Mad Tea Party Announcement!!!!

Vanessa Valencia has just announced this year's Mad Tea Party set for June, 26!!!! Hop on over to her blog for the announcement by clicking here!!


This is her third year to host the Mad Tea Party, but will be my first year to participate (I don't know what has taken me so long!). My mind is swirling about cookie, scone and cake recipes, the teas and their pretty cups with a table set for company!! Oh goodness, I better start planning as I see the time passing just like the White Rabbit !!!


Don't miss this event!!

Peanut Butter Skelly Time!

I was having a little peanut butter on a sesame rice cake while working on two skellies, and all of a sudden that silly little song, "peanut butter jelly time" popped in my head...only I don't have any jelly so I changed it to "peanut butter skelly time".

This is the little guy I'm working on today plus I have to get some things finished up in clay. I guess that makes it a two-fer day with a bit of clay and a bit of paint.

I also played with the new camera. I've had goldfinches and house finches on the bird feeders keeping me company as I work. I just love seeing them when I look up, which is happening more frequently since I have a squirrel that jumps up on a plant stand and clicks his little claws on the patio window to let me know he needs a peanut. Geez!

Off to finish my peanut butter....have a good day!

New Camera

Oh dear, I had to get a new camera last night because my antique wouldn't produce images with enough dpi for printing so I have spent the entire day photographing work. I went from 1.6 on my old camera to 12.1 megapixels (huge difference), and it was a pretty easy learning curve and transition regarding the new camera's operations. Sadly, I had to give up my floppy disks....I think I was due for an update!!

This is Salvador Squash...does he look crisp? (Please tell me yes even if you can't tell!)

Tomorrow I have to get to the studio... I hear little creatures begging for some paint!!

Have a great weekend!
