Limoncello and raspberries ,cupcake decadence

Just think.. Limoncello, lemon curd filling, cream cheese frosting and fresh raspberries all tied up in a cute little cupcake package.. oh yes I'm getting me some of that action..

They were delicious and really fun to make..

Eating from my hand... new painting..

Hi people.. well I managed to squeeze in a good painting session EVEN with the kids home for the summer !
Hope all you mama artists out there are scheduling in some art 'sanity' time ..hehe..

I'm still yet to name this one ..

 9 x 12  -Watercolor

I had fun with this.. I had never drawn a hand before so I used my son Luke as a 'hand model'.  He is very excited he thinks his hand is famous now :)

Let me know your thoughts on a good title for this painting..

I have lots of ideas bubbling over for ideas with this concept.. stay tuned..
Lots of love .. Helen xx

our first summer art project...

My two gorgeous boys were running around in the sunshine yesterday.. I couldn't resist snapping some shots...
and using this old window  I found with only 2 panes left intact..

We had lots of fun putting this together this morning.....a memento for the summer of 2011..

Happy weekend to you all :)
