I found out my last handmade Christmas present made it's way to the recipient today so I can now post photos of what I managed to paint the week before my trip to MI.
I began making nanny chairs along with matching baby quilts about 6 years ago. The first two recipients were my nieces Christy and Carrie. The baby quilts w/matching hand painted "time out chairs" as we nick-named them due to the then popular 'Nannie TV Show' were for their girls Riley and Mya.
Since then I have made I think about 9 sets?? Well my nephew Ryan has a new son Mason and I made the baby quilt and it was given as the shower gift but I still owed them the chair.
So here it is along with a second chair I painted as a surprise Christmas gift for another couple:

| I was in a time crunch so sadly set up shop in my dining room |
 |
| yup my dining room |
 |
| At the same time was working on another chair in my basement work area. Notice my sketch book below with my ideas for while I work. |

| Mason's chair matches fabric from a baby quilt |
 |
| I had picked up this bench a while ago always had a feeling it could become something special little did I know my son's good friends would have twins someday ;-) So how's this for a "double time out chair" haha? Got to say "better them then me " I heard tonight it matches their room. ;-) |

| This is Mason's time out chair completed. |

This is my grand-daughter "Charlotte" on Christmas day trying Mason's chair out
but let me clarify she was NOT in time out ;-)

Next weekend we get to head to PA to see the rest of our grandchildren to celebrate with them a belated Christmas and a Happy New Year (we're baby sitting)….please stay tuned….
