicole. Here we are...Jen, Ang, Nicole and Beth. We had a Bedtime Story Theme...hence, the pj's!



For food, we opted to keep it simple...we had milk and cookies! YUMMY!






Our table was set as a bed...pillow, quilt, stuffed animal, stories, and all...and of course, those yummy cookies!



Here is Nicole with the baby sweater I made for her.


Here's a closeup of the sweater. It came from a knitpicks kit...have a couple more in the craft room, so you may see some of these later on in other colors.



As soon as I found out Nicole was pregnant, I instantly had to find some cute fabric to make a baby quilt. I really like how it turned out. They are not finding out until the baby comes if they are having a boy or girl, so I had to find something that could work either way. I think it works well, with the green and brown, as it matches their nursery. Also, I love the kitties--since they have two! I can't wait to meet little Skoge!

Lately, I HAVE been creating all sorts of things. I just have not been so good at posting! Obviously since the last time I posted was around Christmas time! Anyway, here are a couple of paintings that I did in the past few months. I finished the above painting this spring. It was based on a photo of poppies that I took on our vacation out to Holden and Canada from the summer of 2007. I'm kind of drawn to painting flowers.

This was originally going to be a painting based off of the Eastern Redbud tree. I fell in love with that sort of tree when we visited Brian down in Iowa for his graduation. It turned out to be a mix between that and cherry blossoms.

This drawing is based on Holden Village.


Here is a yummy dessert I made for the 4th of July this past summer. It was from a Martha Stewart magazine...so so tastey too! All butter and sugar...and a little fruit! Hope everyone had a happy 4th of July!
