Sunshine girl


 Good morning,  I've had time to colour up a few images when I've been indoors hiding from the rain! This little sweetie is a Mo's Patreon image, not sure if it's available in the shop.  This makes me smile remembering how happy and excited my youngest granddaughter was on her birthday last month! She's a July baby -all the rest of her nursery class had had their 4th birthdays and she just couldn't wait for it to be her turn- she had the biggest smile on her little face all day long.  I'm finding it very hard to believe that she'll be starting school full time in a couple of weeks, it seems far too young- she's our baby!

Image is coloured with markers, I've paper-pieced her dress and the ribbon on her hat, then added shading with the markers. The sentiment comes with the image. 

Thanks for visiting

Chris

  1. Scary how quickly they grown up, Margo will be going to nursery in October, she's not two till the end of this month, but ready for it.

    This little image is adorable, beautifully paper pieced - we now who would have appreciated that and the sunrays all help give a lovely summery feel.

  3. Oh my Chris, this is such a sweet image, it hasn't hit the shop yet I would have seen I am sure. I love how you coloured her and the sun rays are perfect.
    Its funny how time goes so quickly with our grandchildren, I don't remember it being like that with my children, it seemed endless, haha, I hope your little sweetie enjoys school when it starts, lots of tears usually on first days, mainly from mum..xxxx

  15. She is gorgeous Chris!

    Time goes by far too fast. I can't believe that when the kids started school on Wednesday I had no one going. I was on the verge of waking both boys to get a first day photo anyway, but I'm not sure how popular I would have been!!

  25. Chris, The only thing I loved more than seeing your beautifully colored girl is reading about your daughter's joy-filled birthday celebration. How sweet! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Send a Smile 4 Kids.
