Friday's child ...

..is loving and giving.

These are the words I have written on my latest canvas. I am really pleased with it, it's the first one that I've created that I've been pleased with immediately.

Maybe the fact that I love the background makes the difference.

I love the little flowers that I made her hold

I decided not to add many rub-ons or details on to her dress as I really loved it when I'd finished and I didn't want to risk ruining it. Plus, as she is meant to be a young girl, I decided to keep her simple, free and delicate.

I did add a little detail to the bottom of her dress and gave her some small cotton socks with ruffled edges which to me just shout young girls (I always used to wear them :) ) I used tissue paper to make a ruffled trim to her dress.

I love this sun, it is a direct copy of the amazing sun that I saw Christy do and I just love it :)

If any of you have been struggling to decide whether to take one of Christy's classes, then don't hesitate, and if you haven't looked at her classes, then head over to her blog here and take a look. She is a fantastic teacher, and the HD videos that she makes are brilliant. As she is working away, she chats and makes you feel completely welcome and at ease. I am constantly saying cute now, and many times I find myself talking back to her on the videos and have to stop myself!! I don't think she is running the She Art class again for a little while, but she has a different one coming up called 'She Has 3 Hearts', so go and have a look if you are tempted. I have love love loved this class, and still have a few more videos to watch :)

I hope you all had a good Easter and have enjoyed the bank holiday weekend. We have another next week, yipee, thanks Will and Kate, you planned it well :) We had a good Easter, we had an Easter egg hunt in our back garden, take a look at Mum's blog here for some pics :)

Ok, bye for now
