Another New Obsession

Now this will be a labor of love!!!!  The first photo is of Colton & Weston last year with their Christmas vests.  Well, of course as growing munchkins, they outgrew them..... so I am making them new ones for this Christmas.  And I made Mican one last year and he outgrew his also.... so a new one for Mican and his brother, Rory.  So now this year I am adding in my brother's fabulous girlfriend (who has many grandkids!!)... well one of her daughters, Kimberley,  has 3 boys so they get theirs also...  Colton & Weston  Eileen's grand-munchkins - tooooo cute Wow, that's 7 Christmas vests to make..... I'll post an update when I finish them!!

OK, so I got the photo turned into a comic portrait and I love it!!!  (Go back a couple of posts and you'll find the original). I have tweaked it a bit in Photoshop and am trying out a bunch of different actions.  Here are some of them:   I think they are kinda fun!!!!

Update:  I gave this to Kris for her 5 year old granddaughter Zoe and she says it fit perfectly!!!!  Can't wait to see her in it!! So I have this fabric that I absolutely LOVE and I made one of my Newboy Caps tonight with it..... quilted it and all!!  Tried it on and I think it will fit a five year old..... definately NOT this grey haired old lady!!!!

Shhhhhhh..... don't tell.... but that adorable photo I took of Rich & Eileen - well I sent if off to Fiverr to have it turned into a cartoon portrait!  I am doing this for the one year anniversary present!  I mean my brother has been waiting his whole life for this wonderful woman!!!!!   Takes about 7 days so stay tuned and I'll post it!!!!!

And speaking of Colton and Weston.... they won another contest!!!!  And only because they are the cutest munchkins EVER to roam the earth!!!!

So here is the quilt I am making for Mican's 3rd birthday....  of course, being a munchkin, he is into dinosaurs so what could be better!!?!?!  But then I showed it to my nephews wife and now I get to make two more, one for Colton and one for Weston!!!!!

So the next evening we had dinner at the Owl Grill & Saloon (http://www.owlgrillandsaloon.com).....  and let me tell you, it was wonderful!!!!  One of the best meals I've had in forever!!  Maybe it was the company - my wonderful brother and his awesome girlfriend - or the owner, Steven, who greeted us like we were long lost relatives, or the waitress, Linda, who was wonderful or the atmosphere which I really enjoyed - not stuffy at all - I mean after all, we are in Grass Valley!!  And the food was to die for!!!  If you have a chance to get here you MUST have their Brussel Sprouts appetizer..... OMG!!!! !
