Elmer the Patchwork Elephant
Both my little daughters just LOVE the books of Elmer the Patchwork Elephant by David McKee and want to have the colorful creature on their bedroom wall. It’s a very funny elephant indeed, so I painted him for them. It took some time, but I finished the two paintings yesterday! My oldest daughter is fascinated by the illustration where Elmer is looking down in the ravine, so although it isn't the most beautiful illustration in the book, I had to paint this one for her. My youngest loves colors, so I chose an illustration with lots of colors for her. www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ Two of my projects were featured this week, YAY! Misty of The Creative Itch featured my Snowflakes . And Stephanie of Toastie Studio featured my Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet ! Thanks, Misty and Stephanie!!

Recently I painted our living room over in grey and white and since a lot of accessories don’t match those colors anymore, I’m busy making things to redecorate. Last year I bought this beautiful plate in Istanbul, but because it didn’t really look nice on the terracotta colored wall we had before, it laid in a kitchen cabinet until now. To have more things in the same color combination I cross stitched this little home sign. The pattern for it I found at Kinkavel Krosses . www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ Vanessa of NiftyThrifty Things and Jill of A Round Tuit both have featured my Reindeer ! Thank you very much, Vanessa and Jill!!
Matryoshka
For the same friend I made the potholders in my last post for, I also embroidered this little Matryoshka. Glad to say my friend loved both, potholders as well as Matryoshka! I changed the pattern a little bit, but the original pattern of the Matryoska I found at Oksana Plus Hobbies . www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ This week Q of JAQS Studio featured my Snowflakes! Thank you, Q!
