Abbey’s Sketches

By Lorraine

Someone commented about a drawing of Mr. Darcy as part of Abbey’s Art exhibit last week, so I thought I would post a couple of pieces for Sepia Scenes.
(Since I took photos instead of scanning, the clarity isn’t great)

Mr. Darcy

This assignment was to draw something that showed refraction of light through water.
Not exactly sepia

I added the sepia tone to this drawing and the last one.
She did these a couple of years ago.

Making a Fort

By Lorraine

I like to believe Abbey was mainly doing this for Ella’s enjoyment…
but I’m not sure who had more fun.

sometimes ya just gotta alter your idea of making memories

Also spent a little time looking at the tiny baby girl ensemble that awaits a new arrival due in just a couple of weeks.Continue Reading

More Fun than Scary Vintage Halloween Costumes

By Lorraine

It was such fun preparing this post and seeing again the pictures of the kids growing up.
The expressions on their little faces
made me laugh at times gone by. I guess my mom bought this pattern for someone else because the 1953 date is before I was born. Though I don’t have a picture, I wore the pink bunny costume she made from this pattern when I was a baby.
