I'm doing 36 things
I am still learning to use watercolors. The painting I am posting today comes closer than anything I’ve done to getting the technique right. I used to say I use watercolor like it was acrylics, but I tried acrylics tonight and it is not possible.

How I did it
It made me
Feel accomplished 
How I did it: I went out and bought some Kermit the Frog material and a pattern. Had to modify the pattern a bit to try and make the pants fit my husband. Did well, but part of the waistband came undone and is still waiting to be repaired. Read how I did it…
It made me
Proud! Proud! Proud!
How I did it: Blood, sweat, tears, and a heaping helping of patience. Lol. The longest, most challenging project of my lifetime. Love and kindness go a long way. Openmindedness is a key to helping a child find their individuality. Read how I did it…

I’ve made a few small projects using basic squares and a few nine patch squares, which eventually, when I have enough will become a full sized quilt or lap quilt. I am really interested in art quilting. This goal may not be accomplished for years to come since there is so much to learn!
