A crafty family...

Craftiness runs in my family.  Every aunt, uncle, cousin, brother, sister, etc has some incredible talent for art.  As you probably saw on a previous post, my mom made a really cute carseat/carrier cover, as she did for Christian when he was a baby.  She also has made a few Boppy covers.  Now she is working on the fun stuff... GIRL CLOTHES!  She has lots of projects lined up, but started on this outfit because it seemed fun.  (She handmade the ladybug applique.)

Christian has inherited this gift... plus the anal temperament that runs in my family.  He was at my mom's a few nights ago. The next morning I received this email:

Yesterday when Christian was painting with watercolors and after Mike got home, Christian asked Mike if he wanted to paint with him. So Mike goes over by Christian and starts to paint on the paper (same paper as CK). Christian got so frustrated with where Mike was painting and what he was painting that he said, ‘I need you go sit on the couch and watch TV because you’re not very good at this.’ Mike laughed then walked away to sit down.
Christian looked up at me with such a disgusted face, saying ‘he’s not very good at this’ while shaking his head.

Here is his artwork (Christian's, not Mike's):

And here is a butterfly he made a while back...
