Spring in Full Swing

We've had a nice warm streak here in Big Sky Country, so it's finally springtime for sure. Here are a few projects the little one and I have been working on:
That's a springy wreath my little one wanted to make for her room. We got the idea from Pinterest, naturally. See the tutorial here. We also made another wreath for the front door. No tutorial for this one, but it's similar to all those other yarn wreaths out there:

I've also done some new pictures in oil paints. The first one turned out nicely, even though it didn't end up looking like the inspiration picture at all. The second painting is one for my dad, which I will give him for Father's Day. It's of the battlefield at Antietam National Park in Maryland. It looks much more like its inspiration photo.

Yeah, the stone fence didn't work out at all. Happy accident!


For Easter, the little one and I made bunnies. They were simple, inexpensive, and quick. Tutorial here.

And last but not least is the veggie garden in process:
They're just about ready for the garden!

So that's it. Sorry for the long post, but it's been a while, and I wanted to show you what I've been up to. Have a great week, guys, and see you back here next time!
