Christmas spirit.

Christmas is now upon us and everyone is busy with last minute preparations. Since Phoebe is a ‘poor starving artist’ she is doing many drawings to present to those she loves. We happily accept these gifts of her creativity. Juniper of course is also very busy doing fine pieces of artwork of her own. I’m looking forward to unwrapping the presents tomorrow!

Merry Christmas to all!

Little helper

As the holidays quickly approach I am busy doing the last of large series of drawings for a project. Juniper decided it would definitely speed things up i she helped me. She has a lot of experience with crayons and brushes but this was her first time using the digital tools. I knew well (from previous experience with other kids) to first save my work and then put a new transparent layer over my original before letting Juniper work her magic. It didn’t take long to transform the picture into a looser more colourful version and Juniper declared it perfect. Grampa had to agree.

Christmas traditions

Traditionally our Christmas tree does not get put up until after the last birthday is done. That would be Phoebe’s birthday which is on December 21. But with Peter and Hailey and the other two grandkids in the house we have blended our traditions and this meant the tree was decorated early - with Phoebe’s blessing. Juniper, now three was eager to help and made many of the decorations on this year’s tree. The tree is one of the prettiest ever! Only three more sleeps until Christmas!
