Christian went to the museum this weekend with his friends Hunter and Sterling. He thought the museum was awesome and had an absolutely great time. I would really like to see the thing myself now. Hunter’s mother Lisa stopped in for a cup of coffee just long enough for Kelly to get a chance to play with Hunter’s little sister Emma and to show off their new baby brother. Lorena goes pretty nuts around babies. She was raving about the baby for the rest of the weekend. What a great family. In the mean time, I continued to work through the last outstanding items on my list before the big product trial at my job. It is pretty nerve-wracking right now, but we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Kelly has taken to designing here own embroidery patterns. I think she was just getting sick of waiting for us to take her to the craft store. At any rate, they are very cool. Here are her first two. You can hardly tell her birthday is coming up.
Note from Kelly: Thank you cousin Trisha for teaching me how to embroider!!! 🙂
WOW! Did Merle teach Trisha that?
WOW! Did Merle teach Trisha how to do that?
Exactly! I think his specialty is cross-stitch, but he thought she might be better able to just do embroidery. I think they took a few minutes after tea and crumpets every day to work on their embroidery.

This question is from Mom,”Do you guys use a certain art program?”.
Hunter,
Here is a link to the stuff we did when we were on Mark Kistler’s Draw Squad.
Here is a link to some of the portrait stuff.
Here is a link to a bunch of stuff I wrote on the blog about our art.
In addition to drawing, we have done knitting, embroidery, leather-craft, and cartooning. I would be really happy to talk to her about it if she would like! Hey. Thanks again for taking Christian with you. He had a ball.
Trisha
Kelly, Hurrah I am sooo glad you are continuing on with embroidery!!!!
Well although Merle is considered to be talented with a needle and thread by a select few, his art is usually only produced when a target needs sewn up, his tent needs repairing, and in looping a stick through a fishes gull. So I’m thinking I probably learned this elsewhere from a combination of grandma, great aunts, and neighbors.

If Kelly has a washable embroidery pen here are some links of free embroidery patterns she can copy

Also if your parents won’t take you to the Fabric store (meanies!!) you can use coloring pages which you can look for online as well
Have fun!!!!
Cool Trisha! Thanks for the links! 🙂

P.S. You’ll have to come and visit us again, so we’ll have an excuse to go to the craft store!!!
