A Doll Clothes Experiment

On November 29, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts10 Comments

What to get that little girl for Christmas? Doll clothes, of course! I've been reading up a little bit about WordPress and its capabilities for online sales. And since I have so many 18-inch doll clothes in my sewing room, waiting for the opportunity to become part of  "Debra Kay's Online Doll Clothes Emporium" (heretofore …

The Amazing Chocolate Mosaic Vase

On November 27, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics

So my neighbor was having this yard sale... I get the best stuff from my neighbors and their yard sales! So much so that I seriously have a folder of pictures on my computer, waiting to be made into a blog post about it. But for now, let's just start with the glass vase.I actually …

ABC Animals Part 6 – Zebra!

On November 26, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

You may have seen this before... It's from Foster and Panda's adventure, "Safari", when Foster wanted to go to Africa to visit his big cat relatives. In this photo, Panda has jumped up onto a zebra's back and jokes that they may be his long-lost relatives. Foster, as usual, admonishes him to get down, fearing …

ABC Animals, Part 5

On November 20, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

Almost done with ABC Animals! If you remember, in Part 4 we left off with the letter "S" and "Sea Horse" in progress.So "Sea Horse" is finally finished. That only left me with the letters T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z. I have to admit I was starting to get "artist's block" the …

A Trip To Seattle

On November 16, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda13 Comments

"Hey Panda! How tall is the Seattle Space Needle?"  Foster's voice woke me from a sound sleep. "I think it's 605 feet," I responded sleepily from under the bed. "Why?""Well," Foster began. "Mom has this crossword puzzle up here on the bed and I was just seeing if I could find some answers for her. …

The Art of Being “Big Girl”, Continued

On November 14, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized

Or, "Don't Try This at Home, Part 2" So the toilet in the guest bathroom had been leaking for awhile...If that opening sentence sounds familiar to you, you have probably read "Don't Try This at Home", where I detailed my (first) experience with Do-It-Yourself home plumbing. If you remember, I ran into a few problems …

Inktober, Finished!

On November 5, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

Yay! Inktober is done! Yes, I know it's November, but at least I finished my drawings on the first, so it may still have been October 31 somewhere in the world... So I only had three left to go when I posted "Inktober, Part 2". The words were "double", "jolt", and "slice". For "double" I thought …

Turtles!

On November 4, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics

Don't you just love turtles? I do, because, besides being cute, they have such potential to be whimsical. I like them in drawings, on stepping stones, in mosaics, photos, and even in real life. Except that if you get those really tiny ones at the pet store, you have to wash your hands after touching …

“Inktober”, Part 2

On October 26, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

But first, a review of Inktober, Part 1... I know you have been wondering (or not) where the rest of my "Inktober" drawings have been. Well, most of them have been in my mind, up until this week, when I realized I was so far behind I that I had to do about 10 drawings …

The Sago Palm Pot

On October 20, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics

Okay, you really don't want to know about my "former" sago palm... Suffice it to say that I had to trim back all its leaves... However, I managed to plant it in the flower bed, so we'll see how it does there. It also had two "babies" that I will be attempting to plant as …
