Hi Everyone....
I am so thankful for everyone that leaves me some ideas for new paintings...I end up learning about new things and it is fun to research and read...today's painting was requested by a Russian blog friend....
so here is my matryoshka doll, also known as a Russian nested doll or a babushka doll. It is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other. The word "matryoshka" is derived from the Russian female first name "Matryona" . The word "babushka" is the Russian word for grandmother.
You know years ago I purchased some wood nesting doll blanks and actually painted an angel set...i will have to find it...last time I saw it Cole took it and it must be in one of his toy chests....I need to get some more blanks...so I can create a special set of these....
I also added a photo of some cupcakes I baked for our Girls night last night ....these are mini brownie cupcakes with peanut butter and a batch of raspberry chocolate ones...
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
Hugs
Diana
Hi Everyone....I am so excited to introduce my latest creations..."Sweet Cuppies" These dolls are all original...right down from the cute fabric I designed and had printed to the custom original hand painted faces that make each one it's own little character....I sew and create these myslef...It is so much fun! I even design and create their cute little mini cupcake purses...what a riot!
Molly loved being a paper doll...she knew no matter what dress she would get for the day...they would be intricate and fun to wear!!

Each year Brad brings out our outdoor snowman and lights it up indoors for Cole...a little tradition they started on his first Christmas....here is this years pic of Cole and below is him as a baby in his swing....I love this cute tradition....hehehe
