I’m going to stop joining these once-a-day-for-a-month things! Every time I try crazy things happen. This time Princess (14) fell and twisted her ankle badly at her first basketball game and my sister ended up in the hospital. My dryer went kaput with six loads of laundry waiting and Flower Child has been sick for four weeks.

*sigh*

Yes, I skipped over a few there. What can I say? It’s much easier to remember the date than it is to remember how many posts I’ve made so far this month.

My Sunday project:

Flower Child’s Sunday project:

I took some other pictures but I wasn’t paying attention and that fancy new Mod Podge caused funny reflections. I’ll fix that next time.

My Flower Child (age 10 years 10 months and 29 days) helped me got into the groove today. She is my artist in residence and general all-around creative kid. She loves to create using whatever she can find. She has lots of cool art supplies, but the key word there is ‘whatever she can find’. What can be found is directly related to how deep the clutter is on the floor of her bedroom!

Today, she made several pieces using finger paint, cardstock, tissue paper, acrylic paint, watercolor markers, red plastic wrap, glue, glitter, and our experimental stuff of the day: Mod Podge. Evidently she has no more red acrylic paint (although she could produce neither the empty tube nor any other tube from her own stash), so she was very excited to see my new (cheap) set. Watching her wheels spin when she’s working does wonders for letting go of my inhibitions.

Here’s a picture of her hard at work:
