☆ O is for .....

For Christmas, I usually try to make or paint something for my nieces and nephews. 

And usually they would have their Christmas presents long before now, but last year, we had Christmas with my in-laws (we are the only ones with kids on this side of the family) + I thought I would catch up with my family after New Years at a family wedding.

But of course, our wee beastie had other plans, and since she was late, we didn't make the wedding.

So now it is Easter, and my family are all together + my niece + nephew are still waiting for their Christmas present, which of course has been sitting on my studio desk for the last three months. 

And now it is Good Friday + for the last week, I haven't painted anything, but these gifts.

And  I am so close to finishing.

So close.

The painting might be wet when I frame it, but they will have their presents by the end of the weekend!

Of course 'O' is for Octopus.

O is for Octopus

I hope you have a great Easter weekend, I hope the Easter Bunny brings lots of yummy chocolate for you! 

I am going to relax with the family, knowing there is always empty arms for a baby, and some one else to deal with the tantrums, baths + constant requests!
