illustration friday: stitch

Here's my submission for Illustration Friday's theme of "stitch"

(click image to enlarge)
Ester enjoyed a day of shopping after realizing that she didn't have a stitch of clothing that fit!

This piece was created as part of a line of 36 Go Girl! greeting cards licensed by The Greeting Place. Happy Weekend everyone!

Even your pregnant women glow ;)

Sorry about your migraines. I suffered for most of my life. I had a hysterectomy and they went away. DO NOT run out and get one!

Shop while you can girl! It gets a little more tricky when they arrive!
Very well done.

I think that dress is already in the bag and the ice-cream cone is a little celebration. Great fun Claudine!

I just love the way you convey so mush so sparingly. What a great pic to remind me of those months so long ago!

Oh, how I remember those days, loved them! Also wanted to tell you....I've been a painter for many years and more recently gotten into mixed media on my canvases. I absolutely love Collage Discovery Workshop. Now I'm gluing stuff to those canvases along with the texture mediums and having a ball. Thanks.

Even though nothing fits, she looks very content:> It must be the baby, the ice cream cone, the cute doggie... with all that, who needs clothes that fit!
